Marksman Robert 'Bob' Vogel has reportedly been arrested on six charges of child pornography. According to the Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office, he was booked in custody on August 8. Meanwhile, no bond has been set for any of the charges, and not much detail is available about the offense or his arrest at the time of writing.
The charges against him include making or sharing obscene material involving a minor, creating or directing an obscene performance with a minor, having or trying to get obscene material involving a minor, disrupting public communication services, and twice being involved in selling or buying alcohol for someone underage.
Per reports, he is a former law enforcement officer and has worked with the FBI. A few days back, he shared a photo of his FBI SWAT badge from the Detroit Division. The post contained a video of a shooting alley. He captioned it:
“It’s not every day I get to work with these guys.”
YouTuber Ben Stoeger posted a video about Bob Vogel’s arrest and mentioned that the marksman was a USPSA champion who also won the IPSC World Shoot. However, Stoeger mentioned that a person related to Vogel shared with him that the charges were unfair.
In 2017, Bob Vogel was interviewed by the Adrenaline Sports Media at the World Shoot XVIII in France. When asked what it meant for him to be in the championship, he said,
“It's definitely an honor to be here for your country. This is my fourth time in a row actually shooting for the US team. It's every three years so I've done this done this bit before, first time in France. But yeah, you know, it's an honor just simply to be representing the US.”
Bob Vogel shares his thoughts about competitive shooting
The same year, the YouTube channel SureFire posted a video featuring Bob Vogel discussing the benefits of competitive shooting. He explained that competitive shooting helped people learn to shoot faster and more accurately and also taught them how to perform well under pressure.
He said it was different from regular practice or making videos because there were no second chances, as everyone was watching, cameras were recording, and money was at stake, so they had to get it right the first time. Bob Vogel added,
“I've seen guys with real experience have some issues with that you know, it definitely can put you out of your comfort zone and put some pressure on you. I'm not saying that's the same pressure necessarily as the real incident but to some extent pressure is pressure and anytime you can put people under that make them perform that's a positive thing.”
Bob Vogel said that the third important part was speed, not only moving fast but also thinking fast. He explained that in real-life dangerous situations, things happened quickly, and many people were not prepared for that. In competitive shooting, timing was measured in tiny fractions of a second, and this helped train the mind to make quick decisions.
He believed this skill could be useful in real life, and from his own experience as a police officer, he felt he could think and act more quickly than others in certain situations.
