Heartland was my first match, found out about it via Cary while watching an IPSC match.

Good to see you there.Sasquatauch said:
My first match was a USPSA classifier match. I shot 39.xx% making me a D class shooter.
I hopped around different divisions so that D class in Production is my only classification. I will be shooting another classifier in April and hope I can make B... we'll see.

Ok, I finally pull the trigger and did my first match last night at heartland. Almost cracked the top 10 in low capacity class. Seriously, it was a great time and something I look forward to doing again.

I'm shooting my first 3 gun match this Saturday. Am I ready, NO. I have no shot shell caddies, my AR is as stock as one can be. Shooting at 225 yards with iron sights will be fun. But you know what, I'm going to have fun and I'm going to learn a lot. Will let you know how it turn out.

I shot my first 3 Gun Match today. It started with shotgun and then moved to rifle. Between the 2 stages was only 20 yards. My heart was pounding out of my chest and breathing was off the chart. The rest of the stages were better but I was so excited to play. Hope I never lose that feeling.

Hi Doc, Yes it was. I tell people about it all the time. Wish we had a place here that he could come teach more.

My first exposure to shooting sports was by accident. I happened to be at the collin county gun range In texas during a IDPA match. I watched one match and was hooked. I shot there about two months and took a two day class at texas defensive shooting academy. Those two days improved my game by 200%.

I just shoot my first USPSA match on the 17th January 2014 in Wichita, KS. I must say I had a blast. I messed up a couple of times but, I still had a blast. Also on the positive side, I did not place last either, so I felt really good about that. I want to shoot this Friday night but I need to same my ammo and money for the GSSF match on the 25th of the month. Thanks Boomershooter and my patrol captain for introducing me to the shooting sports. Also thanks to Wichita Pracital Pistol Club for having me out on Friday night.

So I shot today in my first match unofficially, it was nicely called a train wreck. However, I got to meet some super cool people, talk weapons platforms, and realize that 3gun is NOTHING like precision matches.

I'm about to compete on this coming Sunday's USSA Steel Challenge (02-03-2014). I'm a nervous, anxious, and excited but after watching the 3 Gun matches a couple of times now I think I'm ready to kick some ass and make the best of my first time. Who knows, I might one day give Max Michel a run for his money.

Shot my first 3 gun match Sunday 11th at Birchwood Recreation & Shooting Park http://brspclub.com Alaska. Used Jesse's gear list as reference for ammo. So boomershooter was an influence. Had a great time with the other dozen or so shooters including 11yr old girl. My CZ712 didn't like the Remington STS shot I had from 10 years ago, and I need to work on my stability with rifle at long ranges.
See club calendar for events if you are visiting Alaska. Shoot year round so if you're here in winter layer up and have insulated boots.

I think I shot my first match in 2014 maybe. Could have been 13. Anyway I shot one. I shot SS major and sucked. I shoot limited major now and still suck. Probably has something to do with showing up and no work put in leading up to the match.
