HHRP member here. I enjoy steel challenge myself.I usually shoot at atterbury, but am looking to join HHRP and possibly get into competition shooting.
I have taken a couple pistol courses, but was wondering which HHRP event would be the best, in terms of beginner friendly to start off with.

You don't have to shoot fast to have fun. Just be safe. We will help you through the event. We shoot nonstandard stages.
Not much needed equipment wise. Three mags are helpful but we'll help with reloading if you only have two. No need to draw from holster and don't allow new people to do so.
HHRP does shoot other disciplines. I think we only have two more contest left in the season. Round count is about 80 but bring more.
You can contact the club officers as well to find out more about what other contests might interest you.
Another vote for steel challenge. And you'll meet some really interesting people there. Even a few INGOers.
Thank you all so much!I’ve only been to one match at HHRP so far, but they were really welcoming. If you’re a handgunner, I’d also say start with Steel Challenge.
Do you all have Highpower matches there any more?HHRP member here. I enjoy steel challenge myself.

I do not know. The club "Resources" page has a member listed for that. Here is the page:Do you all have Highpower matches there any more?
Yeah, I know Kevin McDonald. Shot with him all those years ago.I do not know. The club "Resources" page has a member listed for that. Here is the page:

My checklist goes like this:Thank you all so much!
I will definitely try to make it to the steel challenge there if not the next one, the one after.
Is there any tips? What all do you recommend to bring that's not on the gear list?
Stay tuned on the upcoming dates.Thank you all so much!

My tip is to watch a match or two before planning to shoot. Bring eye and ear protection, along with gloves for setup/tear down. Arive early to help with setup and plan to leave with the last out the gate.Is there any tips? What all do you recommend to bring thats not on the gear list?
Stay tuned on the upcoming dates.
It appears we will be having a change of match director....
Would the Intro to USPSA (10/07) be a good match also? Unfortunately I don't think ill be able to make it to one of Monday night steel challenge matches.As a club officer, all of the above except the guy that said to show up and just watch. We're pretty laid back... take what you see on youtube for a given match and dial it back about 5 notches. LOL
As for HP, kevin hasn't had a chance to set any up. He's looking for someone to take over if you're interested. Actually a couple discipline MDs have voiced an interest in retiring from running matches. I know from experience it gets to be a lot.

Any special equipment for that match? Also, do you happen to know what the round count is.
Would be a great match. Keep an eye on the calendar of the website, the weather could go either way.USPSA uses the same safety rules as SCSA (Steel), but the stages and scoring are more complex. It would still be a good place to start.
For USPSA you’ll need a belt holster and at least 3 mags, whereas steel doesn’t need the holster and can get by with fewer mags. Round count at most matches is 80-150, but might be different at HHRP since it’s an “intro” event.
