I was one of several first timers, as the stages progressed, my times and accuracy improved. Got some great instruction from the group leader and even got some spare ammo from an out of towner who couldn't take it with him. Same guy, another M&P shooter, let me borrow a mag for one of the stages requiring (me) more than the 3 mags of 10 I had with me.
I'm using this as valuable 1) range time, 2) practice for many different self-defense scenario's (4 stages), 3) getting comfortable with drawing in a somewhat stressful but SAFE environment, and 4) Having LOTS OF FUN!!!
