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.

You are scored major in limited only if you are shooting 40sw at 165 PF and above. While it is possible to shoot minor in Limited, you are at a significant scoring disadvantage unless you are accurate and very fast.
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.

When I decided to shoot USPSA at 67 I took the advice of experienced shooters and started in Limited. You have fewer mag changes, so stage planning is easier. You are also scored major, so that is a plus. Their advice to me was go slow and be accurate. Speed will come later. It was good advice.
Why are you scored Major in Limited? I thought only caliber, weight and FPS determined that.

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.
Old guy, new to USPSA. Need advice or tips

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.
