When I compete, I purposely work
to remain tactically correct, even though it adds time on the clock.
Also, paintball is great for skills. It will definitely teach you to snap shoot, move fast, stay tight to cover, and shoot angles.

Having Priorities.
Match shooting is no place to learn how to shoot safety or to improve your shooting fundamentals. Under match or stress induced conditions, at best you can expect to shoot up to your current level of experience.
You shoot a lot of matches to improve your match shooting skills. Your fundamentals are developed into your shooting skill-set on the square range without inducement of tricks or secrets or shortcuts of any kind.
The key for SD shooting is to incorporate correct decision making combined with the execution of the apex of your entire shooting skill-set at any time.

It was fun. They had some really tough stages setup. I shot ok in some and really bad in others but NO DQ so as far as I am concerned it went well. Not sure if I will be at USI on the 14th yet or not, but there is a good chance I will be back at Richmond on the 21st. Here is the video from the match.

Those have to be the worst USPSA stages I have seen. I hope you get to find another club that can set good stages or you may get turned off. That first stage was like a 5 minute time. I suppose it may be fun to put steel at 50yrds and see who cant hit it but its not exactly USPSA.Comment

I can see how Richmond can be difficult for new shooters but they usually mix up the stages between hoser and uber difficult. It's a way to keep the vets challenged and not bored while exposing newbies to some of the more difficult shots they may encounter. If one wants something a bit more hoser friendly and still fun, then Chabot and Diablo are pretty good Bay Area clubs also."When you get the (men) to the range, you just get the men.

It wasn't that bad. That first stage really did suck though. It was modified from a rifle stage. Everyone I talked to there said a stage like that is rare so I am not really worried. I will be shooting at USI in Concord with Diablo Action Pistol this Sunday and I hope to be back at Richmond on the 21st.Comment

Is Diablo sanctioned by USPSA?Comment

No the setup sucked and looks like trash all over they just made into props. I am very thankful of our local match the more I see stuff like this.Comment

Apparently you disagree with Post #34. And you find the skill level needed to do well at the match to be a bit too high. Any connection here?Those have to be the worst USPSA stages I have seen.
In partial answer to the OP, if he would like to do well in any USPSA type Match, then learning how to shoot should be a priority before shooting matches.Last edited by hambam105; 04-11-2013, 10:25 PM.Comment

No they are not. You must be a member of a host club if the range in order to shoot there. USPSA says as long as you are a member you can shoot anywhere. There are some that are trying to change to ranges rule but it is a slow process.
I joined a host club for $15 a year. It is close to home for me so worth the money.Comment

So you wouldn't have any trouble smoking stages like these? This is a real USPSA sanctioned match, not a 'USPSA like' match.
