[Newb looking into competitive shooting]

You can go watch a match.  They are open to the public.  Just bring eye and ear protection.  Stand at the back of the squad shooting and don't touch anything on the stage you are watching.  Someone will eventually notice you and offer to answer questions about what is going on.  Very sociable sport with some really good people.

Thanks man, i appreciate the advice. I would have felt really stupid showing up without ears ha, so one mistake saved.

[Kid is cross eye dominant]

I didn't realize how many people shoot this way. My right eye was my dominant eye until a few years ago, and i could notice it slowly switching. I have a astigmatism in my right eye it makes red dots really awkward to use now. Is it true that reflex sights aren't affected the same way, the shape and image of the dot? Don't know if that has anything to do with cross eye dominance or not but figure some of you guys might be dealing with both as well.

Forgive me for the dumb question, being a newb as well, but can people go watch matches that aren't shooting in them? I would like to dip my toes in the water so to speak, and just see how everything works until im ready to jump in.
