Man...it IS WAAAAAAAY harder than it looks. I'm looking at the steel targets thinking...this is nothing, those plates are the same size as the targets I shoot at.
The first stage was the easiest, 4 large plates with one small steel as the stop in the middle....so of course that's where everyone wanted to start.
I started in the middle, five small plates arranged as awkwardly as they could. I had a stock P95 with 2 15 round mags and 2 10 round mags...each stage had five strings of fire. I should have more than enough ammo right??? WRONG. Had to reload one of my 15 rounders. I settled down after that and posted some decent times.
I have to admit being a little intimidated by the guys with the custom STI's and scopes but I was hanging in (barely) with the guys shooting stock factory carry weapons.
How many of you guys who shoot competition actually invest in your own steels or USPSA target holders and drag em out to practice??? It's so much fun I think I'm going to have to go get a cheapo set just for kicks.
Any advice to a newb competition shooter (practice routines or whatever) would be appreciated too.
