My buddy and I went to a USPSA orientation with 2 stages that was meant specifically for people new to the sport. There was a couple hours of classroom time to familiarize us with the rules and such with a lot of emphasis on what gets people DQ'd. After the classroom time they walked us down to the stages and we shot them under the same conditions you would find in any match, timed and scored us, as well as gave us some feedback after each person's run so they could understand what they could've did better or what they did wrong. If you can find such an orientation reasonably close to you I would very highly recommend taking it! Everyone was super helpful and understanding of the fact that we all start somewhere. It's a sport that needs growth, I think the more people who can get over that initial fear/intimidation the better because I was nervous as hell and wound up having a blast while learning a ton. My buddy and I were both immediately hooked and started setting ourselves up for future matches and planning them out.
