Competition Gear
It’s Not All Play, But It Can Be All Fun!
Back when Mickey Fowler was tearin’ up handgunning records and hauling championships home in a wheelbarrow, he had just blasted out another win when some hair sprayed, non-shooting talking head poked a microphone in front of him and asked, “So, Mister Fowler, why do you compete?” Mickey’s smile turned to perplexed puzzlement. He peered at the guy for a long moment and started to say something. Then Mickey slowly shook his head, sighed and walked away. A grizzled ol’ gunner collared the clueless correspondent.
“I think what Mickey means is,” he explained, “If you don’t know, I can’t tell ya.” When you compete, sure, you shoot to win, but you don’t have to take home the gold to be a winner. In so many ways, showing up is winning; taking part is the reward; improvement is your prize, and beating your own “best” is a championship. Here are some cool tools to help you get there.

I would also like to know who makes that gun.
Thanks!
