as the title implies i have not ever shot or watched a competitive match in person. mostly all i know is what is posted to youtube or other social media, but it looks very interesting to me and i want to get involved. so my question is to the guys with lots of experience. 1. how do i find out what kind of competitions can be found here in louisina 2. as a beginner and in your opinion what sort of competition would be best to start. (i wont say im the best with any sort of firearm but i own all kinds concealed carry guns, service type handguns, 1911, .22 rifles, long range rifle types also) i know this is a broad question but any sort of guidance would be appreciated.
