I`ve been a soldier and a fireman. Been an endurance athlete for 50 years. Lived and travelled all over the place. But, I took up air pistol shooting and competing a few years ago and at the first tiny little nothing competition of the season my left knee was trembling. Trying without trying is the thing, I haven`t got there yet.

People who downplay competition is a training tool are missing the point. Of course the targets are not shooting back they're not shooting back on the Army's long-distance range either

I always say, “no, it’s not as stressful as when I was being shot at; but it’s the most stress while shooting I’ve found WITHOUT being shot at.” Always found that logic funny since we did do “run n gun” type events for training in the Infantry. “Sprint here, put this mg back together, shoot the target, evacuate this dummy casualty, shoot that pop-up with your rifle, fill the radio with the correct encryption code and call in a 9-line” type of stuff.

I am an archery competitor with the Barebow and all of this rings true. I do comps for the moment of truth when hunting. I want to have had to prepare for an event, perform under pressure in a competitive atmosphere and then make a perfect shot on an animal in the wild with my recurve. Loved it Mac!

My very first two gun comp I got onto a mock roof and made a rookie mistake and didn’t fully seat my mag. In front of thirty other men my mag loudly clattered down the mock roof and I could hear chuckles in the back. Whatever. I said “welp that sucks!” And drew another mag from my rig. For the first 8 comps I was dead last at distance shooting. I kept practicing and learning now Im consistently in the top 5. The advice Pat gives is spot on. Learn yourself, your equipment and guns in comp so god forbid you had to use them your issues are ironed out. A guy I know who is way more experienced than myself hadn’t tested his shit in about two years. When I took this friend to a competition he brought three rifles, out of the three only one would cycle. I talked shit and gave him a hard time but he got his stuff worked out. You don’t want to be in a gun fight only to not realize your rounds accumulated crap on them which made them stick and fail to cycle. Which was my friends issue. His rounds were a few years old and had a thin layer of crap on them

Having to perform under pressure under the eyes of the RSO and fellow competitors makes one a better gun and safer gun handler. One can go master all the lates drills and seemingly feel proficient but when there’s no stress….
