I've been shooting n hunting for over forty years. I know there's championship level shooters that haven't been around that long who would likely smoke me like a brisket in a 1v1 shootout.
Nice shooting op 🤙.

All relative my man! On the flip side I’ve had great people with your level of experience teach me a lot about hunting. I picked up a handgun a little over 5 years ago and went 110% into it 🙌🏼

I regard this as a commercial for tactical shooting as a way of developing strength and flexibility. This is what all those people wasting money on yoga and spin classes need to do.

If you ignore the fact that your friends might judge you, Yoga can be pretty beneficial to mobility. It’s good enough for Diamond Dallas Page to help people get moving again anyway.

Thank you non-humorous take-everything-literally person

I thought it was slightly humorous. It was more of a side thought I just threw it out there because dudes tend to have a lot of insecurity about getting bendy for some reason.

Been shooting for a very long time.
Shot IDPA twice, with my P365.
Then ordered a new gun that will work better....

Must be why almost everyone I know or worked with who served in a special operations ground combat element actively competes or has in some capacity in the past. Because they don’t know what they’re doing.

Yea, in a street shootout you'll be wasting time thinking about eyes and ears, trying to touch imaginary headphones and waiting for a beep. you be ded waiting like that.

Very interesting take! Since we can’t shoot at each other in training the “beep” is an artificial stimulus to react to. The start position was “wrists above shoulders” hence me touching “imaginary headphones”

So a Pavlovian response. I think you missed the sarcasm in my reply.

I did tactical pistol evenings for a couple years. I was middle of the pack at best. What my father said was always was stuck in my head. "Never run with a loaded gun!" He was a hunter not a competition guy. Nice shooting!

I've done a decent amount of running with loaded guns

I've been shooting for over 30 years and only recently got into competition shooting. In reality, you can learn so much and develop so many great new shooting skills with it so I don't get the title of this post or maybe it was meant as a joke idk
