Sorry if this sounds like an outrageous question but this newbie needs to know. I'd like to do this USPSA thing and it sounds like Production class is the best starting point.
However, because of my poor eyesight, I need a red dot sight to shoot straight. (It's a long story: I'm near-sighted and wear glasses but when target shooting I don't wear glasses in order to see iron sights better -- but with a red dot sight I can wear my glasses and see both the sight and target like normal eyesights.)
The way I understand it, Open is the only class where you can have a red dot sight (am I wrong?). But OTOH, that's the class of the super shooters where newbies probably just get blown away.
If I shot Production, I wouldn't be able to shoot as good without a red dot. If I shot Open, I'd be at a disadvantage because I'd be in it just for the red dot, not to mention because of being a complete rookie?
Is this a common dilemma?
