First time nerves. Did my first shoot.

Shooting steel is typically more laid back than shooting USPSA. Shooting from a box is a good place to start. Use high capacity mags and change up between exercises before running out and losing precious seconds having to reload mid-stream. Find a group that is not totally anal and that is helpful. You can learn alot this way. Sign up early enough to get on their squad regularly. You will make great friends and your skills will definitely improve. Have fun!
 
First off, congratulation for giving it a try. Definitely stick with it if you can.
I have fallen off and need to get back into it.

What kind of shooting was it?

My club does practical pistol, usually with a round count of less than 20, and one required mag change.

It's enough to really humble you. Points deducted for misses of hitting the good guys.

Was yours something similar?

The one I did was a Halloween Zombie shoot. So basically it was dark and foggy. It was actually fun to do and made Sunday range day little bit different. It’s definitely worth looking into something that fits my 2nd shift schedule.

That's awesome. FIrst one I ever did was called stars and moons, and it was this time of year. Each target had a small star and a small moon, you were supposed to shoot one and not the other. It was years ago, and I was a new shooter. I was actually shooting a Hi Point.
I did terrible but it was awesome.

I would definitley try to stick with it if you can

I’m working on it. With my current schedule makes it a tad hard during the week. I don’t see to many for tge weekend, yet. It’ll give me some time to tweak the XD and play with it.

Find a range that rents firearms, shoot all of them until you get one you like.

Thats what I did. Went to a 45 ACP day, there were all kinds of handguns there.
I settled on the P220. Its like a 1911 only better.

I pretty much have what I want for now. The range or ranges don’t really have what I’d like to rent.

Also I’m trying to figure out how to add competition shooting into my schedule. The zombie shoot I did made me refocus on my shooting and want something that would help.

So did my bud for 3 gun comp. Its been 5 years and he has replaced all three once and his handgun 3 times.

I’ll admit I was thinking of getting competition handguns but I realized that some of what I have can be turned into it. I’ll just have a little upgrading to do over time and when I get better then upgrade.
