Well pretty much all the reasons have been covered but I still want to put my 2 cents in. After much harassment I finally attended my first pistol match almost 2 years ago. I was squadded up with Phil Strader and Mike Seeklander, intimidated ... Understatement! But they were both very helpful and supportive... I continued shooting pistol matches and a short time later met the Sanfords. They of course told me all about the 3 gun fun I was missing out on. The next weekend I went to the 3 gun match at USSA I watched the match with Jesses squad and met Tony Wall , Cory Couch, Jake Burki and several others . My sides hurt from the how much i was laughing. Fast forward 2 years and Im somewhere shooting almost every weekend, my wall of fame doesnt have any trophies just an extensive collection of gun oil and stickers from the big matches but I have alot of fun. Had it not been for those positive experiences early on Im not sure Id still be competing, So I just want to say thanks to all of you. And to everyone always remember we all had a first match so when theres a new shooter keep extending the hospitality that we all got when we started.
