You might contact the club and see how they do it. May be assign you a guide or mentor for your first couple events or something. I know when I've tried a new shooting game I got lots of help early on. No one starts off as a master class shooter but with practice everyone gets better.

Search youtube. Tons of videos of all the top (past and present) competitive shooters. There is a lot of strategy involved.
Most all the local gun clubs have monthly matches. Go check one out and see how the really fast shooter's prep for a stage and how they actually shoot it.

I'm a speed steel guy myself, but have a few each of USPSA and IDPA under my belt. Never in any of those matches (over several years) have I not felt welcome and or not had folks give me tips or tricks to rules, stage planning, etc.

So get out there and good luck!
