This past weekend I shot a competition match and deliberately shot it defensively, rather than playing the game. You can do this, or play the game for the best score and omit some critical defensive shooting skills. However, learning to shoot fast and accurately, is vital in a self defense situation and you’ll get that in competition shooting.

This episode starts with discussion about the NSA surveillance and how it can lead to gun registration. Then, I discuss how everone is influenced by teachers in some way. Not just school teachers but mentors as well. I’ve learned a lot from shooting instructors and life coaches. So I put the two together and discuss how they have helped me.
