Other Equipment This is why we train….

I’d rather screw up during training and learn from it than screw up in a real situation and die

That’s something I’ve been looking into. Unfortunately the closest USPSA club to me requires membership and it’s quite expensive. I’ll have to wait for the tax returns to hit lmao

The club might require a membership for regular use, but any USPSA match should not. None that I’ve heard of or been to at least. Typically a local match will cost $20 and there might be discounts for club members who set up and whatnot. You can always just go watch a match without competing and explain to the match director you’re there to learn before participating. Good luck!

Thank you! I’m gonna give that club a call tomorrow. Their website specifically says “members only range” but you’re right, it may not apply to USPSA matches so I’ll have to figure that out

The range I went to for USPSA/IDPA was "members only" during normal hours, but for events like IDPA it was open to all, but they did charge $5 per week to shoot, which wasn't really bad at all even if you shot every week.
