I'm going to have to bow out. Looks like a line of storms heading in.

Looks settled in for the morning. Hopefully it clears up this afternoon so I can at least do a little QA

For those who didn't make it sure missed out! It was a really fun day. The rain quit right before 10 and only sprinkled on us for a few minutes. Max had a popper activated Texas Star that started spinning before you got to it! What a great learning day!! Thanks Max, I had a great time

Thinking about doing the Practice/Training day every month. Anybody interested? Thinking maybe the 3rd Saturday of each month and maybe the 5th Sunday in months that have a 5th weekend. The Saturday group was a lot of fun and they all really improved as the day when on. Good time. You guys let me know what you think. Max
I've been lurking in the shooting sports forum section for a while. I want to come out and watch a match one day, but I've been having family obligations last couple months. Would the training day be open to anyone, or only member? I've been told Max is the best around and I need to talk to him about training if I want to try this sport.

If I were you I wouldn't leave my gear at home if you come out to watch
Just read through the sticky at the top of this page to make sure you have enough mags and carriers for the division that you want to shoot in and then come to a match and shoot.
just tell the person doing sign in that it's your first match and they will out you on a squad with some experienced shooters that will be more than happy to help you out
An event like this with max would be a good place to start as well. You do not have to be a member of uspsa or the host club to shoot a local match.
ACT also puts on an intro to competition class and that is how I got started send coach a pm and ask him when the next one is .
welcome I hope to see you at a match soon
I was pretty intimidated my first time. Hell, I was somewhat anxious and on edge the first couple of matches I shot. I just didn't want to do anything wrong. It CAN seem a bit overwhelming because were 'running' around with firearms but the clubs and they're volunteers do outstanding. Any question you have can be answered within seconds and everyone is really friendly. Come check it out, it's awesome!

Indeed it would be a great place to start. Since you are from that area, Max is a wealth of knowledge and can put you on the fast track.
Check with him to see what his availability is. He maybe willing to do a private lesson.

You aren't much of a
anymore. Again, great run at the area match!In order to do the Practice/Training days I need 8-10 shooters to Committ and SHOW UP. I put several hours into the design and setup of the stages I use at the training, if the shooters don't show I am out money to put everything into to play. This is more shooting and advice for about the same cost as a regular match with a lot of feed back. I only do this to help people out who want to improve their shooting skills. Thanks Max
For sure just about the best 25 dollars I have spent on shooting. The feedback I got from max was great the amount of confidence a day like this will give a new shooter is worth the 25 dollars in itself. Not only could I see mistakes and learn from them, but you could also try several options on the same stage and see the difference that being smooth makes to just running and shooting. It seemed like everytime I shot a stage it was slower but the times told a different story and so did the scores. To a new shooter the info you would get from this is priceless. As a new shooter myself I will tell you first hand to listen and ask a lot of questions.
