How to Tell If You’re Ready for Competitive Shooting

By

You’ve been shooting your Block 2 M4 at the range for a while, and like to think you’re a pretty good shot. But are you really ready for a competition? Whether it’s a single-gun competition, like focusing on your pistol skills, or it’s more tactical, like a 3-gun competition, here are a few ways to know if you’re ready for competitive shooting.

9MM PCC

You’re Proficient in Most Tactical Drills

Practicing tactical drills with your 9MM PCC is essential. If you’ve been practicing drills that include plenty of movement and transitioning quickly from one target to the next, you’re ready. If not, it’s time to start running more drills. Go a step further by simulating a competition as closely as possible while training. Use a shot timer, and the exact targets the competition uses, so there aren’t any surprises on competition day.

Firearm Handling Is Second Nature to You

Handling your M4 carbine should be second nature. From using the controls on a given firearm to clearing a failure to fire, handling your firearms needs to be fast and rely on muscle memory. Every step should be seamless and smooth, from inserting a fresh mag to charging the bolt, flipping the safety, and lining up a shot.

You Are Equally Good with Different Firearms

You need to be proficient with different firearms if you want to win a 3-gun competition. You might already know shotguns from hunting, but what about handguns and rifles? You need to be proficient in all three to stand a chance. Even if you intend to compete in single-gun competitions, it doesn’t hurt to be familiar with various platforms and proficient in them all.

You’ve bought your Block 2 M4 , ammo, and spare mags, but how will you keep everything you need close by at the range? For many shooters, a chest rig is the answer. A chest rig can hold spare mags, tools, and other items, providing plenty of extra utility. As you shop around, here are a few things to consider. A Chest Placard That Fits The chest placard is one of the most important parts of any chest rig. It’s the panel of fabric that everything else attaches to. It’s usually made with MOLLE webbing or sewn-on pouches. When comparing options, choose a placard with enough space for your 9mm PCC mags and other pouches without weighing it down too much. It should sit around your sternum, allowing you to move around freely. Different Harness Types There are three major types of chest rigs: the H, X, and Y harness. The right one for you depends on your specific needs and comfort preferences. The H-harness forms an “H” shape with a connector between the shoulder straps. You need to...
