You are capable of participating in your first match right now (well, almost). While I don’t outright recommend you show up with never having touched your gun, it really isn’t something you need to build a skill level prior to enjoy. On the contrary, I think competition shooting is an excellent way for someone to reliably build their practical shooting abilities! This article is going to focus specifically on getting started with USPSA, as it is the most widely available league for entry level shooters to join.
Investigations have revealed that over 100 individuals have reported unintentional discharges of the P320, with at least 80 injuries documented. I’ve put together a comprehensive archive of what I feel are the most notable incidents.
Buying your first gun is like buying your first car. There isn’t a correct choice but there are plenty of bad choices to be made. It is going to be overwhelming when choosing your first firearm. However, it does become easier when you break it down based on the purpose of your purchase.
We are going into 2025 as an official USPSA & Multi-Gun Team locally. With additional interest and commitment to participation from non-local users, we may open the team up to those not in our area, given we travel quite a bit as it is!
Our first “actual” article, First Time Gun Buyer’s Guide, follows this one exactly 7 days from now! (April 8th). In the meantime you can give your suggestions on what you’d like to see us talk about or review! Take a quick tour of what we are already doing below.
Thrill of the Bill Drill is a USPSA Classifier stage commonly seen at Level 1 matches. It takes the traditional Bill Drill and adds modifiers for strings 2 & 3. There will be no penalty for using an OWB holster this month however anyone who shoots this drill from low ready due to range restrictions needs to add 1.3 seconds on to each string. Targets are placed 7 yards away from the firing line, 2 feet apart from each other. If shooting this indoors, make sure to use 3 fresh targets and continuously record.Â
4 strings of fire. Par time of 2.5 seconds for each stage. 1.3 second penalty if shooter performs String 1 from low ready, rather than drawing from a holster. If using an open rig (non-concealed, no active retention), .5 second penalty for String 1. A NR8 B8 can be used for printing restrictions however outside shots must be measured to score.

This drill was designed by Matt Pranka originally for handguns! We modified it for a rifle variant at the recommendation of Roof Korean from Firearms and Firearm Accessories.
The Rangemaster Baseline Assessment drill was devised by Tom Givens of Rangemaster. He made this to be a proper baseline, which means that we have it to compare our skill against.
Designed by Claude Werner (The Tactical Professor) the Werner 5×5 is a deceptively hard drill. It seems easy, but it requires consistency. I’d recommend that folks shoot it with their actual carry guns too, as you may have issues with smaller firearms.
