There is a fallacy that one division is easier than another, that idea simply isn’t true.  The only truth is a production or limited shooter can spend less to get started in the sport than Open. But, if a person wants to actually be competitive the same level of participation and practice is required in all the divisions. 

 

For those who think reloading is an issue, all divisions have the same requirements when it comes to classifiers and the only place it will seem easier is in the field courses. As a Production shooter I often have to reload twice for ever one reload an Open or Limited shooter might do, but the caveat is all the shooters in that division have the same requirement. 

 

So which division should a new shooter start in? The one they think is the best, however I think there’s less equipment issues with either limited or production.

For most people's first match, with gear they are likely to show up with, Limited.  Even after that, it's easier to focus on stage plans and shooting in Limited when you don't have to reload every array.

Gotcha thanks so much. Besides the accelerator cut, we can still have that area stippled and still do double undercuts right? Thanks again for all your help!

That's pretty much spot on.

Shoot what ya got, within the rules, and stop worrying about placement until you're able to place.
