Oh I get laughed at during FNS. I've got no problem with that. Rhino laughed at me lots of times, even calling me "Ginger".
I can take it
yes...yes... he does have this thing with gingers.

Ok, after reading this thread, I want to get involved in shooting sports. I've done FNS, and enjoy it. I want to keep going.
Where do I go from here?
I'm a new Shooter.
Oh, young ginger . . . you're about to take that step!
The gear that you already have will work fine for either USPSA or IDPA. You'll probably want to be able to carry four mags on your belt for USPSA, or two for IDPA. Your holster and gun will be fine.
You just need to be there when it's happening. You could start by going to a match, or you could ease your way into with our CP101 and/or some of our league shoots. The class will give you the fundamentals of how the sports work. The leagues are essentially practice and coaching conducted in the format of a match. If you do one of our league shoots, you'll find that they're substantially similar to a club match.
Yes. (ahem). You are aware that you have a standing invitation and that you're welcome to join me at any match I attend, correct? I've even got a place cleaned for a passenger in my truck now.
Ok I'm convinced. When is the next CP101 class? Cause I AM there. I think it would be good for me. And as I have a ton of questions, at least I can ask them in person. AND I rather enjoy being a nuisance to Rhino anyway
The main reason for this I believe is saftey. Running on Ice with a loaded gun! Not so safe.Note - most USPSA clubs are inactive Dec, Jan, and Feb.

Guess we could do some stand and shoots. Box A to Box B that sort of stuff. NO thanks
Well maybe a winter classifier match?

Ditto his question, except for the being a nuisance part...
Many good points here.
I think we need to make a concerted effort in 2011 to get some competitions covered by TV. We got a Terre Haute station to a WVPPS match this year. We do need more of that.
I want to find a way to recruit kids. There are plenty of kids out there who would like to try shooting and have parents who can afford to do it, but have no idea that shoot sports exists. TV is likely the key.
Does anybody out there know any open minded TV personalities here in Indiana? That might have the influence to get the larger Indiana matches covered or a couple local club matches?
I will do that. But we need to get Jake or somebody else in on this cause you dont want me doing the talking I ssssttttuuuuder to much. Someone that is very good at talking and speach giving. But I believe it could be a good thing for us. You diffinatly want somebody better looking. Id be good for radio.Thank you thank you very muchFairly good chance I could facalite this......hollar at me sometime to discuss....

I am not going to argue with you on the later part of your statement. The only problem is I recognise our lady shooters when I see them at the matches but I dont know any of their names. I am horrible with names. Im sorry I do know Mary Ann. But I have shot with her and Ron for the past 4 years. Thats why I can remember Mary Ann's name. And one of our new shooters. Any suggestions?I don't necessarily agree with this. You think fast, that's important.
I think you, Coach and Jake should start working now with our spokespeople.
We should pick them from our female shooters.
