Dear Fellow Marauders:
If you have never shot in an organized FT event, you owe it to yourself to go to one and enter the competition, don't go to see what it is like, just go and enter. Read up on the rules on the yellow forum, bring a friend with you that shoots and just do it. You will have a blast.
You will meet the nicest people, learn from some of the best shooters in the country, and walk away a better shooter, and have a blast doing it, I promise. It doesn't matter if you are a hunter, a paper puncher, or a back yard comando.
At first you may be a little intimidated, especially when you get there, put your gun in the rack, and realize that most of the people there spent more on their scopes than you did on your whole setup. But believe me, your gun right out of the box can be compediative with anything there.
No you will not win, but you will learn and have fun doing it, and will do better each time.
I think the modern american air rifle club was patterned after the old english "Gentlemans Gun Cubs" of the eighteenth century. But americans allow women (watch out guys, these gals can shoot), and kids with their fathers.
You will enjoy it, you will learn, and you will look forward to the next monthly meet.
