The Brain's Role in Gunfighting & Rifle Donuts? | SOTG 1357

There is a difference between "getting ready" and "being ready." Today Paul and Louis will consider the valuable lessons learned from the Nairobi terror attack and the new book "One Man In" by Christian Craighead. How can we apply the fundamental four to our lives? For our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we will consider some news in the rifle optics world. After our previous conversation regarding a "Close Quarter Battle" sight / reticle, a brand new optic has been made available with a Donut Only option. Could that be the wave of the future? Iron Sharpens Iron, just and one man sharpens another man. How can we as students and disciples of the way help and encourage others? Are there tips or tricks or is it just a hit and miss affair? Paul and Louis consider how we can encourage our fellow man not to be a victim and to get on the path to agency and self-reliance.

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Words mean things. Today we have a very special guest, Louis Caras of LCAR Training. What is our accepted definition of training? How does that differ from the word "practice?" When we go out and shoot on our own, are we training, or practicing, or are we just turning money into noise? How can we learn and improve our skills, tactics and our overall mindset?  Which is more important, repetitions or rehearsals? Is there a difference between the two? Should we be going fast or should we be working on the method? This is a show not to be missed by those who are on the path toward martial enlightenment.

Paul is joined by his friend Bill Frady of Lock N Load radio to do a deep dive into the topic of mindset.  Professor Paul has a new book out; Super Lab: Application of the Scientific Method to Firearms Training. What is the scientific method and how can we use it to improve what we are teaching? The second half of the Bill Frady discussion about mindset. We trust you'll enjoy it. We are constantly amazed by what passes as a news story in our modern era. Some soldiers in Hawaii had to go six days without air conditioning. That crisis was the topic of a feature news story.
