Thank you my friend. This msg was outstanding spiritual and extremely Meaning ful. VERY WELL SPOKEN. Coming from you and your level of Talent means everything thanks again
When I retired a couple of years ago, two things were on my bucket list for hobbies. One was to start handloading, which I have done. Jumped in with both feet. I didn't buy super expensive high quality equipment like I see behind you on your bench, but I definitely didn't go cheap either and over the last couple years years I've replaced some equipment with better more efficient reloading equipment. Been a great learning experience and I'm enjoying all the aspects of this learning curve. The second was to start competition shooting in the 22LR in the hunter class at my local range. So three months ago I bought a CZ America in 22WMR, bought several different types of ammo to what the rifle likes. But that's where it stopped. A couple of shoots have come and gone that I didn't sign up for because quite frankly I was worried about embarrassing myself, maybe not having the best rifle or high end scope. But after watching this video I'm looking at this with a whole new perspective. Thank you for this video.
Absolutely brother, I could not agree more. I shoot a lot of common things as far as calibers. And some very unpopular stuff as well. Truly do what makes you happy. And don't worry about the other guy. Help everyone you can, don't worry about what you can't do. And let God do the rest
I like competing in PRS because it helps me validate my proficiency in my practice when I go out and shoot long range (all by myself i dont have many fiends in my area into it). It's a pastime a hobby and a passion for me. Nothing more. Healthy competition is a good thing for me.
Our society puts extra value on being a winner. The best shots I have ever known were all older gentlemen that were mentors to me. They proved their skill sets in places like Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservior and Khe Sanh. Their skills were polished in life and death environments.
As a “prairie dogger” that has an almost exclusive fascination with prairie doggin’, this really rang true for me. Thank you for all of your insights, Greg.
To each his own ! Going to a competition still allows you to compete against yourself plus strike up friendships with like minded people. Yes you should never feel unworthy or have self esteem issues either but competition is not the cause. Whatever you decide do it for yourself
Although you and i have never met, my respect for you has gone straight up for putting this video out. There are tons of people who believe they are 2nd class or less because they are not competition shooter or because they are not at the level of a top-level competition shooter. I shoot for and against myself. Thank you, sir, for the best precision shooting video i have ever watched. A tip of my hat to you, sir
I thoroughly enjoyed this video because it’s something that isn’t talked about enough and I say that as someone who shoots a lot of competitions. At one point I was shooting 20+ matches a year and at first I had a child like fascination with all of it, trying to improve in any way possible and learn everything I could. But after a couple years I started to burn out because I had become more focused on match finishes than actually enjoying shooting. So I took a couple years off and learned that I still love competitions but I needed to shift my “why” from beating x, y or x to using matches to become a better shooter than I was yesterday.
Thank you for this video! Some very good points here! I’m coming into my second season of F- Class open competition at my local gun club. I never saw myself as competitive shooter ? I didn’t think it would interest me? But what is has done for me has given me the format I love, F open to challenge myself to do better , to get better. When I show up to a match I only care about bettering my own personal scores from the previous match & getting better at reading mirage & reading the wind & making correct wind calls. I enjoy the comradery with my fellow shooters. I would even like to continue to grow from mid range 600 yards to long range 1000 yards F open to continually challenge myself to get better & do better!
There was a time, thirty or forty years ago, when I enjoyed it. No longer. The gear-race, the infighting, etc. USPSA thinks that they are right and everyone else is wrong. The same can be said for IPSC, IDPA, PRS, ad nauseam. I'm 61, not 21. Do not have time for the nonsense. I shoot alone and sometimes with friends. Most people do not compete, and I can see why.
Thanks Greg. I had been pressing myself to get involved in local competitions but really wasn't feeling it. I'll take your recommendation with me back out to my range at home with a renewed purpose. Hope to get back out and see you soon.
Thanks Greg for these words. You show a lot of value for your subscribers, patrons, and clients in this one video right here alone. I can't help but think a lot of it is because you desire to be Christ-like and live a life for Jesus. God bless you and thank you again!
Excellent……I still compete at club level idpa to keep my handgun skill, gave up on uspsa due to the gear driven, tried rifle but man the custom rifle involved made me give it up as well.
I compete against myself. I usually kick my own ass well enough to not need help from others lol

The class of character in most of these well known shooters on you tube is astounding. Thank you for all the help you give us.

Bravo Our entire society should hear these words.

95% of my shooting is done at my home range by myself and I enjoy the hell out of it, and learn a lot. I have shot the majority of my life this way.
