THREAD:

Kids, watch out for boomers of this sort.

Weekend range warriors who have deluded themselves into thinking they’re hardened gunfighters.

Guys who have convinced themselves that they’re on level with actual combat veterans.

They’re not. 1/ https://twitter.com/shootymcbeard/status/1276263335017791494
Training every weekend is great. Everyone who owns a firearm should train on a regular basis.

But never allow yourself to become deluded. Train hard and often. But remember there are people who did this for a living and have forgotten more about combat than you’ll ever know. 2/
I get asked why I dog this clown. Simple. I’m pointing out what he is: A Hobby Shooter.

He’s a weekend range bunny and to be honest, there’s nothing wrong with that. But when he regularly wades into areas he has ZERO experience in is where I have a problem.
To top it off, he routinely condescends people who criticize him or question his methods.

Why?

Does he actually consider himself a top tier shooter?

He must since he lashed out at some legit pipe hitters a couple months ago. 3/
I’m almost certain he has me muted. He’s only interacted once or twice with me directly.

Which is fine too, because that shows me what he is at his core. A coward.

He condescends people who he believes are below his skill level and runs from guys who probably are above it. 4/
I could be wrong. He very well could be a better shooter than myself or others.

I don’t know what he’s actually capable of.

I only know what I am capable of.

And, by virtue of that, I have nothing to worry about with this clown show.
So, he can lift the heavy things, break the bones, etc etc.

At the end of the day, he’s still just a hobby shooter who never had the balls to sign the dotted line & jump into combat. Combat that he believes he’s ready for now.

And I’ll continue to remind him of that fact.
