Dear Shooter

Ever showed up at the range only to realize you forgot your lucky shooting socks? We feel you! This week, we're diving deep into the quirky world of range day must-haves, superstitions, and those face-palm "I can't believe I forgot that" moments.

From the shooter who won't pull the trigger without their "lucky" threadbare hat (now more hole than hat) to the range warrior who performs a full ritual dance before each session – we're spilling all the beans! Plus, discover what seasoned shooters consider their non-negotiable gear essentials (spoiler: it's not just ammo and targets).

Get ready for Lucky Episode 13 - because nothing says "good fortune" quite like talking about emergency medical gear!

Join us for a potentially life-saving (and surprisingly entertaining) chat with Jason Kollander from Retten1, who's here to prove that medical training isn't just for people who look good in scrubs. Whether you're a tactical enthusiast or just someone who wants to be the hero at a paper cut emergency, this episode is packed with essential knowledge about medical gear and training.

Join us as Andrew spills the beans on competition secrets, gear selection, and those "why didn't I think of that?" moments that separate the pros from the "maybe next times." With Lucid Optics' crystal-clear precision and Andrew's competition-tested insights, you'll be ready to dominate the range – plague or no plague!

In this eye-opening chat, Katelyn spills the tea on: • Breaking down those pesky barriers that make shooting seem scarier than your mother-in-law's cooking • Dodging common newbie mistakes (because nobody wants to be "that person" at the range) • Building confidence faster than you can say "bull's-eye"
