PDB and I argue a lot about playing games vs. training. If I had a dime for every time he called me a gamerfag (definition: someone who plays pistol games for the sake of playing, and winning, the game) I would be able to retire from this life of crime. With that in mind, here is today’s quote of the day:
“Most people who dismiss competition shooting use ‘tactics’ as an excuse for poor marksmanship.” -Sgt. Maj. Brian Searcy, U.S. Army Special Forces Operational Group Delta.
Check!
I don’t think I’ve ever totally dismissed competition as a training aid. I just question decisions made to enhance competition scores at the expense of real world usefulness or reliability.
I’m definitely not in the ZOMG IDPA WILL KILL UR AZZ camp, but I think that a person who shoots very well in IDPA but does not think critically about what he is teaching himself is doing himself a disservice.
Wait, that was too reasonable. What I meant to say was: Get the hell away from me with your faggotry carrying faggot gamer particles before my glocks start growing adjustable sights and compenstors!
See, that’s better. I’m trying to present a valid point in a joking manner, to continue our Titan’s Clash over gaming vs. training, and you had to be all reasonable. I won’t stand for it, pdb, not one bit.
I guess we could talk about something else, like how much appleseed sucks.
Oh yeah. AQT’s cause cancer.
