You should ask these questions all the time. You know the adage, you get out of it, what you put into it! That's very true when it comes to shooting. Whether for competition, hunting or personal protection, you have to put in the time. Watching videos and reading articles is good, but ultimately, you have to do it! The piece of advice I'm going to give you this month...Don't look at training as a gauge of your abilities, look at it as a stepping stone to perfection! 2026 Legislative Reports WRGC PISTOL RANGE P O K E R S H O O T SAVE THE DATE !!!
