Keep trying to secure a co-signer,as you try to figure out a Kchunt that Don't Shoot turret. Hint.

Don't forget that Imitation is THE most Sincere form of Flattery. HINT.

You keep doing you little buddy. Ever since your "I'm a liberal" meltdown in the general forum, and you posting your income (travel nurse pay ain't nothing to sneeze at, congrats) I get a big chuckle out of you.

I think the pressure he is talking about goes beyond the psychological motivation to practice, and refers more to the adrenaline-packed “fight or flight” response that comes with time pressure, an audience, and competition. IME, it’s very real, and closely approximates the moment-of-truth feeling of finally finding the game animal that you’ve been looking for, and having to make the shot in limited time.

That is exactly the pressure he is referring to, and I am sure for a lot of people that external pressure does help them improve in many, many ways and for many reasons.

It just isn’t for me though. I highly suspect I’d get bored and unmotivated if in a competitive match, and just wouldn’t care. All I’d want to do is leave and go do something more enjoyable, without a lot of people watching.

C'mon man! He shoots virtual on ballistic calculators, competing against himself. Old miserable Johnny one note. Yep, it's a big shtick, for sure.

Gotcha, Ted. Different strokes for different folks. It’s just another form of training/practice.

Correct.

Most who compete and don’t even win are better and have more balls than those who don’t attend

Maybe, but then again I'd bet there are a lot of great hunters who consider competition a waste of time, regardless of size of cahones'.
Precisely my thoughts. Why on earth would I waste time at a competition when I could actually be hunting.

Can't hunt 365, except for varmints, and many aren't interested in blowing away tiny animals.
I can. Hogs. It’s interesting, I love 3D archery competitions, but have zero interest in firearm shooting competitions. Frankly, I find many gun enthusiasts frightening. Around me they aren’t in it to practice for hunting, most don’t hunt at all. They want to imagine they’re Rambo. No thanks.

And then, there is the addiction to winning. It is real, one top gun was asked if he enjoyed shooting, he replied no, I like winning.

I competed because it let me shoot more with a purpose. Competitions weren't super stressful for me in the sense I felt a failure when I didn't win. I just liked figuring things out on a stand or something. A chance to see new targets in different ways. To me, as in most of life, the process of learning is more fun than having the knowledge. If that makes sense.

Figuring out how to smoke a specific presentation was more fun than smoking it 10/10. Process > result. Others may vary but that was for me.

Sure you can if you have access and know where to go. Varmints/hogs/etc still count....it's still hunting which beats the crap out of punching paper and steel any day of the week.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Shooting 1000 clay birds or 100 rounds at long range steel in various conditions on a weekend makes shooting live birds or that once-in-a-hunt shot at big game seem easy

My hunting game is plenty good enough without any help from competition shooting.....

Different people get motivated differently.

You competed back in the day Ted.. The old KD course which I am sure you have completed a few times. While not a "match" it was scored and under time.

While we weren't trying to win, I'd think most fellas on the line were trying to clean the course of fire, and I'd be lying if we weren't trying to beat our buddies or at least win a beer bet. whistle

The various shooting courses and especially qual ranges did cross my mind when responding earlier no doubt, and your argument absolutely does have logic. I was most certainly trying to clean the course but the only external pressure to do so was to keep my command off my back. Having others around watching and possibly judging me just didn’t motivate me at all. I am not sure if I am explaining this very well but I just didn’t feel the same way about external pressure and improvement under that pressure as some seem to.

It wasn’t tough to score expert on the qual range, but a pizza box wouldn’t have bothered me, truth be told. I can also honestly say we never made any bets on the range, that I remember anyhow. There was no need to make beer bets when cases were waiting for us back in the barracks. It is just how I am wired, I guess.

I am probably more in your camp with competitions and stuff like that, I was just bringing up that we have shot in that sorta forum in past. I love to shoot and shoot all kinds of stuff, but I am just as happy on the range by myself and have shot a few different disciplines while in the Marines while we were pitted against other fellow teammates to understand the "stress of timed, fast, and accurate" fire.

I will say the KD course of fire was always pretty low stress compared to other ranges we conducted.

Much like a good Dove field is more shooting than actually hunting.

I just reacted to the external pressure differently.
