I would get out and shoot if you are interested. Most gun competitions are pretty friendly.

I second what Mic said. I'm pretty middle of the pack but I manage to have fun. The match is more about speed than accuracy ( a hit anywhere on a plate counts ). The plate rack is a bit different, the plates have to fall, so an edge hit might not do it. Last time I was there I saw 9, 40, 45 and 22 being used. You will need a holster for centerfire pistol, rimfire starts from low ready, so you can get by with a case or bag instead of a holster.

Are these matches still occurring?
The evening steel matches are on hold until the club figures out a way to get around the sun setting so early. There just is not enough time between when people can make it to the range after work and when it gets dark. That said, ALSPPC holds a full steel match every month at the ARC range, check the ARC web site calendar for dates and status ( Austin Rifle Club | Making Better Shooters). I'm optimistic that the evening matches will resume in the spring when there is a bit more daylight to work with, but I have not seen an official announcement.
