I concur. Especially about the newb coming in and explaining how AIWB is totally cool, seriously, don't worry about it :-P

I managed to make it through unscathed today despite the freezing conditions of my first match.
The match had 7 stages and called for 180 rounds IIRC.
Negatives:
1. Sub 30 degree weather and somewhere near 10 with the wind chill.
2. Had more clothes on than I would have liked in order to stay warm.
3. Had to wear gloves or risk not being able to move my hands at all.
4. Had a disastrous 2nd stage, because I lost track of the stage movement and 2 shots were just difficult given my height. I had 1 No Shoot, 2 Misses and 4 C's. I think my hit factor was 1.9 :(
5. The 5th stage I was cranking, but I couldn't slow down when I needed to and I ended up with 4 C's, 2 D's and 2 Misses. Hit factor was near 2.5 :mad:
Positives:
1. First match I had only 2 C's and a hit factor just over 3. From what someone told me, that was a decent balance of speed and accuracy. I'll take it for my first of 7 stages.
2. The 3rd stage I had all A's and had a hit factor just over 3.
3. In the end, since I was 1 of 2 new shooters in our group of 10 and 2 guys got DQ'd, I couldn't complain.
4. The rest of my stages were in the pocket for me. About a 3 in hit factor and I hung around 1-4 C's.
5. IIRC, I must have hit the A zones about 80% or higher.
I hope I can get a copy of the results. I have no clue if that's possible. See if my memory was close to my report.

If it was an official USPSA match the results should show up here when the club submits them.

Yup. Saw that and it's not up yet, nor previous matches this year from what I saw.
FYI, Old Bridge, NJ was the club I was at...

Thought it was local, but as the title suggests, I'm a newb. I had to be a USPSA member in order to enter the match :confused:

That is a first. I've never seen a USPSA club that required a USPSA membership to shoot a club level match.
Yeah, me neither. We recommend and encourage it but locals matches don't require it. If they did I would hope they would send scores to USPSA. That's part of what you are paying USPSA for.
OP, I would ask someone thats a regular at those matches what the deal is.

Thanks guys. Already emailed the match director. rsa-otc might know of this club and it's protocol. Maybe he'll chime in.

Depends on the club/range... We require it since I need to vet out that folks who are coming to matches have some experience...
