    KSTG at NRA on New Year's Eve

    As of yesterday there are only five people signed up for the New Year's Eve match at the NRA.

    If the match doesn't come close to filling by close of business on Monday, it will be canceled.

    If you wish to sign up and haven't, you can call 703-267-1402 between now and Monday evening.

    Love to be there Todd, but I have other plans (that don't include traveling 1300 miles.)

    Someone else will just have to finish last place.

    I have plans on NYE, but if I didn't, I would consider going.

    Before I show up at one of these, I had some questions. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to competition. I'm competent with gun handling and shooting, and I've taken a few classes that went beyond punching holes in stationary paper, but most of my shooting is the usual non-tactical stuff at an indoor range. I do go about 2x or 3x a month, and I try to mix it up with some drills, including drawing, and I did shoot at a IPSC or IDPA competition a long time ago. Would these KSTG matches be good for me, or would I be way out of my league? If they are a good fit, they sound like something I would be interested in attending regularly since I don't live too far away.

    I'm checking, that might have to be me.

    I think you would be fine if you take your time and don't draw from concealment. You wouldn't be the first newbie so don't worry. Just tell the match personnel that this is your first match and BE SAFE.

    Thanks for the response. I have taken CCW classes where I drew many times from concealment, but will default to keeping it simple the first time the timer is running.

    Totally agree on safety being the number 1 (and number 2 and number 3...) priority. I would rather be laughed at because I'm slow rather than do something stupid. In my one and only competition, I finished DFL, but I finished ahead of the guy who was DQ'd because of a safety violation.

    I'll try to catch it next time.

    Concealment is required at KSTG matches. Just go slow and be safe until you're comfortable.

    I'd actually describe KSTG as one of - if not the - most accessible matches I've participated in. The match atmosphere is fairly low key as well. Since it is your first KSTG match, I'd ask the guys if they could put you last in the firing order so you could observe some others run through before taking your turn. As others have said, go slow and take your time.

    I'm in for 9:00PM, and I got my friend to sign up on that relay too (it'll be his first time at KSTG, but I'm sure he'll be OK)...and hopefully my other friends will sign up as well.
