Are Shooting Competitions Making You Worse at Real-World Gunfighting?

In this episode of The Hidesite Podcast, we dig into the mission creep happening in the world of shooting competitions — how sport shooting is drifting away from real-world application, and why that matters for preppers, armed citizens, and the modern minuteman. We explore how gear obsession, unrealistic stages, and performance-focused culture are shifting the mindset from practical marksmanship to Instagram-ready shooting. If you’re training for more than trophies, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Music by @Avery_Alexander Music By @karl Casey @WhiteBatAudio #ShootingCompetition #2A #TacticalTraining #GunCulture #PracticalShooting #RealWorldTraining #TheHidesitePodcast #PrepperMindset #ModernMinuteman
