Joined USPSA just over a year ago, while still 21.

Since then, USPSA has become my primary all-consuming hobby (just got my new blaster for my Limited rig this past week!).

I shot numerous "unofficial" multigun matches (with a mix of USPSA and IDPA rules) for approx. 2 years before that while still in IL (during college @ UIUC - matches not related to the university, though on a semi-related note I did shoot on the UIUC Trap & Skeet Team as well).

First match in 1998, at age 36. Stopped shooting for a few years, came back in 2008.

22 as I recall.

I showed up to a club match in 1987 with a Glock 17 in a Galco Miami Vice rig. It was explained that I could not use this rig so I shot the gun mexican style (tucked into my jeans) with my left rear pocket serving as a mag holder. I did get a Glock holster and shot with it for a while, never got mag holders back then.

I dropped out for 18 years and came back to it in 2005. Now I shooting another Glock 17, although I've vastly upgraded my my gear. No way I would shoot or allow another shooter to run a Glock without a holster these days though.

In 2003 at age 22. Just started to actually get serious about it 2 or 3 years ago, though. Once I read Brian's book, I actually started to pay attention to what I was doing and have been improving in leaps and bounds ever since.

Interesting side note, the first club I shot at, CRAPS in Cedar Rapids, IA, actually had their first match on the day I was born. I didn't have a gun yet, though!
