Bullseye is still popular. They have a match at my club every month. Several members here shoot it, or have shot it. Many people started with Bullseye. But some people want to move on and develop other important skills in shooting.
Accuracy is a requirement in practical shooting sports like 3gun or USPSA. Accuracy is critical. And any decent shooter is going to be completely competent at shooting one handed, with BOTH left and right hands. It's a requirement to do well in any practical shooting sports. The only "hoser" sport I can think of where this is not critical is Cowboy Action Shooting.
Last 3gun match I shot we had pistol targets out to 50 yards, rifle targets out to 400 yards, and slug targets out at 100 yards. And, those after getting your heart rate up.
USPSA or 3gun, they have not moved any targets closer I can assure you, lol.
Plenty of respect for accuracy in the shooting sports. Its part of the scoring in all of them. It's a fundamental aspect of it. But, there is respect for the ALL other aspects of shooting as well. Which is absent in Bullseye.
A lot of assumptions about these sports are just incorrect, because people have never been to one.
I encourage everyone to try these shooting sports. There are matches of all levels all around the Carolinas. Some that are self defense based. Some that are more pure gamer based. Some for precision rifles. Some for carbines. Anything you could possibly want, including standing at a line and shooting one handed if that is how you prefer to shoot. It's all good. You can do you.
Often times we practical shooters come off as arrogant. But it's actually the opposite that is true: we've been humbled many times. All our scores are available to the public with our names next to it. No keyboard to hide behind. We've had our asses kicked many times and now know what is possible. When before we did not know. We've seen others come and be humbled. We've heard and seen all this before many times. We have been there ourselves! Not trying to poop on anybody, just trying to keep the record straight.
Anybody that has any desire to try a fun match, please don't hesitate to contact me and I will do whatever I can to help, as I have done for many members here. You'll find that competition shooting is fun as hell. People are helpful and want you to have fun. They want you to get better. You will be humbled by what you see and learn. It will expose your weaknesses, and puts dents in your ego, and you will be a much better shooter for it. Or, even just go watch some and get an idea of whats right for you. Spectators are always welcome and any questions will be happily answered.
