ConventionalShooter - About Us

Conventional shooting is the foundation of all marksmanship and ConventionalShooter promotes all forms of conventional shooting.

There are a host of organizations for Conventional Shooting, some having existed for over a century. Why do we need another?

Simple. Effectiveness, or lack there of. A harsh statement, but an accurate one. A number of conventional shooting disciplines pre-date baseball, basketball, golf and other ball-and-stick games. Conventional Shooting laid the foundations for all forms of marksmanship development, for military, police and all citizens. Yet, despite this head start and important heritage, Conventional Shooters have been forced to take a back seat.

Common complaints range from "anti-gun media" to "bullseye is too boring." All these obstacles are misconceptions that can be overcome by an efficient, competant organization managed by directors and shooters who truly understand Conventional Shooting from the shooter's perspective and can promote it to the highest levels possible.

Do you want your sport to be easier to run and manage? Do you want an organization that can positively promote you and your shooting to the masses? ConventionalShooter is that organization.

Yes, there is a real person behind this website. I'm John, nice to meet you. Military side, I'm a small arms instructor in the US Army Reserve with the Small Arms Readiness Group, on active duty since 2003, am a member of the USAR Shooting Team, and have managed a few first-place wins at the All Army Small Arms Championships and AFSAM (Armed Forces Skills at Arms Meeting.) Civilian side, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Management Computer Systems, hold several shooting classifications at "Master" level, am a NROI-certified Range Officer, and NRA life member.
