You are not enough.

Gee - I am POSITIVE I have seen this same message on body building/weight lifting and weight control videos - except they tell you the next part: how to get past it. We ALL reach plateaus, and they give you ways to get past them. so, what is the message here - quit and sell of your stuff and start doing something else? Run around in circles saying "what do I do now, what do I do now" or................... Wait! Maybe he is trying to emulate Eric Cortana - give a cryptic message "STOP NECK SIZING" and let you do a bit of research to find out he knows his stuff?
 
I don't have a problem with that video. I feel he did a great job. I felt I was a fairly good hand loader and have been doing it for a very long time. In the last few years here I have learned a lot here. It's an never ending quest to achieve a better load, and group out of your rifle. To think you are enough to me is you are stuck. Not to rethink what you have done and what you can improve on is shorting yourself.
 
So many blame their hardware and continue to upgrade; Dillon, AMP, thenextgizmo…. When it is my software I need to constantly upgrade. When I found Greg's web site I could not stop reading, watching and learning. He is one great writer, communicator and just an outstanding individual. All I can think of to do is sincerely thank him for helping me "Upgrade my software".
 
I think there was a person who said 2000 years ago and still says you are not enough. Can you swim the Atlantic Ocean? Do you know any Olympian swimmer who can swim the Atlantic Ocean? How high can you jump? Can you jump up to the moon or Mars?

Do you get in the back seat of a Tesla and put it on auto drive and trust implicitly in science and the brilliance of mankind?

Where do you put your trust?

Do you have so much pride that you have no humility?

I think Clint Eastwood once said.
A man has gotta know his own limitations........

He was right.

The natural state of man is
a state of very great imperfection.
A worldview that man is perfect or can be will get you into a lot of trouble both in your personal life and your international foreign policy. (The Taliban are all reformed good guys now. They will be honorable cause we trust them now.)

The sacrifice that person made 2000 years ago was to cover all of our imperfections......cause we cant get there on our own......no matter how hard we swim.

His name was Jesus. And He was and is perfect. Just my two cents and my own personal experience.

He gave us all Free Will. We are not robots. We each choose the road we want to walk.

But you by yourself are not enough.
 
Maybe this is not only physical ,emotional habitual learned traits and strength he is speaking of but Spiritual Strength that will suffice for all our weakness in all our endeavors of life. What he says speaks to me and should to all of us because we all have been or will be in a situation beyond our ability to control or even over come. JMHO

For God so loved the world

Excellent Sir , I totally agree !
 
I'm another one who did not have a problem with the video. I didn't find it depressing or discouraging. He simply stated that, as shooters, we will eventually hit a plateau where the steep learning curve has flattened out. If you haven't experienced this, then maybe you need to shoot some more. The plateau could be in reloading, reading the wind or physical conditioning for a hunt. He never said to quit when that happens. He gave words of encouragement: "There is a way....". Maybe he will supply the answer. Maybe we have to find it ourselves. I found it to be a good video with a great message.
 
Please don't say anything if it is not positive with limited knowledge. Greg has done more for the enhancement of this sport of shooting than you can possibly imagine. So evidently you don't know anything about Greg or Primal Rights. Try listening to what other's say and maybe you might learn something. If you have something that will enhance what someone else has to offer on this forum please do so. That is what this forum is for-ENHANCING OUR SHOOTING KNOWLEDGE!
Greg - Primal Rights is a LRH SPONSOR. Has the right to promote business and marketing. What would we do if no one marketed their products? Greg promotes his knowledge on this forum way more that any of his products, which helps anyone that listens to it.
In all sports there is a ceiling that appears. It can't be broken by many until it is broken by one, eg... the 4 minute mile. We as responsible sportsmen need to recognize our individual ceiling. I think this video is meant to make us think, and figure out what our limitations are, we all have them. I believe that most shots are missed before we ever touch the trigger, in our head. Use this video to challenge yourself, to know yourself and your realistic limitations. This is something we should do every time we engage an animal, we must be careful in our pursuits.
Good hunting to all.
