When I started high school, I fell in love with weightlifting…squats in particular. I hit it HARD for a few years and loved it, but one of the things that I was always trying to do was to make gains as fast as I did when I was first starting. It didn’t happen. There’s something … Continue Reading →
In listening to months of conversations about what happened with Alec Baldwin, I’m reminded of a conversation I had with Larry Yatch and Beau Doboszynski 10 years ago at the Sealed Mindset stress shooting lab.

It’s a 5 day, 40 hour course that goes into training history, gunfight dynamics, how to safely structure and run reality based training, teaching/learning strategies, reality based training technologies, … Continue Reading →
There is a myth in shooting that people have been “pointing since they were babies” so they can point a gun and hit what they want to hit. The two statements “people have been pointing since babies” and “people can point shoot accurately” are both true, but they have no relation to each other. Pointing … Continue Reading →
What if missing more in practice could help you hit more in combat or self-defense? It can…but only if you do it right. First off, we’ve got to define what a “hit” and “miss” is… If your standard is “hitting the paper” then all of these holes would be “hits.” None would be misses. … Continue Reading →
I have got a fun article for you today that’s somewhat timely with the Olympics in full swing. Did you know that 32% of people polled before the Sydney Olympics wanted pistol dueling to be REINSTATED?
