The Artist and the Brush

“…someone has to learn how to fundamentally shoot the weapon well, whether it’s with irons or with a dot, it doesn’t matter at this point. Until they have the fundamentals of grip, trigger control, and aligning the weapon, it’s not going to do much good. After that, you can start looking for whatever the technological advantage is.” -Wayne Dobbs

Ballistic Radio is pleased to welcome Wayne Dobbs back to the show to discuss the evolution of gear, and the technological advances they’ve seen over the years. Listen as they discuss how the industry has shifted from revolvers to semi autos, and then to weapon mounted lights and red dot sights. Is gear actually better today than it was yesterday? What affect do these advances in technology have on our shooting abilities? Do these technological evolutions matter without the skills to match them? All that and more!
