All great advice - no matter how long you've been shooting or how new we might be, there's always something to learn. I too have also found that most everyone in this sport loves to give back; they'll almost all give advice when asked and are willing to help with whatever you need.
My one big pet peeve, and this doesn't just apply to newbies as I see way too many experienced shooters NOT do this; everyone on the squad needs to help with picking up brass, pasting targets and resetting steel unless your the next shooter, on deck or just finished. When I see the RO, scorekeeper and the next shooter up picking, pasting and resetting because the rest of the squad is too busy telling stories about how great they shot or how bad the stage is etc, it really rubs me the wrong way. None of us are above helping out with the small stuff - it makes the match go faster and is just the right thing to do.
G, thanks for getting this going and to all the others for keeping it going with great advice!
