I was told the same thing elsewhere too, just sign up and start, who cares.  My excuse is I haven't even had my shotgun out in probably two years or so, not so worried about the AR or pistol side, but I want to run a couple of boxes through the shotgun at my range before I try it out.  I will most likely sign up for next month's and just get some practice in this year with it...I'm pretty sure I'm going to get addicted since I found a place close by that hosts events every month.  I have a feeling this is going to end up costing me more money than just being into guns in general though...but hey.

We'll see, maybe I'll try to run to the range tomorrow morning with the shotgun, then sign up for the Sunday match still.
