Actually I have an article on that very topic, upcoming next month in Dillon's Blue Press, titled "The Martial Gamesman". If you get the chance, you might check it out. Welcome to BrianEnos.com. Absolutely, just let me know where/when to look for it. On this topic, one of my big questions/concerns is how to shoot a barricade in from the left side while competing. Tactically, at least from what I have gathered from those in the industry, you want to pie those corners shooting left handed and with the left eye, keeping as small a profile as possible. This obviously takes more time, and is pretty confusing to boot. Target acquisition is especially difficult as everything is backward when it comes to sight picture, and don't even get me started on reloading left handed. I tried this in my last competition, and my times suffered. I like the idea of being able to shoot completely ambidextrous, but am tempted to give it up in search for better times. I wonder how many competitors think like this, as of now, I have not ran into any of them.

I had no idea Mensa had a shooting team!! Really though, I am simply dumbfounded by the wisdom found on this forum. This is some of, if not the most, cerebral discussion on any topic, let alone something as seemingly primitive as shooting. As I am new to the competitive shooting world, I am thankful I have found this forum, and honored to be in your presence. I am new to competitive shooting, 5 official competitions in (just local, nothing major), and have only been shooting handguns for about 6 months or so. I am trying to document my progress as much as I can, via youtube. Constructive criticism is welcome, just remember I am new, so go easy on me... http://www.youtube.com/user/tdo79 Right now, I am more tactically focused, than sport focused, so I hope there is room for me here. I figure the fundamentals are the same, and competition is a fun way to test those fundamentals, and gauge progress. I know I have a lot to figure out and improve on, but it seems as though I am in the right place to do so. Let the learning begin.

Posing this question on another forum is how I got directed here, (I guess it was over their head). I have been combing through the archives the last few days, and while I have gleaned a lot of great information, I still don't feel like I have the answer. It seems like there is a few different schools of thought discussed in each thread, which is probably why I don't feel like I have it yet. I am a new shooter, so I want to get this sorted out before I ingrain bad habits. I just ordered Brian's book, and will continue to search through the forums until I am satisfied. In the meantime, if anyone has the answer, or can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
