[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2865676, member: 5412"] In reality, your not going to win, nor even come close to it as you first start. Make a mental note of your times to draw, figure out a stage, assess your mistakes, and then look at yourself a year later after doing this for awhile. You will be totally amazed at how well you can run your gun, clear malfunctions under pressure, (timer pressure), and make your times fall by half or better. Its a game. Go out with the attitude your there to enjoy the game. Don't try to shoot fast at first. Take the time you need to shoot accurate. I've seen some guys fast on the trigger that get beat by a slower guy that is accurate. With experience, your speed will increase. LISTEN to the fast guys as they discuss how they will shoot the stage. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and as a new shooter you will be put at the bottom of the shooting order so you have plenty of time to watch those in front of you shoot the stage. If your not put there, ask to be. Nobody will object. We were all new shooters at one time. [/QUOTE]
