Boomstick303, that was an excellent description of how to develop a plan. I'm actually going to print it out to review once matches start up around here again.

I agree. At this stage in life, it's all about the fun. Obviously, being a competitive person by nature , I still want to be somewhat proficient.

Ahhhhh.... Actually, I do plan to shoot limited, but I have a 9mm, so I guess I'm stuck shooting minor then. That kind of stinks.

There are some valuable tips here. I really appreciate the responses.

I'm 68 yrs old and I've been shooting local club steel challenge type matches for about 10 years. I think I'm pretty proficient, especially for my age. I really want to get more involved with shooting USPSA matches. I've only shot one so far and had a blast, even though I was pretty darn slow. Here's one of the main problems I'm having and I am hoping to find some tips or advice to work with. I don't know if it's my age, but I have a tough time remembering the layout once that timer goes off. While I'm waiting to shoot I try to analyze the stage, but when the timer starts....... I would really like to hear how you more experienced USPSA shooter handle remembering the stage. Thanks!

I was looking down the list off messages in the BEginners area and saw somebody recently joined from Maryland. Well... not you got another one. I'm from Harford county. I've heard a lot of good things about this forum, so I decided to check it out. I've had a pistol for many years, but in the last year or so I've got much more involved in shooting. Partly, because my 17 year old son has taken a interest. We now own a Beretta 92, a Metro Arms 1911, a Rossi 92, S&W 15-22, and a Polish Tantal AK-74. We began using the pistols for some fun steel shoots at a range nearby. I also started reloading this year to help me defray the costs of all this shooting. Now I need to learn how to make some loads that are not only helpful cost wise, but also more accurate. Looking forward to learning a lot here.
