This Is What Happens When You Train With Competition Shooters
Competition Shooting Practice Michelle Viscusi

People always ask me if I participate in competition shooting. I'm never really sure how to answer that question because I have done it before, but it was a long time ago.
Then, while we were out filming at the Staccato range, Peter asked me the same question. I thought maybe I should at least participate in one competition.
Fortunately, there were some competition shooters practicing a few bays over, so I decided to join their session to see if this was something I wanted to do.

#ThePewPewLife #ColionNoir #PewPewLife
I’m a teenager coming from a liberal family, and I’m super disappointed that I’ve never gotten the opportunity to participate in something as fun as shooting. Colion’s videos have made me want to eventually get into competitive shooting, and every day I watch some kind of gun content that only deepens my love for firearms. Go staccato!!
Libtards really damage their children so badly.
Gotta try then 😁🤷
Liberal has nothing to do with it.....2A is for everyone....
There's no group more welcoming, so just go to a range as soon as you're able and make some new friends. 95% of gun enthusiasts won't make fun of you for making mistakes, and the 5% are generally people you wouldn't want to know anyway.
Don't you have any conservative grandparents or uncles?
Young men, pay attention: he's still humble enough to ask questions and learn.
Yeah but the whole self-deprecating gimmick is cringe
Great way to learn.
Yeah, but it’s not young men. There’s a reason they say old dogs cant learn new tricks.
I think we all never stop learning until 6 feet under😉
@@tonymedrano986 what. That’s a phrase that means older people tend to be less willing to change their ways in life, not that they lack the ability to.
I love Michelle’s attitude and her competitiveness
Michelle's around the world drill was awesome, super quick and accurate.
Also the “she” was awesome !
This dude in the blue shirt seems like a great instructor.
Yea, did you notice his off hand was just as precise in movement... That is hard to train your body that way. Only thing that bugged me was using the pistol butt as a hand rest. I wasn't trained that way, that's an aggressive posture. You see me do that, you're about to be engaged. So immediately I'd be on high alert with a stranger. No bueno on an open range. Still he'll teach you how to hit fo'sho
@@ScrappyXGC agreed i noticed that too it kind of threw me off
@@ScrappyXGC i get your perspective 100% but between cowboy movies and every cop ive ever seen(referring to the chill ones here) it just seems natural with the right demeanour Kinda like holding the straps to a back back or the top of the plate on a carrier youre wearing
@@Eco19 I teach put your thumbs in your pockets or at the front of your belt. Also never cross your arms. If you go akimbo it appears aggressive. Around here no officers have outer worn vests, so where your thumbs go is just an easier regimen.
@@ScrappyXGC again, thats fair, i understand it completely, but at the end of the day its not the only read right? Ive seen people in much more “welcoming” demeanours that ended up acting out violently So if its just hand placement without dozens and dozens of other factors accounted for than that falls onto the observer in my opinion BUT i know how i am but thats me, everyone’s different so do what you feel is safest for your personal wellbeing
Watching Colion progress over the last year or two has been awesome. We definitely need more uploads like this here.
Colion, you are THE MAN in several different ways. Thank you for your advocacy and the information that you also share.
Props to you for going out and trying something new and not being afraid to fail. Looking forward to your new videos. Thank you!
That was cool! Two of my group of favorite shooters/guntoobers in the same video. Awesome video by Colion, including Tony, Brooke and of course, Michelle!
Watching you run a course with Michelle, Brooke, and Tim was amazing. Now I want to watch all 4 of you do it with a 1911, iron sights, with a combat reload. Just for fun.
I second that
I third it
I think that'd be a great video.
4th!
Iron sights is the real deal.
Great to see Brooke here. Been following her with Crossfit for some time, and she's the real deal. Didn't know she was into shooting, but am impressed yet again.
Yeah that’s crazy.
Ahh crossfit, that explains the arms lol
@@bluegrass4840 right? my first thought was holy shit that woman is ripped
Girl's got some guns!!!
"Ahh crossfit, that explains the arms " That, and the test ...
What I really enjoy about this channel is the diversity of content. You cover fun ones like this and a real world perspective to serious problems. I appreciate what you do with this channel.
Saw Brooke shoot and first thing that came to mind was Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 ha ha. Excellent episode
Always good to train with people from all areas of the culture
I think you should definitely look into it. Looks like you had a good time, it’s different, new learning experience, and furthering your love and passion in what you do. We may not be there physically but we support you and what you do. As always, great content. Keep it going, keep it coming.
Great video. Even if you don't do competitions. It is always fun getting out and learning something new. I definitely think this sort of training would come in handy for home defense. That is definitely one nice pistol. I always love seeing the different firearms that you have picked up.
What a genuinely spontaneous practice session. Also, don’t be afraid of embarrassing yourself. You shoot well enough already that you’ll probably do just fine. I was way nervous at my first comp, but I definitely want to participate in more of them and improve!
When you've been doing CrossFit for a decade and also love guns and two of your favorite people end up crossing paths. Love Brooke, what a badass.
I was trying to figure out if is she was *that* Brooke Ence. Thanks
@@writingonthewalls9052 Yeah, kinda weird that she didn't feature more prominently. I've met her a few times, she's awesome. Had no idea she was training with Staccato.
@@mattsmule I had no idea she was training period 😂
Lol sticatto couldn’t give two shits about that needle dropping slime ball
@@reedsaenz1599 nobody asked
I shoot competition, not to win or place, but to learn how to improve from the other competitors. Don't worry about how well you shoot, just go to the competition and have FUN!
Exactly. The idea is to get better no matter what level you are and enjoy it.
That's easy to say if you're not from a competitive family. Growing up it was kill or be killed. Hard to break old habits.
Fun video, folks in the gun community are so helpful. Thanks for taking us along.
Can we talk about how hot Michelle is?
"He asked me a question I actually get asked from a lot of people which is...'Do you ever actually practice law?'" JK. I couldn't resist. Thanks for what you’re doing.
Law? You mean like logistics of ammunition to wanting? Yeah! He does that all the time, he wants ammunition and he need to make sure it’s in stock before he buys 😂
@@youtubesucks3811 you're a witty bastard aren't ya?
Once a doctor always a Dr, even if you don't practice.
@seang1032 wrong. Doctors, like lawyers, tax accountants etc. If they don't keep up with the learning forever they eventually lose their qualifications as they get caught out as shit at their job, which can lead to negligence, fraud and malpractice suits against them and jail time.
@@DixonsCider drinks liberal tear* oh really? How about a constitutional lawyer?
Great video! Such a positive environment for learning. Your shooting circle is the type that will only bring out the best in everyone!
That was impressive. You’re shooting is always fast and very precise. I wish I could do what you do and as often. Keep spreading the word. 👊🏻
I've been a fan for some time, It's always cool to see you just out shooting having a good time! That's a beautiful weapon, sir!!
Ya killing me , Smalls 😂
Man this brings back a ton of memories. I loved competition shooting. 2 decades ago when I was shooting regularly the cost of ammo was so much cheaper. It’s a shame how much the cost increased.
You are a great content provider. Don’t get cocky or overboard. Love what you do.
Yoo, Brooke is freakin' stacked!!! Also, I need an instructor like that guy. He seems patient yet very clear with instructions and no BS. Edit: there's definitely some chemistry between Michelle and Colion
She’s a CrossFit monster. I didn’t know she shot like that, even cooler
What a GR8 vid Colin! I like it that as an “instructor,” you are never afraid of being “instructed!” Smooth my man, very smooth! Also ~ GR8 shooting!
So Brooke is actually one of the Amazon women in the Wonder Woman movie AND a shooting enthusiast. How freakin cool is that?!
And don’t forget a world class CrossFit athlete!
@@TheJavaFrog lol 'crossfit athlete'
She's JAKKED!!!
05:31 First thing I thought when she took aim was, "wholly shit! Look at the arms on that chick!"
@@radioflyer985 juicy!
It's all about efficiency of movement. Like Michelle said, the speed of shots isn't the focus, it's the movement between the shots is where all the time is either gained or lost. That's especially important in PRS. Quickly moving from one position to the next, building a solid position, get on target THEN slow down on your shots. Two words, dry fire. Speed will come but you definitely have to work at it. Any sport can be extremely humbling but it's very rewarding. The shooting community is filled with fantastic people always willing to help "new" shooters out.
Man you have to do it. I'm 65 years old and I'm going to shoot a USPSA match for the first time in April. I can't be more excited. For me just going out and doing it, hanging with cool people is just fun. Realistically I'm not hoping to become a grandmaster but just maybe I will bust the A zone a couple times. Keep up the great content.
As a new shooter, new to the world of firearms in general and now carrying daily, this is the next level of training I'm looking into, practical application/training. At first blush, this is mildly intimidating with my "basic" shadow systems MR920 carry pistol. No high speed, special purpose equipment here. Just a kydex holster and magazines in my pocket. That's how I walk around, that's how I want to train. But what this highlights is what I've found, a great community. Regardless of level, equipment, or training goals, this community is all about everyone getting better, sharing knowledge, and lifting people up. It's great!! To new shooters, breaking down that stigma is huge. Keep it up.
Colion Is A Beast🔥🔥
Todd I dropped you a sub
That whole crew looks super competitive on and off the range. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@geoffalpert3678 Thx Geoff🤙
@@davidb9323 No doubt. Makes me want to step up my game for sure🤙
Love you're content as someone who is going to be getting into shooting and purchasing my 1st gun, you're videos have thought me a lot. Appreciate it.
Great video! Those that train and practice diligently are always going to be on top. Was pretty impressed either how well you did walking in off the street essentially.
Thank you for the video. And, as always, good advice given.
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing this!
Colion, I’ve watched many of your videos, they are all good… but this was a real treat in comparison. We learned about your goals, saw you shoot.. and even met some of your friends. Great content. Just sayin’.
You know what I like about your channel, it's real. You do things and if you mess up, you can laugh at yourself, I like that. I don't like channels that try to make every video perfect.
Since ammo prices skyrocketed I haven't been able to practice like I used to. But I do hit the range occasionally. It's a perishable skill and it shows. Love these types of vids Colion! Keep making them!
Ammo prices are pretty fair right now
@@Soleshooter4 - better, but I doubt they'll ever make it back down to Trump prices again. Besides, the way things are going stocking up seems like the wiser move. I still practice here and there, but not as often as I used to, and not 150 - 200 rounds/session any more either.
Better call Dillon Precision! Do it!
I am an instructor...part time now...but the money I make off of classes now has the sole purpose of buying ammunition and firearms
@@stoots1000 - I used to do the bulk of my shooting when I was an instructor. We were given an allotment for skill building. Them were the days.
Another excellent video! Thank you good sir! And as always... Stay safe, keep carrying and God bless.
Outstanding. If ANYONE claims they do not know what a woman is (they're morons), this video has two perfect examples. Michelle and Brooke are living definitions. Semper Fi.
Brooke looks a bit masculine, wouldn't call her a woman for sure.
@KZheadCommentsMakeMeCringe so a woman with muscles isn't a woman?
Colion I love your style I enjoy your videos and thank you for being such a voice for the second amendment and teaching us new shooting Techniques . It's always good to see people having fun while learning how to do things.
Go Colion! I'd love to see you compete. It's so much fun...and SO good for every aspect of your shooting!
Looks like a lot of fun. And Brooke didn't know she was a comp shooter, knee she was a body builder and competes in Rogue fitness comps. Thxs Colion.
She hasn't competed in CrossFit for years. Dialed back the PEDs a bit obviously, probably wrecked her hormones.
Been following Brooke for a few years now and never realized she was into shooting. It's awesome to see such a beast in the fitness world also be training firearms to that level.
It's TRENdy for sure.
This was just a Great Watch! Thanks for feeding us the view. Amazing shooters.
That was such a fun video to watch, awesome. A big thank you as always.
To anyone - It's all different types of shooters from hunters, competition, tactical, law enforcement & military. You just have to keep consistent with training relax don't be stiff or in your head too much. Remember it's fun if you mess up own it & try to do better next time. Colion good luck with your future possible competitions 👍🏻
Don’t worry about embarrassing yourself, you will and so has everyone else who competes, what it gives you is trigger time under pressure that you don’t get a in a practice or class. Having worked under pressure makes you better when it counts.
I agree. That is why everyone should run a combat course of fire at least once to feel the pressure of time and making hits.
Absolutely loved the show sir. Don't worry you got it going on ✌️😎
Like you I enjoy shooting and have for years. I got my first rifle when I was 7 years old. I grew up around guns and have the upmost respect for them. I have some really old ones as well. I took one to a gunsmith for an inspection and good cleaning and he was amazed as he had never seen this type of rifle before. I went to pick it up and he told me it was made in 1947 and for it's age was in excellent condition. We shot it the other day and my son said he was not expecting that kind of recoil and watching the video the 2nd shot you could see him tighten up on it. The rifle we were shooting was a 35 cal. Remington.
Gotta love badass, confident women who can shoot with the best and take care of themselves...feels like this is becoming more and more rare these days.
This was interesting to see. I don’t know competition shooting other than quick draw so this was an eye opener. Great video and they would be very scary if someone was to be an active shooter. I really hope this gets more popular. Thank you for being who you are and keep them ‘em coming, sir.
Watch Uspsa and IPSC
Don't confuse competition shooting with real life combat shooting. They are totally different. Competition shooting does teach you gun handling skills, and marksmanship. Real self defense force on force training, using simunitions scenarios, will get you what the concealed carrier needs the most- realism.
@@LoneStarLawman military, don’t really care about civi people paying for fun. But thank you
@@joelee4495 I care more about the law aspect, this was just a fun video for me
It's very popular, its also not tactical so military/ law enforcement short circuit when they see run and gun.
Awesome ! I like the dialogue to improve and get better at shooting . I am always impressed with your videos .
very good job Colin impressive to see how you just walked into that situation an did an awesome job shooting
Nice. Love seeing this competitive content and some banter. 😂😊
Love his Attitude if someone does not like something you like 😊😊😊😊 keep the videos coming
My dad always told me everybody's got their own opinions.
@Colion Noir first time comin across your content (came up as suggested) and stoked about it. Got me extra motivated to step up my sidearm proficiency. Impressive work btw. Thanks for the content 🤜🏼🤛🏼 *subbed*
It's cool when people I follow from different reasons cross over. Nice seeing Brooke.
Great video! I know what the guy was trying to say, but "It's like tanks on a turret," had me rolling on the floor laughing.... 😂🤣😂
I don’t say this often about people but, Mr Noir is a straight up class act.
Great video, always looking forward to seeing the next one.
I am literally brand new to the sport. i was looking for a new hobby and for decades have always had a slight interest in competitive shooting. Knowing of Colion from videos and shows that have popped up , i decided i would start learning from him as my first source . Its great to see an expert like him not self absorbed but always looking for for more information from as much sources as he can. thanks colion, John from australia :)
I think it would be cool to see you interview Matt pranka and Ben stoeger. Matt’s take on practical shooting is fascinating because of which unit he came from.
Great video. Great community of shooters.
This was a great video! The young lady made a very valid point, it's not how fast you shoot, getting there fast allows for more accurate shots. I've always taught, speed is fine accuracy is final. The gentleman also made a very important point, there are STEPS to increase your proficiency! Well done, awesome video!
One thing I loved about this guy is how he talked about staying low while on the move. I remember doing martial arts for years, and my teachers kick you in the back of the leg if you were bouncing up and down while doing katas. It makes a difference in maintaining form, regardless of rather its shooting, fighting, or lifting weights.
In my firearms journey, i've moved passed competition shooting and onto advocacy and education. The best impact anyone can do for this movement is to invite people to the range and get them familiar!
How does getting familiar with using firearms for play help with education?
Any type of shooting impacts you're overall ability to get hits. I don't think the bad guys are going to stand still while you shoot at them and it's a bad idea for you to stand still as well. Moving and shooting is a learning experience that you will never forget and in my opinion can't be practiced enough like the trainer said on your toes your gun goes to pogo mode!! You'd be surprised how much core and lower back/hips are involved in this discipline! Great job sir!!
Who's the bad guy?
@@jasonbare3472 Depends Jason are you trying to harm Me, My Family, or perhaps people that I care about!?
I was fortunate enough to be able to have Michelle give myself and two friends a shooting lesson at Caswells in Mesa so many years ago. Super cool young lady!
Great skills, nice training platform.
Excuses! Just do it, dive in and take the first step and just get started. Things we say we want to do, but don't have the "time" to do - that it is just excuses. Get started and if it's for you, you will make the time to do it more regularly. What's better than training and repetition, with the competition part of it as a motivation factor to get better, and in the end you will have more experience if that moment comes when you need to protect yourself or others. You will also probably get some kind of content out of it, win-win!
Colin love your channel keep talking! keep speaking the truth
This was such a great, informative video. I'm blown away how great of a shooter you are, and, obviously, those pros. I'm still in the very early stages of getting my ccw and trying to decide what my edc will be and when i do my draw and presentation it feels so slow, clunky and almost like i'm going to drop the gun or something. I won't but it feels so uncoordinated in comparison. I know it's just a matter of time. But, you should definitely try the competition, you're a helluva shooter and i know you'd be great! BTW.. this video makes me want a Staccato! I'm leaning towards the CS as it'd be my 1st Staccato.
Thanks for being an intelligent, well spoken and well-informed advocate for gun rights and the 2A community. I always love that your videos make realistic argument's that can't easily be dismissed as just another gun nut! Keep up the fight.
Dammmnn... Brooke brought extra guns to the range... * looks like a fun day. Thanks for sharing.
i just love this man
Colion, YOU are a legend too. 🔥🔥🔥
Show this from concealed carry which is the way most of us carry. That would be impressive and informative.
That lady works out holy smokes!🔥
Brooke is JACKED
She was a crossfit games athlete, and also one of the Amazon women in Wonder Woman 😅
Colion just remember that your faith is stronger than your doubt. Go do your thing and thrive 💪🏽💪🏽
I shot idpa for a little over a decade (I live pretty close to club 1 so it's very popular in my area) and it's a fantastic way to learn and grow from a pure shooting technique standpoint, I miss doing it on a weekly basis but the local range that did idpa nights weekly closed down during lockdowns
Very cool seeing you put yourself out there.
That Ruger 380 Security you showed about a week ago is going to be my next gun. I think it will be a good gun for me with my bad hands, plus it looks like a great gun that will be fun to shoot.
Awesome video! Colion, I hope some day I might get to meet you, and shake your hand. You are very important to our shooting fraternity on multiple levels!
I loved shooting competition pistol (UKPSA) events prior to the handgun ban in 1997 - sadly not one of those guys who can keep their guns in Europe and travel to practice & compete. Great to see you want to seriously try competition - good luck
I think without practice, I've shot enough that under most cases, I would do ok. But, I know that my odds go way up, more so if multiple targets, the more you practice. One thing that really showed this to me was while in the Marines, I had a 45cal. 1911 and as much ammo as I wanted to shoot. The 45 had a bent front sight, but in a short time I could unload on a moving soda can or hit a bird on a power line, with out even thinking about the bent sight. For that gun to me or my fellow Marine around me, it had to do what was needed and I didn't want it hitting something that didn't need hitting like a civilian or follow Marine.
You are right. In any sport, it boils down into how much time you put into practice. That's it. Its that simple.
👍
Proper Practice Prevents Poor Performance
Loads of fun. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed this video Colion. You do great videos. Love the Star Trek shirt.
Brooke!!! Love the celebrity cameo!
You can feel the high school crush tension between Colion and Michelle. 😂 And what did she mean by. "I want to shoot your gun." Of which Colion responded with, "this one?" 😱🤣
Best video from your channel I have seen in a while. Give me more please.
I want to say this. I am really enjoying the drills and the instruction. I shoot idpa and this is going to help for sure
Brooke is a shooter?!? I had no idea! I've followed her during Crossfit.
I thought the same thing Chad. When I heard him introduced her and heard her name my ears perked up and said no way.
I LOVE your enthusiasm (I lost mine decades ago). And I cannot really afford to shoot much anymore, but I recognize that the "shot" that I may have to take someday is not what it used to be. My engineering licenses expire next april (nuclear and mechanical), and nobody will hire a 64 years old engineer. So my budget is pretty much limited to necessities, such as house, utilities, and beer and vodka. I had to sell my car, so I won't be getting any DUIs! Love ya, Colion!
BUDGET - brew & distill your own , motorised bicycle 75mpg - buy ammo with huge savings from all the above - 💥excuses gone !
Have you considered going into consulting work? Your age and length of experience is an ASSET there. No, nobody is going to hire you to actually DO anything, but they still value your wealth of knowledge
I just learned recently, we gotta show clear and holster, lol , good job Colin!
You get a thumbs up just for the sexiness of the Staccato alone... but honestly just started 3 gun tournaments in February and man, what a great time! Would highly recommend it!
I don't own a firearm yet, and won't own one for carry till I get training. I don't like the idea that I would use it inappropriately, and potentially cause more of a problem. Thanks for the USCCA info :)
