Show the good and the bad

Show your hits. Show your mistakes. Show the learning process. Nobody dropped from the womb knowing how to shoot well.

Social media isn't reality. Practice is work and learning. It's dry fire, it's mistakes, it's frustration. It's not being afraid of those mistakes or embarrassed by them. It's a learning process that will get you to a higher skill set and that can be passed on to help someone else reach their next level of proficiency.

If you're a newer or experienced shooter and struggling, DO NOT GIVE UP. The road to proficiency is not found on social media. It's in the work that nobody sees. The dry fire sessions in your bedroom. The focused personal days on the range.

Normally, 2R2 is not something I spend a lot of time with, but having lately put more work into my reloads from concealment during dry fire, I wanted to confirm live. Unless you're trying to conserve ammo 1R1 is not beneficial, in my opinion, because it allows you too much room to give mistakes in vision and grip a pass.
