How to handle your eventual DQ from a match.
The first time I didn’t hang around. Mostly because I had one hell of a cold and I just didn’t feel well. The second I stuck around until the very end and even helped tear down.
And Caleb is right. The second time, I took a few minutes to cool off, then just shot the shit with other competitors, helped tape up targets, etc. And I got a lot of good advice and tips for my effort (plus the important life lesson of buying a full case resizer for .40). It’s worth sticking around for a while, even if it’s not close of business.

Shooting the shit is probably what got you DQ'd. You're supposed to shoot the targets
I'm pretty sure after your DQ that I tried to tell you that you'd shake it off.
My first DQ took place around 15 years after I first started shooting USPSA (fell moving through a muddy range the first year shooting in a new state) and was a bit of a shock to me.

I DQ'd my first shooter last week. Older guy who just couldn't keep his finger off the trigger when moving. I warned him the next time was it and he just couldn't stop himself.
Took it like a champ. Stayed and helped out and said he would be back at our next match.
He gain my respect.
