These interviews have me convinced that the equipment and techniques are so good, that shooting has become at least as much a mental sport as a physical sport. Dave Gosnell has a tremendous memory - he can recall scores and matches from years ago. I wish my memory was that good - I must have ingested too much lead over the years. The alcohol in my younger years probably didn't help either.
Erik. these videos are very entertaining. You always conduct interviews in a way where it is just two friends having a chat about the world's greatest sport and I find them very helpful in many ways. Thank you for these videos. David is as forthright and as generous as the guy next door. What a fraternity of men with integrity and values! You all work hard to follow your dreams and I find it inspiring!
A true Ambassador of the sport. You ask the great questions and if people stop and appreciate it there is so much to learn here. Can tell how much you’re enjoying chatting with David.
It's great seeing these legends open up and share things. It seemed at first David may have been a little guarded but you do a great job walking him through the interview. Most of these shooters are very humble but it's great to learn about them and how they approach their discipline.
I'm thoroughly enjoying these conversations and have a great deal of respect for all the time and effort put into winning these matches. I can understand the hesitation to share the key points of information that works for each person, but sincerely hope that they will document it, at least, to share with future generations, when they decide to no longer compete. The processes from one competitor to the next are intriguing to me. Thanks for sharing these experiences and interactions with us!
Well. I find that it was a great interview David Gosnell, WOW!!! That's what I call an Icon in the shooting world. Thank you both for the time that you put in this interview.😎
Im not sure if you mentioned these interviews being put here instead of the Erik Cortina channel. But I did find it. Im learning a lot from these and appreciate you doing them. Even though im not a F class shooter just shoot long range as a hobby really but do my best to get better.
Well that was interesting! Sorts bullets base to tip! I was under the impression that base too give was the common method. So Erik you have said you don’t sort bullets but if you did which method would you use? Thanks
Erik...I love the interviews but sometimes the lingo loses me. Not that I am not interested but rather that knowing what kind of scoring is hard to follow, especially when two guys that really know it get to talking about it. It might be worth it to make a short video that you can link to in the descriptions of the videos explaining the rules, how you score and so forth.
