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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. |

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. |
