Getting started with competitive shooting? (Patreon)

I get asked a lot by people who are inspired to start competition shooting by our content on how to get started.

Honestly, it's not the easiest question to answer besides just attend and be safe - but that's not necessarily the best answer.

It really slipped my mind, and thus this is short notice, but Glen and Russell (Sinistral Rifleman) have a class specifically designed to get beginners started or help newer shooters rapidly bump their skills and there's one this weekend on Sunday:

They plan to hold these classes at regular intervals, and I probably should get over there to film some of this at some point for an episode.   I won't be able to do that this weekend but I wanted to let you guys know about it, and if you're local enough to make it there Sunday, they have slots open.

FYI: This is not a sponsored ad, we're just friends and colleagues.

Seems like a good idea, and it'd be neat to have an episode about the class as well. I do wonder, though, if Square is aware of what they're selling, as Square falls squarely in the middle of anti-gun companies.

How do you practice for competitions? A lot of the shooting skills I see in your videos (run & gun, multiple targets, various distance steel targets) are things that no range I've been to would let me do.

While it's not really competitive, Appleseed is a great introduction to High Power style shooting. You'll learn proper positions, sling use, breathing, natural point of aim, etc. Not the most glamorous style of shooting, but everyone should learn it before they start sprinting around with ARs in 3-gun. Plus I enjoy the healthy dose of Revolutionary War history they throw in.

I'll 2nd Graham's post. I had 3 CMP Western Games under my belt b4 I attended my 1st Appleseed ['cause I found out about the RWVA at WG #3 held @ Camp Pendleton by one of the other competitors wearing their t-shirt] but the A-seed is about drumming the fundamentals into you in a pleasant [& safe; A'seed is BIG on safety, w/o being sh!tty about it...] atmosphere. The cost has risen dramatically over the last dozen years, but it's still $ well spent...
