I just attended my first rifle match. I have shot a few high power rifles before (AK47 & SKS), but not for competition. A friend is heavy into the match shooting and he invited me to attend. His friend, the one conducting the match, loaned me his Garand which was a bonus. It was very difficult, but a whole lot of fun. Now I've got the itch to buy a Garand.
There were five of us. The friend who invited me got first. He's been doing it for a couple of years and was trained by the best. I'm sure I would have been pretty low in the ranking if the group had been larger, but I was happy to get 4th. The guy in 5th was also a newb to match shooting.
I did fairly well (in my eyes) in the prone and sitting, but dang...the standing was tough.
I have to call my friend and yell at him for giving me something else to spend my money on in shooting.
