ABOUT THEHUMBLEMARKSMAN

The Humble Marksman started as an inside joke. In the International Defensive Pistol Association, a Marksman is the second lowest rank. Thanks to classifications it never could be said I didn't think I knew how "good" I was - probably not "humble" in the traditional sense but maybe in the "simple" since. I noticed a void in the types of videos I wanted to see on YouTube so I sought to fill that void with quality information from someone who actually can run a pistol at a higher level. Whether my pistol craft is on a "high level" is certainly debatable, but I am currently classified as a Master by the United States Practical Shooting Association.
