Your Most Important Piece of Shooting Gear

What's the single most important piece of Shooting gear?

The single most important piece of your Shooting gear varies significantly if you plan to "carry" a firearm (either concealed or open carry) or if you just plan to target shoot.

If you plan to "carry", then your single most important piece of Shooting gear is your carry weapon. Knowing this firearm, when and how to draw it from its holster, how to shoot it from a variety of positions in a variety of situations, how to reload it under pressure, what to do if a malfunction occurs, and what to say to the police if you needed to use it are all critically important. Buying a carry gun and then never practicing how to use it if needed to save your life is just asking for trouble. You need to practice the skills that might save your life.

​If you don't plan to "carry", then your most important piece of Shooting gear is the firearm that you plan to shoot the most and get the most enjoyment from.
