firesafety3 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Been passing by for a few weeks now and finally took time to register today. I've been shooting since I was around 10 but just started shooting USPSA this past summer. My son is 15 and I just got him involved a few weeks ago. I shoot a Para 16-40 Limited and Ryan competes with a Springfield XD 40. I've been a member of other gun forums for a few years now, and bought and sold guns and gear. This seems to be the forum that helps you get the most out what you have, for the sport that we really enjoy. Do I want to be competitive? With myself mostly. How disciplined can I become and shave off a few seconds here and there. I find this sport is much like golf, which I also enjoy with my son. Getting out in the open air, getting some decent gear so you can take the blame for poor performance, and practice...practice...practice. I wanted to get this first post behind me so I can start participating in some of the great dialoge generated here. There are some great folks with years of experience to share. Speaking of decent gear, I'm scouring around for CR Speed holster or preferably a complete rig. So help a new guy out of you hear of a "closet cleaning" sale. Thanks to all the guys that take time to shoot the sport, then sit down at the computer to share their experience...good or bad. Don't worry, I'll be sharing some of my noobie screw-ups. I appreciate you welcoming new members. I'll earn my keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerwas Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Speaking of decent gear, I'm scouring around for CR Speed holster or preferably a complete rig. So help a new guy out of you hear of a "closet cleaning" sale. It has been my experience that a good deal can be found on the USPSA website, but they are not plenty. One of the best places I have found is Glock talk Good luck and welcome aboard. There is a TON of good information on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
