And I enyy you for that. In a good way, hahaha. That's money well spent. That's the way I would like to spend my money. And I actually did for some time before inflation got bunkers!

I'm lucky to be able to do so, I know. A lot of my books I get second hand so they are cheap, but the shooting stuff is so niche that I have to get them new. Besides, no one generally let's those books go once acquired.

I've been shooting for 30 years and would never say I know everything, or even close to everything, there is so much to know and projectiles change all the time, as do primers, powders and rifle technology but through training and education I have acquired a lot of understanding in those 30 years. I like the combination of reading and instruction...Learning from others, then applying it in the field. I guess one would say I know a little.

Well, that's the thing with everything. I think that's the wonderful things about us. Skills take so much to master and the fact that we can pass what we have learned to other generation and they can do the same is awesome.

And you are right. Reading is an excellent way of learning, but in this case is applying what you have heard, read and thought about what will give you the true understanding of these things.

It has happened to me back when I practiced Aikido and didn't understand a technique. I watched videos, read, asked my sensei, my senpais, and when I started to to do things and apply the principles, it was the "eureka" moment. I could finally fathom beyond the thing in words and bring it to the world.

Yep, reading something alone is ok in some cases but in many applications it's not going the best to do in isolation. A combination is the best. I've had a lot of training with firearms in my 30 years of shooting, have read so many books and have put in countless hours behind the gun...I can still only say I know a little.

And I guess you could write about with that little knowledge you have and it would be a good contribution to that niche.

Yeah, I think after 30 years I have something to contribute.

Lol, I'm more hands on so my contribution would be practical in nature I think. I just wrote these posts for fun.

I'm a good teacher/instructor and only resort to beatings when fuckers don't listen. 😂

Ha, ha, ha. Nothing beats a good ol' fashioned beating when your attention is elsewhere or you are annoying. Conductism works so well I don't understand why it was abandoned! 😂

Ah yes, I can see you're well-versed in the ways of beatings as form of motivation or simply to gain someone attention. It's an age-old method, tried and tested, and if it ain't broke why fix it! 😆

Yeah, we learn about all that stuff in Educational Psychology but we are told that beating is not permitted. I mean "why not?" if it is the only method that has been tested for millennia and it's known to work.

It worked for the Spartans, Roman Empire, Attila the Hun, my headmaster at school,...So many others...I know it's frowned upon now but hey, maybe it's time to revisit the concept, deploy some beatings, and see what results can be achieved. I'm at my office right now...I might go and administer some motivational beatings...I think productivity is going to be on the up! 😂

Ha, ha, ha. I bet some good results could be at hand with that initiative! You to tell me how did it go. Did production went up? By how much? 🤣

Lol...Well, there was some crying, strangely mostly from the males, but after the crying (and bleeding) stopped they all seemed very keen to work, and avoid further motivational thrashings! 😂

Ha, ha, ha. Well, we have a lesser tolerance to pain, so it is not a surprise. Good thing they now know how to avoid the beating: just get good! Nice results from the experiment.

I'm more the kind of teacher that tells you to go do another thing if you're not motivated. That has to do with my learning style, but also because I don't like to see time wasted.

Well, my staff line up at my door for their daily beating - Some bring their own stick. I like those ones. Suck-ups! 🙂

Ha, ha, ha. I imagine the door says something like "Motivational beating are mandatory. Bringing tour own stick is optional"

Yep, it's something like that. Although...If I was really inspirational I'd motivate them to beat each other and I could put my feet up on the desk and relax more.

Ha, ha, ha. Well, those are some good ideas for the next line-up-motivational-beating set up. Keep getting your ideas in line for that.

Hmm, maybe I should run seminars, you know, teaching people how to motivate others. 🤔

Hey, it would be worth people's moneys! Not that stuff coaches say. Some true and tested methods for motivation. 😂

You know how I'd teach the teachers though right? Yep, with beatings!

Ha, ha, ha. I figured out as much! Reminds me of my sixth grade teacher. She had an aluminum ruler.
