Using competition to sharpen skill

[Winx]

I’ve started entering local shooting matches to see if competition really helps with defensive or field skills. Does anyone else using competition as training?

I think it is a great idea, you can train fundamentals, analyze stages afterward and incorporate match-style drills weekly too

 

[Rida]

Good thinking, Winx! Competition really shows you where you need to improve fast. It keeps those self-defense skills sharp, you're doing it right

That's great...have you seen your accuracy or reaction time improve when you're competing under pressure?

Yep, competition is awesome training. It makes you speed up when stressed and deal with pressure, exactly what you want for defense or being out in the field. Start working on a draw and transition drill you can repeat. What division are you shooting in?
