I'd suggest just signing up for a local club shoot or something close. There are several ranges/matches that do PRS type stuff that isn't particularly/necessarily sanctioned by "PRS". I'd suggest finding something close, doesn't make such a big expense or trip. You will pick up a lot regarless if it's a weekend national match or just a club "fun" shoot.

How did you get started?
There was a club within 45 minutes of the house & I like to shoot so tried it out...

Make SURE you have good dope & know your rifle. After that; KNOW HOW TO GET STILL.

The competition. Gives a little rush & a day or two shooting rifles is never bad days... Plus as mentioned 95% of the people out there is good folk. They will help & most all have a good sense of humor. We have a fun time & have made several friends (even old time farts that used to shoot good, got old, & then started shooting even better
)

Better than expected. Don't be intimidated by guys with high end gear and flashy stuff. Some 'ol country boys that grew up hunting and shooting can hang in there pretty solid...
