When there is a new shooter on our squad I always try to encourage them after each run {build their confidence} and amswer any questions they may have. It is real easy for a new person to be overlooked , I was lucky and always had some good mentors in IDPA,USPSA and Long Range comps. I can imagine someone comeing to a match solo knowing no one for the first time. {pretty overwhelming to say the least} I guess treat a new person like you would want to be treated and more shooters will come back!
