Guns

Many people at the competition will be testing their skills with all types of firearms. There may be specific courses created for small handguns, long rifles and shotguns. Each one will present a certain set of challenges for the competitor. Your skills in how you move, reload, and shoot will all be put to the test. Scores will be tallied, including time and mistake deductions, to determine the winner.

Accessories

Certain equipment can help you during the competition that will make your score better. Having extra magazines and speedloaders will make reloading faster. Different carrying options, such as Glock 43 holsters, can make movement throughout the course easier. Upgraded sights and grips can give better accuracy and cut down on time spent in the course. Many other options can be used to help you obtain better scores.

Targets

Some courses can test not only your shooting abilities but your target accuracy as well. You might be timed to see how fast you can hit all the targets. Each target could have different point scores on them. Some will be positioned in hard angles, at awkward sightlines and in busy areas. You will need to have an awareness of where the high score ones are and the best place for where your shot should be.

Competition shooting offers a way to be competitive while enjoying the hobby of shooting. The comradery it brings and the friends you meet can be just as important as the scores you get.

The offer is so tempting that I would like to try some of the products including the sports bra, activity trackers, and perhaps a new pair of rubber shoes. A different newsletter carries musical instruments including presonus firebox. This probably got the interest of music enthusiast. I, on the other hand is curious about the fitness and health stuff. I’m planning to start a physical activity program this year to get back into shape after my surgery last year. I would most likely start with walking.
