Hey y’all,
I’m interested in getting into competitive shooting. I train often but limited by cash flow since college, so.
I want some suggestions on how to train for this since I don’t want to waste time or effort or money. Not that having fun shooting isn’t worth the price of 9mm.
Notes about myself - I can shoot groups, and I am familiar with firearms manipulation. Drawing, shooting, and malfunctions clearing are things I train.
Questions:
What drills would you recommend practicing?
What are things I should focus on?
Any gear worth the money that is a “must-have,” whether QOL of actually dictated by rules?
Where to get USPSA/other shooting organization - approved targets?
Thanks for the input, there’s plenty of experienced shooters here.
List of current gear -
Shadow Systems MR920 (stock) with Holosun 507k
2x 15 rd PMAG
2x 21 rd PMAG
OWB L1 drop leg holster
1x Kydex mag carrier (ambi/IWB/OWB)
I also have a P320 compact with plenty of 15 rounders but no optics mount.
My MR920 is my main carry gun, so compensators or trigger mods are a no-go for me. I am willing to look at competition-oriented firearms, though, if I can strike a deal or payment agreement.
