JoeMKY Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I shoot the same with or without people I know. If I depended on knowing someone at that match in the same squad. I would have never jumped into any shooting sport or go to new clubs to shoot their matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X5SigChris Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Yesterday I shot much better with a buddy of mine rather than squading with my local range heat and trying to chase them. Next weekend, I’m in the same boat at our normal local so it’ll be nice to see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDG710 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I guess that would depend on the way the friends behave. Supportive vs Overly Competitive. Bottom line the make-up of your crew should never interfere with having a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc68cal Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I have issues with anxiety when I shoot with friends. It's not their fault at all, I am just so anxious about keeping up with them and making sure they will still like me after a bad stage. It's very stupid but I have not been able to conquer it yet.

Lock-n-load Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I enjoy meeting new people. But may be a little more competitive with friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog02 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just talked about this with some buddies recently so well timed for me to see this post. It depends on the match for me. If it is locals - all buddies, all the time. I love spending time with them and we have a wonderful time and catch up and enjoy shooting. If it is big matches - I love my friends, but it is usually easier to focus with just 1 or 2 of the more serious ones that are taking the big match seriously than if the whole crew is there. If the whole crew is there - I will have a great time, but my score will suffer a little bit I am sure because I am not getting time to run the stage in my head/not getting my head in the game as well. Trade off though is that if the whole crew is there for a big match - that support system is right there to pull you up out if things go off the rails on a stage.

99mpower Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Shoot the same with or without friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iukamedic Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Seems to me that when I shoot alone if I’m not working on something in particular I get lost in regards to goals. When I shoot with others I’m more accountable. This is in regards to pistols. Rifle is a different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
