I've been guilty of characterizing tactical shooters as wannabes and really that's not fair. Yeah there are bad apples in the tactical crowd just like there are bad apples in every group of shooters. They stand out in any group. I've had to temper my attitude toward tactical shooters after spending time with them at the range and having several of them working for me. Most are not bad guys. Just like most guys who prefer blued steel and walnut are not bad guys. A sure way to divide the shooter groups is to always characterize tactical shooters as wannabes. Most of them are good guys who like ARs and tactical shooting.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
