As well rounded as a gun game master saying that he doesn't shoot behind cover/barricades because he isn't a "tactical timmy"?

If you used a shotgun, you'd have 9 simultaneous hits at .75 seconds, ripping flesh from bone.

The last time I shot I brought a bunch of discount fruit and produce just to watch it explode.

I shot really really fast


Jk I shot really slow

The only thing slower than a slow hit is a miss.


But those were good times. Competition/drills have a place but they train bad habits. The first reactive target I shot a bill drill on, it fell on the first shot but my OODA loop was used to paper and the rest went into the berm. Fortunately I learned on the range before I started shooting reactives with no berm.

Great gear that ships fast. They have top tier customer service. Never short on media content. Lucas is polarizing on social media but that’s how you get engagement and continue to grow. He comes off a little arrogant but he pays attention. Everyone has bashed him for being a skinny nerd and now he’s working out daily and pounding protein. People point out his faults and he has a response video or makes a change. Great CEO mindset.

His brother makes solid content that’s a little more low key.

Their family and organization stand for the way things used to and should be.

Lucas’s personality is something I can get past when you consider the company mission as a whole.

You may call your shots in competition but I certainly don't see it from the masses. Do you visualize terminal ballistics as you call your shots?  I didn't for the longest time.

Calling shots is part of shooting fundamentals. How can you make an accurate correction if you can't recall where your sights were when the shot went off.

Yep, shot calling is definitely a fundamental, right there with trigger press and alignment.

I would say much more important in self defense than competition as you definitely need to know exactly where your shots are going in self defense.

This all goes back to if Botkin is a "high level shooter". He shoots somewhere at the upper A/low M based on the match results I saw. That's pretty dang good I think, but the airgunners don't think that being good at practical handgun qualifies as a good shooter.
