I just wanted to thank the individuals who suggested I show up and compete for the first time. Although obviously I wasn't any competition for anyone I had fun and would like to participate again. I walked away yesterday with a feeling of "I sucked bad", but I can't imagine how else to get better except to show up and compete because at most ranges you can only just point and shoot at one target. Anyway thanks again for making me feel welcome and I hope to show up at more events before the season is totally over this year.
