Yesterday was my first competition pistol match in my entire 48 year life. I had a great experience! My only regret is I have waited so long to finally try this.
If you are sitting back and wondering about competition shooting and think you cannot, or it's too hard, or you don't know where to start, or who to talk to to get started. Don't wait any longer. You truly do not know what you are missing.
Do not let your ego or your nerves stop you from enjoying this sport.
I am a good example of a gun lover that has been around firearms their entire life and have limited myself to just the gun sports I was involved in. I have shot all types of air guns, rifles, shotguns, pistols, muzzleloaders, and what not throughout my life whether hunting, plinking, or just throwing lead into inanimate objects.
Though I did not really know where to start until I stumbled on this site, I would have allowed my ego and my "know it all" attitude about guns to stop me from trying this.
I implore any of you that are like I was, that just need the encouragement to take the chance, do not wait any longer.
If you want to know more, but are still afraid to talk openly about it on this forum, PM me. I would be more than happy to tell you what it felt like to stand there at that first stage, worrying you were going to fail miserably, finally shooting it, and then realizing you can do this afterall.
