Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I'm new too! I have shot both USPSA and steel challenge in the 4 weeks since I started. I'd start wtih steel challenge if it's available for all the reasons Nimitz described. I've shot both and enjoy both. No matter what you decide my best advice would be to tell everyone you're new to the sport! I did, and all the RO's gave me clear and precice commands at a pace that was easy to follow, answered any questions I had, and made it a really enjoyable first experience. I spent the better part of a day plinking steel and loving every minute! It can be a bit intimidating seeing all the really fast shooters and all the fancy gear. Don't let that discourage you. Everyone there was a beginner once! I shot my first steel challenge with my Glock 19/holster and 3 magazines/pouches on a leather belt. I'll be upgrading my gear as I shoot more and decide what my preferences will be. My biggest priorities are safety, and how I'm going to afford it now that I found out how much fun it is because I want to shoot every chance I get!!!
  2. I shot my first match at Ben Avery last Thursday! I spectated at about 5 matches before I took the plunge! Three at Rio (including Spring Steel...AWESOME!) and two at Phoenix R&G. Some friends were in town from Canada and shot every match they could the two weeks they were here and I got to tag along! They met a fellow Canadian who's a member at Ben Avery and he invited me to try it out! I'd like to shoot at all three places but it's too tough to get to Rio after work on Tuesdays before 1900 and PR&G starts even earlier. Ben Avery is closest to my work/house, so I'll be shooting there for a while! Do you have a favorite?
  3. New to the world of competitive shooting! I thought I'd have fewer questions after I shot my first match last week but it seems the amount has been multiplied instead of reduced! So grateful to have found this forum and all it has to offer. Best Regards!
