    When I get tired of what I'm doing, I switch up guns. Open to Limited to Production to IDPA CDP, to IDPA SSR to SSP and lately I've been shooting long range rimfire.
    It's good to be one of the nutjobs though. They/you are the nucleus of the sport that keeps it all running - the nutjobs probably make up the bulk of the SO/RO and range staff that we need in order to keep having matches.

    I don't know if I qualify as a nutjob or not. I started in 2008, went hard in the paint until 2014, then I took 4 years off from any kind of serious competition, just shooting the occasional club match here and there. I finally went back to majors in 2018 and 2019 to see if the love was still there, and it turns out it was.

    I stood at the 5 yard line and fired 50 rounds at a B27. Good day training.

    IDPA Marksman, that's like the equivalent of a SEAL 6 point man.

    I'm a gunfighter now. Used my Judge to (accidentally) shoot a meth head (in the foot) that was breaking into my car after dark in Texas. Me and my assistant (Instagram Thot) will be teaching a gunfighting class next week.

    I was in the Army (ROTC) running and gunning in the sandbox (Airsoft at Fort Bliss). I have a sweet beard and tatts. Yesterday was your last easy day maggot, now let's get your CCW qualification started.



    Gonna have to go ahead and crown you winner of the internet this week
    The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

    Humbly improving with CZ's.
