Well said!
Watching competition video is fine.
Competition shooting doesnt translate well to real world combat js
Eric, man i love you been watching since moss pawn. But ive seen your shooting skills. Its nowhere near an A class uspsa competitor. You know a lot and are a great resource for knowledge but I have to disagree on your self assessment.
Head down to Southport, NC. There is nothing better than seeing the new MARSOC kids get absolutely humbled by a 15 year old girl in a techwear jersey.
This is a really long video to make that still just completely misses the point. No one on earth is better at shooting than competition shooters, full stop. Hard skills matter more than tactics, full stop.
Return fire. Drop to the ground. Observe. Retreat.
Checking in to see what PSA products are being shilled😂
Civillians always trailblaze military tactics and doctrine, but improved doctrine and tactics will not suit civillian sport. Same in hand to hand combatives, as a civillian, you always strive for safety for everyone. In military doctrine you strive for safety for you and yours, and total destruction for the other party.
Comparing competition with combat is like comparing Madden for Playstation to playing in the NFL. You take a professional football player and have them play against some kids at a tourny and that NFL player is going to lose, badly. This doesn't mean he sucks at football.
Getting a beer and burger is a skill i destroy at
Good video
I served 5 1/2 years in the infantry. I went to Korea for 1 year. Because of our treaty with n, korea i had to go through 2 weeks of m/p training to go on the dmz. While in the 82nd abn , i did trug interdiction missions in c/a . Once i was out of the army i joined a gun club . Prince of Wales island sportsman club. Pow gc runs idpa competition. I would do my best to win , but i used a 1911 10mm . I would use old magazines. The reason was to creat failures. Under stress of compilation i would be clearing jams and feed failures. In 5 years i never beat any men , but i always beat all the women. But i could clear my pistol on the run. Thats me training. What do you do?
“It’s the weeks inbetween” yup to real
You’re a grand master shooter? Dope dope dope.
Can you….
Walk 20 miles

While competition shooting sharpens accuracy and speed under pressure, combat training is crucial for real-world scenarios.
Go to comp to be better, not to beat others. Take professional training classes, then go to comp and work on what you learn. I took so much training, and comp tied it all together for me. Comp and training is fun but its not real, obviously.
I used to compete in service rifle competition. Never in combat and don't ever want to be. Also never thought they had much to do with one another except you shoot a gun.
love the whataburger cap, you need the oldschool coffee mug
There’s so many more skills you have to master as an infantryman than just shooting
I feel that you had something to say, that actually has nothing to do with competition shooting. Take care.
ABSOLUTE FACTS!
People who avoid competition because it’s just a game are dumb. Competing means you’re working on your skills, stress inoculation, and keeping sharp. Being a soldier is not for everyone, and being in combat doesn’t make you an expert shooter. Likewise being and expert shooter doesn’t mean you’ll be brave in combat. Combat is maybe 10% gun fighting. So many other essential skills.
But let me ask an honest question… would anyone want to fight a trained MMA fighter? They don’t fight to the death but have real skills. Don’t be ignorant
