Reach in there an clear that thing. At least one grain of that sand must be a pearl by now.

Fine. I'll show up on Sunday. But I'm only bringing experimental ammo.

Some things never change.

Any Riley Board Members going to shoot this match? I need to submit my application.

more to it than submitting your application. you have to take a test and go thru the orientation.

 

[Good on paper]

I just joined USPSA this week and while I've hit a few steel challenges I've yet to shoot a USPSA course. I feel cautiously confident in my safe handling and understanding the RO commands but am not sure if I'm ready to participate. Should I come out and observe or should I go ahead and bring my gear and participate?

You can come. As long as you follow the safety rules of gun handling (the 4 rules, keeping muzzle downrange and finger outside trigger guard when not engaging targets when moving, do not break the 180º rule during reloads and when engaging targets), you should be ok. Just shoot the targets and try not to rush. Tons of shooters there will help you.

Thanks! I feel like I can handle the safety aspects and will go as slow as I need to, I guess everyone was the F.N.G. at one time. People have been friendly and supportive at all the matches I've been to.

I plan on being there.

Uhh you can't break the 180 rule any of the time....

You will be fine. Just let your RO know that you are new and he will give you some pointers as well as move you down in the shooting order so you can see how others shoot it.

Just emphasizing as those mentioned are the most commonly broken for anyone new to this sport, when they're in the act of reloading or forgetting a target behind them. Cut them some slack man. Also might want to re read my post as I already mentioned about the muzzle.
