Hello all,
I am an avid gun user, as most of you obviously are. I am currently living in Orlando, FL getting my masters in audio and sound engineering and I live alone and I really do not do too much when not going to school. Back in South Carolina, my father and I were members of a shooting range that had multiple competitions but he and I never competed in them. We had some land and we would do "exhibition shooting." And by that I mean we launched sporting clays and would try to shoot them in the air. Pretty fun if you have not tried it. Obviously, living in the city of Orlando, I do not believe my apartment complex will take too kindly to me setting up a thrower in the parking lot and firing my handgun in the air.
I have decided to take up a hobby, competitive shooting. I am joining the local gun club, Orlando Gun Club, and they have shooting competitions (bowling pin shoots, low level light, etc) and this intrigues me. What I do not know is what all I need to be doing. The gun I have with me is my SD9VE and I have ordered the Apex Trigger kit to make the trigger better for accurate shooting. Is this a gun that I can use in these competitions? Am I required to draw the weapon from a holster before shooting? Really, I am completely in the dark here and have no idea what I would be getting myself into.
I would really appreciate any insight you guys to provide. Maybe suggest some other things to do and all that.
Thanks,
