I love shooting sports as much as everyone on this forum. Maybe more.
I want to take this shooting hobby to a very serious level. I am mentally committed and ready for serious handgun training for USPSA type competitions. I am a 23 year old male living in Cleveland, OH. Some of the clubs are listed on the USPSA website but I'm reluctant to call them up and ask a bunch of questions.. Where do I begin? |

Find a match and just show up and ask away. You will find that most are helpful and welcome new shooters.

The sport is always looking for newcomers. If you're serious pick up these Stoeger's books: Skills and Drills: For the Practical Pistol Shooter Dry-Fire Training: For the Practical Pistol Shooter Practical Pistol: Fundamental Techniques and Competition Skills And dry fire dry fire dry fire. |

The local range shoot was pretty cool. It was far from my place and quick to end.
Attending streetboro steel challenge soon |

If you want to dip your toes in without buying a bunch of gear, guns, ammo, etc, try to find a bowling pin shoot local to you. If you enjoy that, keep going. I love bowling pin shoots

I love bowling pin shoots I'm knee deep in this sport; I got a speed belt, speed pouches, extra mags, etc. I found a bunch of USPSA matches, steel shoots, IDPA.. I really like USPSA and recently signed up for a membership. Thanks |
