About SinistralRifleman

I've been competing in the action shooting sports since 2002. I believe competition shooting to be an excellent way to build gun handling and marksmanship skills and encourage all gun owners to seek out some form of competition shooting.

Winning, while nice, need not be your goal; bettering yourself through the pursuit of excellence is something we all can achieve.
