Tim fosters an atmosphere of fun and personal development, making a personal investment in the improvement of every shooter.

Over the past ten years, Steve Anderson, a USPSA Grand Master and the host of “That Shooting Show,” has observed several notable trends and developments among his students as he teaches mental management in practical shooting: Increased Focus on Mental Skills: Anderson has noted a significant shift in how shooters perceive the importance of the mental game in shooting sports. More students are now recognizing that mental preparation can be as crucial as physical skills. He emphasizes concepts like match mode versus speed or accuracy modes, which are often discussed on his podcast and in his classes. Application of Mental Management Systems: Being certified in Lanny Bassham's “Mental Management Systems,” Anderson applies these principles to shooting, helping students understand how mental preparation can lead to better performance. This includes teaching shooters how to manage their thoughts after practice or matches to reinforce positive outcomes rather than dwell on negatives, which is a recurring theme in his teachings. Transformation in Student Performance: Anderson has seen students who, after attending his mental management seminars or classes, experience significant improvements in their competitive performance. His students often report going from average performers to winning major competitions or achieving higher classifications like Grandmaster after adopting these mental strategies. The feedback from students highlights the practical application of his teachings, with some even attributing their competitive successes directly to these mental techniques. Ongoing Learning and Adaptation: The community of practical shooters is dynamic, with continuous learning being a key aspect. Anderson sees that his students are not just taking one class; many return for repeated sessions or explore different facets of the mental game, indicating a deep commitment to mastering this aspect of shooting. This ongoing engagement has also led to a culture where shooters share and learn from each other's experiences, further fueled by Anderson's podcast episodes.   Mental Game as a Competitive Edge: There's a growing understanding among competitors that mastering the mental aspects can provide a substantial edge over others who might focus solely on physical skills. Anderson's teachings have helped demystify how mental preparation can lead to consistency under pressure, which is vital in practical shooting sports.   Steve Anderson's work has not only influenced individual shooters but has also contributed to a broader cultural shift in how mental management is approached in shooting sports, making it a cornerstone of competitive training.

We are excited to put some focus on shooting again, and we felt it was time to have Tim Herron back on the show. What are the skills needed to break barriers from say expert to master class in IDPA or A class to Master and even to Grand Master in USPSA.   Tim's mental preparation -  Does being nervous for a stage ever go away? Tim also breaks down par times for requisite skills, and what separates B class, A, Master and GM… It will really make you think.  Tim Herron is a USPSA Grand Master in both Single Stack and Limited division,  a Master Class CDP shooter in IDPA, and has experience in defensive shooting, IDPA, Steel Challenge, bullseye and target shooting, Bianchi, and the occasional trick shot.

Patrick Free just reached his goal of being classified as a Grand Master in Carry Optics this year. He shares his journey of making this classification, the classes he took to learn, and what his goals going into Nationals were. While Patrick's National competition didn't go as he expected, he shares what he learned from the experience to prepare for next year's Nationals. One of the best "tune-ups" to Nationals is Dothan Gun Club's Endless Summer Blast annual competition. Patrick shares about that match and how the stages truly prepare shooters for State, Area, and National level competitions.

https://chtbl.com/track/118312/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/talkinglead/TLP389_akk_s3_ep3.mp3 Who's ready for a little friendly competition? In this AK Korner episode Lefty has a mixture of amateur and professional competition shooters on to talk about their experiences with shooting the AK-47 in competitions. Our special guest this episode is Brian Nelson. Brian is the creative mind behind the most anticipated AK-47/Com Block shooting competition in the Nation, Red Oktober. Brian is also a USPSA Grand Master in 4 divisions and winner of multiple Regional, National and World Championship practical shooting titles and awards. Also joining in on this episode are Kyle Moore, Jared Seagraves, Aaron Keener and Brian Keeney. Red Oktober is a AK (AK-47, AK-74, AKM) shooting match and gun show festival blending 3-Gun style shooting with AK type rifles. The competitions are practical-style providing a fun opportunity to compete using the AK-pattern rifle in a style that is typically slanted towards more modern AR-style designs. Red Oktober is NOT intended to be a tactics and doctrine-based exercise, just a fun celebration of Mikhail Kalashnikov’s rifle. "Leaducating The Unleaducated" since 2012

Today, Riley Bowman will have special guest Tim Herron of TimHerronShooting.com on the show to talk about breaking down the shot process, training, and how to attain peak pistol-shooting performance. Tim is a multi-division USPSA Grand Master who just recently won the 2020 USPSA Area 2 Championship. He is also a passionate full-time instructor traveling the country to help competitive and defensive shooters alike bust through performance roadblocks and get on the path to reach their full potential.

Today we do an entire hour of "Get It Off Your Chest" with Matt Pranka. Matt recently retired from a high level Army Special Operations Unit (Read into that as much as you want), a USPSA Grand Master, and the owner of X-Ray Alpha LLC Training Company. Recently Matt has been posing questions on his IG page that have shaken up the status quo in the areas of Tactics, Training, and Competition. So I decided to have him come back on the show and elaborate on those thoughts. The next hour may hurt some feelings but that is not the intent. The intent is to start thinking about things from another point of view. A view that has been forged out of accomplishments at the highest level.   Today's Episode is brought to you by: Big Tex Outdoors! jedi13 gets you 13% off!  And PHLster! Jedi10 gets you 10% off!

This episode is packed with the genius of Charlie Perez as he shares his brilliance on the sport of practical shooting and the art of discovering your Suck List. For more on Charlie, visit him on Instagram or his website, www.bigpandaperformance.com ———————————- WHAT CHARLIE HAS DONE AND IS CURRENTLY DOING (10:00…) -currently a Grand Master Limited Shooter in USPSA, with several top 10 rankings in the last few years, Charlie unprecedentedly went from an unclassified shooter in 2008 to Grand Master 18 months later -he was new to shooting at an aggressive pace and needed to re-learn the game and how to shoot at this new speed -he spent a considerable amount of time at indoor ranges and booked himself at first at the slowest and then the busiest times in the range to practice blocking out the inputs from other shooters -in his practice he discovered that there were several abnormalities (like your shooting stance and pistol grip) that were not automatic to human nature, and that if he put those abnormal things into his daily practice they would become second nature to him INTEGRATING AN AGGRESSIVE PRACTICE: DRY FIRE SHOOTING (20:00…) -in his dry fire practice Charlie started focusing on how we grip the pistol -what most people aren’t doing is using the same grip on their dry fire practice as they are in a match or live fire practice. -any time a gun is between Charlie’s face and a target, he is practicing his grip — and doing that until it’s natural for him every time he holds it. -if you are practicing dry fire well, you will only be able to do it for about 15 minutes before your forearms are annihilated. THE ART OF A GRAND MASTER (25:50…) -any stage performance is an orchestra of skills — and Charlie deals with which of those skills are leveraged in each match, adding the time and frequency, and create a training plan based on all these metrics. -looking minutely at the stages and the skills combined to create them gives Charlie access to shaving off those half second time donations that no one wants to give. -you can compile a collection of these skills and put together a training plan based on the performance value and then put what is costing you the most at the top of your list. -bottom line: make a Suck List.  Love your list.  Add to your list.  When your list is done, you’re done.  So if you want to keep playing, keep up with your Suck List and prioritize what you suck at. -your training is going to be the most effective when it’s customized to what you need, not what someone else is doing -when Charlie trains people, instead of “giving them a fish,” he is focused on teaching you how to see, observe, and feel what you are doing that’s not working, so with our without him, you now have access to adjusting yourself. CHARLIE’S CURRENT SUCK LIST: -Retreating / Shooting backwards on the move -Getting into contorted positions with a limited range of motion (after a knee injury last Spring) -Re-learning how to call his shots as his vision changes over the years MARK’S NEW SUCK LIST: -I don’t assess my shooting -I don’t know how or have a way that I would measure that -Pistol performance Charlie’s bottom line with training: EVERYTHING WE DO IS MEASURABLE — from the movement of your feet to how fast you raise your pistol, to the number of steps you take and the way you move to the next target.  Get interested in all of it and get to work. You can grab a copy of Charlie’s book, “Path of Focused Effort: A Learning Guide for Practical Shooting” on his website, as well as other product recommendations.

This week we wrap up a bunch of news stories that have been occupying our time over the last week.  The Supreme Court rules that felons don't immediately lose ownership of their guns upon conviction. They can find someone else to take custody of them and sell them, etc. The concealed carry law in Washington DC had a key provision struck down by Federal Judge Scullin. The part of the law that said applicants for a concealed carry permit must have a just cause for requesting the permit is what he went after, saying that is unconstitutional. USPSA Grand Master turned Louisiana State Representative Blake Miguez is working on an actual gun safety bill in the state. It's passed the LA state house so far.  PoliceOne posts a really derpy article about competitive shooting. "The reason being they aren't realistic and cause the shooter to form extremely bad habits that can get them killed on the street." Yawn. The Boy Scouts of America ban squirt guns (Auto-play ads in the link). Listen, if your Boy Scout troop is organizing squirt gun fights, you should find a better troop that's actually teaching your son to be a good citizen. I was a Tiger Cub, earned my Arrow of Light, and eventually Eagle Scout and I can't say we ever played with squirt guns. It's a non-issue. A Mississippi man was approached by two criminals with guns, and forced to drive them to an ATM to get cash. Afterwards, the victim was able to get access to his own pistol and fatally wound one of the criminals, and the other is on the loose. Word on the street is that the victim in this case is a USPSA competitor who was on his way to the Mississippi Classic USPSA match that morning. Bad guys had a failure in their victim selection process. Dry Fire Drill of the Week: In honor of Blake Miguez in the news section above, this week's drill is the Blake Drill. Here's Angry Matt explaining it.

This week we had a chance to meet up with USPSA Grand Master and current Production National Champion Ben Stoeger. We talk a lot about how he got into shooting, robocop, Mel Gibson, mullets, and goons. Contact: - luke@triangletactical.net - ben@triangletactical.net - (919) 295-6128

Ben is taking a 2 day handgun class with Steve Anderson from That Shooting Show and he had a chance to sit down with him and record an episode. They talk quite a bit about USPSA, and the mental game. If you aren't familiar with Steve, he's known in the competitive shooting world as the dry fire guy. He's written a few books on the subject, and now he hosts a podcast (along with his dogs and David Lee Roth) where he talks more about the practical shooting mental game, dry fire, and match management. "Where's the improvement gonna come from if you don't strap on the gear and get to work?" You can find Steve at AndersonShooting.com with links to purchase his books, sign up for classes, and subscribe to his podcast.
