At Marion County Fish & Game tonight. I’m pretty pumped up about it, as tonight will make a bunch of firsts for me in terms of my involvement in the shooting sports.
- 1st time shooting an all steel match
- 1st time shooting a Glock in any kind of match
- 1st time entering in Open class in any match (side note: it’s sad that I’ll probably get stomped all over the place by production shooters even though my gun is all “rarararara I’m a racegun”)
- 1st time shooting a .40 S&W on any platform
- 1st time I’m shooting a gun in a match that I haven’t taken to the range prior to the match to get dialed in
I will be at Marion County Fish & Game around 5:30ish (depending on when I get out of the office), according to the website shooting starts at 6:15pm, and there is a shooter’s meeting at 6pm for new shooters on the rules and procedures.
Should be loads of fun!
A little light just went off in my head when I saw “Glock” and “steel match” that close to one another.
You sure they don’t have a “lead only” rule for these steel matches? My local range does.
No, their only ammo restriction is “no magnum loads” such as .357 or .44.
Can’t wait to hear the range report.
As a rule I shoot ANY new gun HORRIBLE the first time. There’s just so much information I’m gathering on that first range trip I often end up neglecting good trigger pull, or a consistant grip ect…
I have been dry firing this thing like a mofo.
Son,
Just remember it is not the gun. I recall your first purchase and comment about the cheap gun. I also recall firing 1 round the dispelled that notion.
