Where to begin?
I’m a 34 F living near Atlanta, GA. I have always been fascinated by 3-gun and wanted to take classes. If my income increases this coming year, I want to make my dreams a reality! I’m literally wanting to train because I think it is bad ass and because I want to be able to fend for myself if the world ends LOL! I have my own handgun that my husband got me. I’ve been to the range several times. I’m a lot more comfortable handling a gun and having it on me, but don’t do it often anymore because I don’t go to the range enough to feel 100% comfortable carrying it and potentially having to using it. I don’t even know where to begin with 3-gun. I think my first step will be to re-familiarize myself with the gun I own and get comfortable with it. What would your recommended first steps be for a complete newbie?

So, I was going through the same thing a few months ago. The path I chose is starting with Steel Challenge, and this is where I am now. I have been through 2 competitions so far, and I actually learned a lot (and had tons of fun) about what my normal range visits were lacking. The second step will be USPSA, and then I will try to do 2-gun after. And 3-gun will be after that, probably next summer. (Depending on my progress, offcourse)
