Today I picked up my Grandmaster...WOW! Aside from having to break it in, it's a sweet ride!!!! Today was the first time I ever shot an Open Gun as well. I know what you're thinking, why would anyone buy an Open gun without ever having shot one first? Funny I bought my STI Edge and all of my gear without having ever shot an IPSC Match too (I shot IDPA before). Luckily I liked it, and here I am now with my new Open gun and loving it.
While I was waiting to get it, I read all 32 posts on the Open forum to find out everything I possible could about Open guns. I was so surprised that when I started shooting it today, it didn't seem to take very much for me to get used to it. I honestly figured that there'd be a big learning curve to Holding, Aiming, and Shooting it, but I picked up on it really quickly. I guess shooting Limited iron sighted guns really helped. I know that there's quite much I will need to learn in the transition, but todays session went really well.
I really think I've found my new division.
