Hello everybody:

I recently became addicted to shooting again and am now interested in getting involved in competitions (something I have never done). I have been driving from south Tulsa/north Bixby to shoot at Happy Hallow in Sapulpua and am looking at joining Red Castle if things at work pan out (stay put vs. transfer). This site certainly has plenty of information to digest and many friendly members willing to pass on knowledge. I grow weary of the forum arguments (I would love to see folks say to a person's face the rude things they type) on shotgunworld and ar15; this forum seems to be vacant of those imbeciles. I rarely post on forums as the negative behavior as always been a barrier for me. I believe this forum will be much different. I would like to say thank you up front for the many informative posts.

I will get some pics up in the various threads in order to make some quick content contributions.

From what I read, it appears that the best route to get involved in a match is to just get over the shyness and just show up. I am still a little puzzled over the equipment. I want to eventually get into some of the 3-gun matches; however, it would appear that IDPA pistol is the best place to start (especially for me as I do not own a semi-auto rifle YET). I have a 10mm Colt Delta Elite which is probably less then ideal, but also probably workable in the right division. I need to purchase some magazines and pouches. A quick question right off the bat - Are there mag pouches that are not allowed? I was going to pick up one of the three pouch types but I believe I read that they were not allowed??? Also, do I need to join any club or association to shoot at the local area matches, e.g. IDPA, Oil, Muskogee, USSA?

First to pick up on my screen name will receive something in the mail from me.

Thanks and I am looking forward to meeting folks, learning what I can, and passing on to others,

jd
