Does The Way You Enjoy Shooting a Gun Define Your Identity? on NOIR | Ep.10: " I'm Seeing Double"
About this video
Colion hosts a multi-stage shooting competition designed to showcase what he calls the ‘modern athletic shooter.’ In this episode, he explores the misconception that shooters must abandon their tactical or self-defense identity to embrace athletic shooting styles. Colion argues that shooters can maintain their existing skills while expanding their capabilities through dynamic, fast-paced shooting challenges that emphasize speed, movement, and versatility.
Key takeaways
- Colion emphasizes that shooters don’t need to give up their tactical or self-defense training to explore athletic shooting—he teaches that the two approaches can complement each other and make shooters more versatile
- According to Colion, athletic shooting introduces dynamic elements (backpedaling, sprinting, various firearms) that expand a shooter’s skill set beyond static range practice without diminishing their existing abilities
- Colion believes that fun, challenging shooting competitions can attract new people to the shooting community and help existing shooters discover new dimensions of their firearms beyond basic defensive training
