Running my stock G19 Gen 5 with a Holosun 508t. The same gun with which I train, practice, carry, teach/coach. This was a 50/50 kind of day. I was happy with some components of my performance, but there were errors in stage planning and some other things. All in all, it was a good day from a learning perspective. Some solid takeaways to work on for me personally and my next match. You can not count on a skill set that has not been pressure tested.

This is just another tool to pressure test your skills for the real world. Yes, it's a game. A game that requires a high level of skill and on demand application. It reveals flaws in your perceived capabilities and puts you under a level of stress. Use this for what it is – a tool to enhance your capabilities. There are no cons. Ego, fear, and pride are killing your growth.

Your skill set must be accessible on demand and under stress, or it is not a skill set you own.
