Why 'Shoot Faster Than You Think' is Deadly SOTG 1336

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Most firearms trainers emphasize shooting faster, but what if that very rush is what's killing your skills? In this eye-opening episode, Prof. Paul, Jarrad Markel, and Louis Caras crack open the myth that speed alone makes you effective under stress. They reveal that rushing your shot not only leads to bad habits but can directly cause negligent discharges and deadly mistakes. Discover why mindset, tactical awareness, and deliberate skill-building outweigh mere speed. Learn how the brain perceives time differently in high-pressure moments and why training your body to automate actions is crucial for survival. The guys break down the hidden dangers of focusing on shot times and how to develop true decision-making 'white space', the mental bandwidth vital for shooting accurately when it counts. You'll explore practical tactics for retaining knowledge, confronting bad training habits, and using pressure tests, force-on-force drills, and cue-based instruction to elevate your performance. Plus, get an inside look at the latest optics innovations, like the new EOTech EFLX CE, and how to zero your sight for real-world use.
