You're a poet Jim

I was so looking forward to this, but problems at home today take precedence. Have a good day guys. I'll try to catch the next one.

Mr stu. Wtf. Next one is 2020with apocalyptic winters weve been having. See ya at somerset.

Wise words from Chief Runzwif Gunz.

How as the match?

 

I spent the morning making coffee and pouring said coffee and orange juice for our baseball team's pancake breakfast at Applebee's.  

 

Team raised $2,100....

The match was great, IMHO.

3-Gun sounds like fun.

 

Did some more research on it. I'm not quite ready but look forward to signing up for some at some point.

My advice to you is to first shoot a pistol based action shooting game, be it USPSA, IDPA, Steel, anything. That would get you used to the general safety rules, how matches run, etc. We did have at least 2 people who never shot any competition before and they worked it out after my minimalist briefing, but I usually don't recommend jumping in feet first into 3gun without first going through another action shooting game. There is a lot going on.

Vlad - it was a good briefing.. I made it thru the day! Thx

 

Big thanks to all the folks who had to bear with this newbie. You guys & gal were great! I'm hooked but have prep work to do.

 

Kevin - take Vlad's advise... There is a lot to take in at once. Start with the pistol action game - won't hurt to also watch a 3 gun match before diving in.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Vlad G and Werder.  Thnx.  Yeah, I don't intend on getting into a 3-Gun match just yet.  I'm not familiar with how they're run at this point and the last thing I want to do is create a safety issue or even slow a match down because I'm unfamiliar with the procedures.   I just want to get used to shooting at a range again then I'll watch some matches before I enter one.  The USPSA matches, from what I've seen on the web, seem less complex and a better place to start.  So thanks again for the good advice.  That's pretty much what I had in mind.

My advice would be to shoot at a steel plate or one of Old Bridge's indoor USPSA matches.

 

In both events you've be supervised in the making ready, draw and clearing process of the firearm, and believe it or not, a lot of DQ's occur at this stage, so it's an important part to learn and learn correctly.  Shooting steel is nice because you get used to the aspect of being "run" (supervised) which many aren't used to as well as shooting in a reactive environment (bang....TING!).  The indoor match at Old Bridge is a terrific way to be introduced into USPSA because its a much more informal (lower round count/less complicated stages) match but you still get the supervision aspect as well as Vlad's new shooter briefing, which is worth the price of admission on it's own. lol

Thanks King. That sounds like a good idea.
