14. In order to push yourself into getting better with a firearm, you’re going to have to compete. I covered the disiplines but I have to go a little further.
In order for competition to work for you, it’s important to;
A. Leave your ego in the trashcan. Use the others for advice, counseling and tips. Your fellow competitors will be glad to help.
B. Compete only against yourself. Work to better yourself and don’t worry about winning. A trophy is a glorified dust collector.
C. If it’s not fun, you’re not doing it right.
Agreed! If you can find a club that offers it, be sure to check out (bowling) pin shooting. Believe it or not, it translates quite well into other sorts of competition AND it's a whole lot of fun!
