In shooting sports firing the gun, whether in practice, class, or competition, is undeniably the most fun part, but when we take a step back we can see there is so much more to it than just pulling the trigger. That is especially true when we get into the self defense and personal safety portion of shooting sports. You may go to a class to learn to shoot better but it’s not the only topic that is taught.

It gets us out into a unique world where we can try new things, meet new people, learn life saving skills, and exercise our mind, body, and the primal part within us all.
