Joined My First Competitive Shooting League!!!

This was just a very basic, unscored starting course for the orientation meeting. I've never shot in a competitive shooting league besides trap shooting many years ago. This should be very different. Let me know if any of you shoot in leagues and if you have any general suggestions and/or tips to give me. I scored 2 Alpha on every taget but the last "leaner" I scored a Charlie. I was also not going for speed on this run through cosidering I did not want to make an ass of myself my first day there I was definitely more concerned with safety that anything else. Also, the video doesn't show the 40+ guys staring at me up range. I guess the courses get more complex and I'm excited as all hell!!!

Sweet man good job! I've been thinking about doing some competitive trap shooting but I'm only hitting 25 out of 30 and guys in this area are shooting 30 out of 30.

Wow, that would actually be pretty damn good in my neck of the woods. We'd shoot 25 for a full round and a good day for me was anything over 20. I'd still be in the trophy hunt till the end though. Never had a perfect though, I don't know why. I'd be in the zone, shooting fucking awesome, shoot 20 in a row and then miss 4 out of the last 5. Don't know why. I think I start thinking way too much. Or I get bored.

Yeah, this shit should be really sweet. Since I was a kid I've always wanted to do like urban assult scenarios with pistol. I can't wait.

Well in this area there is only one real place because it's very dense and there are old timers and women that blast 30/30

I don't know how into the urban shooting league stuff you want to get but the "3 gun competitions" are pretty cool. there are a lot of different types of scenarios they come up with. This is just one expamle of a comp. in texas.

Very cool!

That's fucking sweet. That's not you is it Spartan? That shit looks like so much fun. This week we had a pretty sweet course. Nothing like that but it is the middle of winter in Minnesota and you can only do so much with 2, 10 lane indoor ranges. One of the courses was 7 targets from a seated position and the last target was shot from a standing position. All targets partially shielded by "no-shoots". It was fun. The other course had a lot more running.

Thanks for the vid. I've never seen anything like that before but I would love to do something like that someday. I'm sure I will be in some sort of shooting league until the day I die. I started with trap shoots and now I'm on to pistols. Who knows what the next phase will be?

No funk that's not me. I have a couple friends that are getting ready to join a league like that. I'm more of a pistol and long range rifle guy.
