Okay, real beginner here.
My question is simple. At what point should I consider starting to compete at a USPSA/IDPA event?
I'm mediocre at indoor ranges shooting paper targets (mostly bulls) out to about 12 yards. When I say mediocre, I mean my groups are hand/fist-sized with "routine flyers".
I've done NO/ZERO/Nada holster/draw work and the same with movement - the indoor range won't allow and isn't set up for either.
The closest USPSA/IDPA matches/clubs are 60 miles from me. I don't know anyone in any of the clubs for an introduction/first time meetup.
What I "know" about such events comes from some youtube videos and reading a bit about it on various websites.
