On our way to USPSA Race Gun Nationals!
This will be my first Race Gun Nationals, and I’m excited to see what happens when the work meets the match.
One of my goals this year was to shoot 10 major matches. Not because I expected to magically become a better shooter just by showing up, but because I wanted more exposure to bigger stages, tougher competition, match pressure, and all the little things you can only learn by putting yourself in that environment over and over again.
I’m a coach and instructor, but I’m also—and always will be—a student. The more I learn, the more I realize how much there is left to learn. Every match, every stage, every mistake, every win, and every person I train with gives me something I can take back to the range and work on.
This year has been about continuing to build my fundamentals, expanding my understanding of competitive shooting, getting comfortable being uncomfortable, and testing what I’ve been working on when it actually counts.
And I seriously couldn’t ask for a better group of people to do it with. We train together, compete together, support each other, give each other hell, laugh WAY too much, and somehow manage to be completely ridiculous while still pushing each other to get better.
The shooting is important—but the people you get to share the journey with make it that much better.
Race Gun Nationals… here we come!
Time to learn some things, shoot some stages, make some memories, and probably make some questionable decisions along the way.
