I know that I never really wandered down to the competitive shooting forums here on NES until I stumbled upon this class at my club a couple years back and got hooked on the action shooting sports so I wanted to put a quick post in "General" for those who never venture down the forum list.....the club really doesn't make any dough on this class so hopefully I don't catch the ban-hammer for "spam" ![[shocked]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/007.gif "Shocked [shocked]")
Once a year Hopkinton Sportsmans does an Introduction to IPSC/USPSA class at the club. If you've ever thought about trying your hand at "action" pistol competition this class will teach you everything you need to know to be safe and confortable at your first match. It's a two day class on March 23-24 and covers all the range commands, procedures, safety rules, scoring, how to breakdown a stage, etc, and includes a simulated match on the second day that is run just like the real thing. oh, and lunch is included both days in the class fee (short money at $75).
Info on registration can be found HERE, or feel free to PM me with questions.
for those who don't follow the different disciplines USPSA is about "run, gun, and have fun"...you choose how you want to shoot a stage and do it as quickly as you can while still getting your hits (or that's the theory, I forget that last part sometimes). Here's a youtube of some of my (not very good) runs at last years big championship match at Harvard Sportsmans to give you an idea of what to expect....
If USPSA doesn't look like your thing other clubs do classes on IDPA, 3gun, service rifle, and probably everything else so do yourself a favor and check the Competition forums every now and then...it's a lot more fun than standing in one spot poking holes in the same piece of paper 50' away!
