Tactical style range

[Irving]

Just shoot a regular pistol IDPA or ISPSC match. You virtually can't be embarrassed at a pistol match. Most people just stand around talking to each other during the hours between their turns. It gets super boring, super fast, watching people shoot the same stage for 1.5 hours at a time.

I went to a match the other day, and there was a guy that I saw there two years ago, every one knew his name and he was definitely a regular. He didn't even finish.

In the nicest way possible, if you become embarrassed at a match, it will be an issue of you being too sensitive, rather than a bad shot.

People have gun malfunctions and have to shot stages over all the time. No one can really even tell if you shot poorly anyway.

Lastly, I know I've told this story too many times before, but in one match, I used an entire mag trying to hit ONE piece of steel. Everyone was nice about it, and it wasn't a big deal.

In many cases, all the practice done before competing is for not and bad habits were practiced to the point of hard to break problems. go to a match, and then the learning begins.

best advice.

One other thought is to do it yourself. Frontier has two ranges that one can set up whatever you want. Over the years I have built stuff to the point that I can set up 6 silhouettes and have 8 pieces of steel. That coupled with a few other things means I can set up small 3-gun style practice areas.

Another thought is to just go to a match, pay the entry fee, and begin the learning.

There is a match at Clear Creek on April 9th. Are you coming?

Havent been there in 5 years or so, but I went as a guest to the Aurora gun club once and they had barriers, tires, and barrels. It was a lot of fun.
