  1. Thanks everyone. I'm just glad no one got hurt, it's been running through my mind all day. I'll be back out there in two weeks to redeem myself (at least safety wise). Next week is Rimfire Steel in Piru I was shooting a Springfield XD9 4" today. Waiting on a holster for the CZ SP-01 tactical
  2. I went to the Norco USPSA match this morning and DQ'd on the fourth stage of the day... Stage 1 - Qualifier (?) - One shot on each target, reload, one shot on each target strong hand. I used two hands on shot 7/8. First USPSA stage EVER, I can live with that. Got 2 penalties. One of the old-timers got DQ'd, had a ND during the reload going over the berm Stage 2 - Mix of paper and steel, nothing too complicated. Hit all the targets, no no-shoots, no mikes (spelling?) - Feeling pretty good and doing decently for my first time out. Stage 3 - 32 steel targets, 3 mag reloads. Still feeling good, middle of the pack. Not the slowest, definitely not the fastest but getting a hang of everything Stage 4 - Drew from the holster, ND about a foot and a half in front of me... Almost literally shot myself in the foot... I was too caught up with opening the door and trying to hit one of the spinning bonus targets. Should have slowed down and skipped the bonus! Everybody was nice about it and told me not to get discouraged, told me to come back next week and that it happens to everyone like the regular on stage 1, etc. etc.It was a good/tough learning experience. Gotta keep that trigger finger off the trigger until I'm ready to engage the targets and to take my time!!!!! I'm still kicking myself. This was my first ND in my short 26 years of life and was a huge eye opener. Could have ended much worse. Anyways, tell me about the time you DQ'd at your first USPSA match...
  3. Just wondering how many matches the average shooter attends each month. I currently go to a first saturday of the month match so only once a month, however, I'm planning to attend a weekly USPSA match in Norco. As of right now, the fiance seems okay with this but we'll see what happens in a few months/years...
  4. I'm a new member from Southern California and wanted to say hello. I currently shoot rimfire steel challenge matches at Piru first Saturday of each month but have never attended a running gun match. I just found out about USPSA matches in Norco and IDPA matches at Prado and plan to attend one in the next few weeks.
