Think Safety First

Be Safe.

1) Get there early. You can help set up targets and get to know the folks running the match. That way they can match you up with an experienced shooter too.
2) Cold range so make sure your gun is empty. Your mags are full (10 round limit) but not in the gun until you get on the starting line.
3) Point muzzle down range at all times (except when in holster)
4) NO finger on the trigger until you engage your target.
5) Don't swing your gun beyond the 180 degree (90 each way from front).
6) Have FUN!
7) Bring lots of ammo and magazines fully loaded (load only 10 rounds)
8) Bring a snack and water
9) Wear comfortable but warm clothing, gloves and hat - wear in layers with good shoes (boots).

For your first time go SLOW and be safety minded. Everyone wants to go home after the match. Have a great time!
