A lot of fun - and strict safety rules.
For the safety part, you'll get far by ensuring that your trigger finger is straight, outside the trigger guard, when you are not engaging a target - and by knowing at all times that your gun is pointed in a safe direction. If your gun has a safety lever, use it when moving.
For the fun, people enjoy different things. Hitting a close target fast can be a blast, hitting a difficult target can be highly rewarding. Nailing a reload is cool. I recall a target where the RO called "20 A": I'd just ran past the target and shot it at the last moment; My muzzle blast blew off half the tapes. (Only 2 As actually went into the score card... )
