TGL EP 270 - Handsome Kyle's New Drill

Max Gates is a smart guy that has a lot to offer but rarely speaks unless spoken to. I've known Max for a few years, and I asked him to share his thoughts on a variety of topics such as teaching, training and the pitfalls in the shooting community.

For the first time, Ben, Hwansik and I taught back to back classes together. We used all new drills and introduced an standards drill in the class that was designed to test all areas of shooting. We discussed the class, the standards and some interesting takeaways.

This is part 2 of my conversation with Christian Sailer. Chrisian has won everything there is to win and continues to dominate. We sat down to talk about what Christian thinks matters and doesn't matter for training as well as some misunderstood topics like hit factor math.

One of the things I appreciate about Kyle is he's always looking for better ways to do things. He's created a new drill that is quite interesting and I plan to try in some of the classes I teach. Andreas shares some recent discoveries with match performance and bringing the best version of yourself when you need to perform.

Sometimes you get to a point in practice where you don't feel like it's being productive. Maybe pushing more will yield a breakthrough, or it could just be time to call it a day. Nick and Geoff are here to discuss where that point is and how to get the most from your practice.

Each handgun recoils a little differently, requires a different minimum grip pressure and different amount of input to return. Nick Young, Jeff and I get into the nuances of determining preferences in guns and how each gun has something to teach you.

This was my first year at Shot Show and it wasn't exactly what I was expecting in several ways. Nick Young is a veteran of Shot Show and we discussed what show is and isn't and if you should have any interest in attending.

I sometimes make jokes about getting the police department admin to sign off on things like training, gear and other expenses. It just so happens I know an admin that is a part of an impressive program. I sat down with my friend, Jesse, to gain a better understanding of how fundamental changes to law enforcement training are made.
