I shot mainly one discipline for many years and I'm considering trying another. Any smart comp shooter knows that new shooters are the future of his sport and will make them welcome. I can guarantee someone took an interest in them and helped them early on.
My best advice is to contact the match director to see what you need to bring, show up early and make sure you understand the rules and course of fire. Ask lots of questions and have fun! If you don't have all the equipment needed show up and watch and make a realistic list of items needed. Don't be surprised if a shooter offers to let you try out his equipment after the match.
I'm sure you'll hear PPC shooters talk trash about IDPA shooters, Bullseye shooters tease PPC shooters and High Power shooters make jokes about Benchrest shooters but it's all in good fun.
