Competition shooting is a very popular activity among gun owners. The benefits are excellent, yet some people take a negative approach and think that some of what you learn competing will put you in danger. Is that true? Bob Mayne and Ben Branam of the Modern Handgunners discuss this and competition gear.

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.
