I'm so excited that you want to shoot the Ironman. I would definitely say "go for it!" And don't be intimidated. I won't lie to you, it was a great challenge, but you just have to pace yourself and decide how much of the stage you have to finish, want to finish, and would like to finish. Reading the stage is honestly one of the biggest parts of shooting the match well. You have to say to yourself "Ok, how much do I KNOW I can accomplish on this stage?" Then set a goal a little above that so you're still advancing and challenging yourself. That's what I did, and I think the method worked fairly well. :) I hope that helps a bit, and I really hope you shoot the Ironman. It was a lot of fun, and definitely worth everything! Good Luck!! ~Sarah Lori, Thank you so much for your comment!

You are amazing. I'm a 51 y.o. female, shooting for three years locally, considering doing the Ironman next year. While I absolutely love shooting, I'm intimidated by the stages I see in the Ironman. I'm not getting any younger and probably won't live forever so I think I need to just go for it. Good luck with your future in shooting and wish me a little luck too!
