it would be a shame if you let this hurt your pride enough not to go to another USPSA match. I would strongly encourage you to keep coming. It really is a lot of fun, and you will get better. I don't need to tell you, but focusing on safety first for 1 or 2 matches will make a world of difference, and then you can start to speed up once you get a feel for things.
i've not been DQed, yet. And i, too, will be sorely disappointed in myself when it happens. The only difference is, I've had a chance to go to more than 1 match before it happens, so I know i'll be back. Give it another chance.
