Hey everyone!
I've just recently moved down to GA, grew up in KS shooting guns for fun. Heard about a local club that's active in USPSA and Steel Challenge and what not from a coworker of my husband's. I went to their once a year Competitive Shooting Class for Beginners and instantly fell in with some of the regular club members. It's been a dream! Going from not knowing more than two people and my new hair dresser in town, to having a group of inclusive, awesome people to hang out with and learn from. They've been so helpful and encouraging. I've competed two weekends now, a USPSA and a Target Pistol matches. Every time I shoot, my form continues to evolve and improve and my skills progress! I'm shooting with a gen 3 Glock 19 and it's a beast in my tiny hands, but i'm still pressing thru and making progress.
This is definitely something I think I can continue to improve on and move up in the classifications. I'm working on getting a G34 to help out with recoil and improve competitive ability. As I get my form and accuracy down pat, i'm hoping to improve my speed as well. I've already invested in the BSPS BOSS hanger and holster, 5 ghost mag holders, and AA belt set - it's like a second skin after just borrowing from various gracious club members. I have the desire and competitive nature to strive for excellence in this sport!
My uncle is a competitive cowboy shooter and has a bunch of steel targets in his yard. As a family, we'd go over and plink on those from time to time. So it hasn't been too difficult a transition into moving and shooting various targets.
I really look forward to researching more and learning as much as I can about this awesome sport and community.
A bit about me....

I love the outdoors, have tried just about everything, adrenaline junkie. Off roading, dirt biking, camping, rock climbing, hiking, mtn biking, sky diving, etc.
so thanks for having me here, I look forward to getting to know more about competing and the community.
