While marksmanship and situational awareness are very important, I feel that you end up finding a point of diminishing returns, and more often than not, many of those who desire to play “sheepdog” end up being extremely one dimensional, and only prepared to handle situations in which they can use their super tactical sidearm to fight their way to their SBR and plate carrier that they let bounce around in their trunk.The chances of me getting into a gunfight are extremely slim, and while it’s important to continue to practice situational awareness and defensive marksmanship/etc, I find it’s more important to “train” for things that I am much more likely to encounter. Fostering mental toughness and discipline, refining my hunting and woodsman skills, and staying up to date on my first aid skills will likely serve me better than practicing for a shootout in an alleyway. I spend a lot more time hunting, camping, and hiking than I do looking for bad guys to shoot; and in turn, am a lot more likely to get shot by accident, bitten by a snake/whatever, or face mental adversity. So I train for that, as it’s a lot more useful.</blockquote>
