I need to put one of my splatter burst targets at 300 yards. And see how i can do. 300 is our ranges longest.
You can see Splatterburst over 600 yards

Ok great, so my question is- how do those other groups look and how many rounds does it take to get settled in and printing ?Yes they are.

The target shown is very good and if it’s repeatable at 600 yards and only takes a few sighters to get going then perhaps get to an mid range event with a factory or tacticool class and see how you do against other shooters.
The guys that compete use all this crazy stuff.
You definitely need to go to a competition. No one there is going to care if you dont have the best equipment. Most everyone there is just trying to have a good time and will have no problem helping you get better. The guys there that are really competing for regional/national standings are not going to be worried being outshot by a guy showing up with an out of the box rifle shooting basically fancy M80 ball, so they will also have no problem helping you either.
In fact the guys running "non ideal" equipment tend to get the most cheers.
As posted, no one will make fun of you etc, and 90% of them will help you all they can, just sign up and do it. There's no replacement for "learning on the job", seriously, mistakes are the best way to learn.I want to get a bit more comfortable before I compete.
I was really bad at my first PRS match, timed out on 75% of the stages, plenty of low scores on stages, but I did clean one stage, and I had the time of my life, hadn't had that much fun shooting in a long time.

for Real! that’s GREAT grouping ! Some people are naturally good shootersThat looks like one of my groups at a hundred!
I bet you didn't finish last, and were walking pretty high the rest of the day too.
as ling as you didn’t get DQ-ed your a winner. Was at a USPSA match and a 1st time shooter doing really good, get DQ in the final stage. His face was if you pulled out his heart. breaking that 180 by doing a 360, felt sorry for the guy, he was a police officer and I guess training is differentNah, @Walkalong was formerly a high level, highly capable benchrester, so assuredly he didn’t finish last at his first PRS match (seems like he reported being ~mid pack?), but I’m betting he walked around for the next week with a clenched jaw and grit teeth recounting missed shots and timed out stages and planning how to avoid it ever again. Hooked all the same! Bliss is addictive, but if bliss is weed, frustration is heroine!
You would be correct.I bet you didn't finish last, and were walking pretty high the rest of the day too.
lol, yea, even while you're elated, you are working on what you did wrong to get better next time. I shared some of this in the PRS thread, what I did poorly, what I did well or better, what I needed to work on, and still do.but I’m betting he walked around for the next week with a clenched jaw and grit teeth recounting missed shots and timed out stages and planning how to avoid it ever again.
