Competition of Firearms Explored: Its Benefits to Society
A Humbling Shooting Competition Experience
In June, a shooting competition was held at the author's club, and it was an eye-opening experience. The author, who served as a safety officer for the event, found himself competing with a Smith & Wesson Model 28 "Highway Patrolman" revolver.
The competition, as with many others, required the right gear, expert guidance, and dedicated practice for each skill. The author frequently mentions NRA instructors and other training resources in these pages, and this event was no exception. In fact, the participant who qualified after receiving instruction from the author was one of many who found the news of the competition humbling.
The National Rifle Association (NRA), originally established to train citizens in the safe and effective use of firearms, plays a significant role in firearms education and advocacy. It is, therefore, not surprising that the organization was frequently mentioned during the New York Times worthy competition.
Shooting skills, as the author emphasizes, need to be learned and reinforced with training. Learning to shoot the revolver, even with a modern red dot, required a lot of humbling practice, as with everyone. The author remembers walking away surprised, humbled, and hungry to learn and develop new skills.
The competition included a variety of events, such as rifle, handgun, shotgun competitions, fishing, canoeing, and campcraft skills. A new member in the competition failed for the third time to qualify with his handgun on a 50-yard bullseye target. Feeling humbled, he expressed that he couldn't do the competition as easily as he thought.
The author also provided guidance to a participant who was struggling with his shooting technique. Each participant, it seemed, commented on the humbling experience of learning new skills. The author still feels surprised, humbled, and hungry to learn and develop new skills after the competition. This revolver, despite being older, was able to compete effectively with more modern competition pistols at 50 yards.
It is clear that the shooting competition was a humbling experience for all involved, reinforcing the author's belief that shooting skills require practice and dedication. The author looks forward to the next competition, eager to learn and grow as a shooter.
