I'll be there Sunday, good luck. Thanks. According to Practiscore, there's about 35 spots left right now. One has to wonder if the move from WV to Southern Maryland had something to do with it.

waktasz Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I honestly wasn't planning on shooting it again this year until I heard it was in WV. I wanted to see that range for the first time. Nothing wrong with the southern maryland club, but I've been there 3 times already for majors. Get your hosing skills ready. The bays are small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp88 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I started shooting almost two years ago and waited until June to shoot my first major. I wish I had gone to one sooner. I started really practicing with something to look forward to and it has motivated me to keep going. As long as you are up on your safety for USPSA I say find one and take a buddy.

telligentgunner Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) Save your money and try to dominate local matches first. I spent a lot of money to do my first major, got DQd for a finger call, and wasted that money. Get good locally and get your mental management right first before you hit major matches.

AndyG Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Heck yea you should. You'll gain a lot of experience and the end result will make you a better shooter. Go have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1911 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Do it. Major matches are set up with better stages usually and it's a great thing to experience how they're run compared to local matches. You might even get to meet a few "gun celebs" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streckjc Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 This has been an interesting thread for me reading through it. I started shooting USPSA last year and classified C in Production, only shooting about 6 total matches due to double retina detachment surgery in the late summer. I'm moving to Limited this year and will shoot my first match of the new season (super classified) this Thursday evening. I've signed up for 2 level 2 matches here in Colorado (Big Horn sectional and CO state championships) as well as a yearly level 1 match that's more about crazy fun than competition. I'm thinking about doing Area 2 in November as well if I can get a spot. The one thing I hadn't really thought about is being DQ'd on some type of technicality as mentioned earlier in the thread due to level 2 & 3 matches being more focused on stuff like that than just local matches. I'm going to have to make sure all my gear is properly set and in accordance with the rules for Limited (which are much less restrictive than Production). Plus be more conscience of safety rules as well so I don't get tossed for a dumb mistake that's avoidable. And while doing all that, try to have fun and make some new friends.
