Not very long ago the topic of Competition was a heated one.
GUNS Magazine answered it very well.
“Why do Defensive Handgun Owners Compete? For the same reason Professional Fighters spar.”

Competing is a good reality check and can show you where you really stand. Many people talk a big game but what they can actually do is completely different.
Yeah, not sure if I’m ready to eat a small amount of crow. I still think “I’m serious” but regardless, I’m going to start doing some plate shoots at my LSR. It’s every other Tuesday. Only $20.
Looking forward to it!
And Thanks George. Regardless of how you put it, competing is only going to help me. And it looks like fun too. 🙂
Competing
-is fun
-introduces shooters to shooting/functioning under a mild amount of stress
-helps build dynamic shooting skills
-builds experience with gun handling in a safe, supervised way where any unsafe practices will be id’d and corrected by an SO
-is much less expensive per day than training classes
Competition shouldn’t be a replacement for training, it’s just a very cost-effective and fun adjunct to training.
