All shooting practice is better than no shooting practice. But the first few times you attend a specific kind of event are new to you and you are coming up the learning curve and adapting. After that you are refining skills specific to that game rather than adapting or growing.
Therefore, my advice is to keep trying new things. The shooter who finishes in the top half of 10 different pistol competitions is likely better prepared for a self defense use of a pistol than the shooter who finishes in the top 10% of any single one.
But none of that is likely to matter much if your situational awareness is lagging. You win every gunfight you avoid, and you have a much better chance if you see it coming a few seconds earlier.
