Shooters Who Want to Learn Too Fast
The more we watch the shooters we work with evolve, the better we get at communicating the little things that speed up that improvement. While each shooter is different, they all must make similar commitments to getting better. We have shooters who come to us who want to excel at a really fast pace.

But try as they may, that holy grail turns into a nosegay of excuses that simply masks their lack of commitment to ask for help or their fear of what others might think or say about them and their scores. A great shooter that spent some time with us named Dean Olsen said, “Not only should you not jud... Read more…
