Big thanks go out to Joe D aka jmnjoeyd1 and Steve. Not only did he give me a lift, but also showed me the ropes and gave lots of good advice. Outside of paper punching, this is the most interactive shooting I've done with pistol.
75 plates and 95 rounds later, I'm officially hooked. Was pretty happy with everything all things considered. The 229 didn't skip a beat between cheapo UMC and Blazer. After seeing a photo, I do need to work on my stance. My upper body is all sorts of improper.
The folks with the beeper thing were real friendly and took a lot of anxiety off once at the table. First time shooters must have this look in their face cause he had me pegged right away as a noob
Can't wait to do it again and get into some other events.
Edit: Is there a way to see our times? I was busy helping tear down and forgot all about it. Not that I did amazing, but for future reference.
