In this episode, Tyler and Diaz pull back the curtain on the entire process of developing a high-performance training course, using the upcoming Competition Train-Up Day as a case study.

🔍 What Goes Into Building an Effective Train-Up?

We don’t just throw drills together—we engineer a training experience designed for immediate, measurable improvement at the next weekend’s competition. Every detail is intentional. Here’s how we do it:

✅ Defining the End Goal – The train-up must produce instant, applicable results. Every drill and concept is built to fix weaknesses and sharpen strengths before the competition.

✅ Breaking Down the Training Structure – Each phase is built around a Primary Focus Topic and a Secondary Focus Topic, ensuring shooters develop key skills in a progressive and layered approach.

✅ Three-Tiered Learning Approach – Every concept is reinforced through Lecture (Understanding the Why), Demonstration (Seeing the How), and Practical Application (Doing the Work).

✅ Developing Training Tasks & Objectives – Each phase includes specific performance-based training objectives that must be met before moving forward.

✅ Creating a Realistic & Effective Schedule – We optimize training time by structuring drills that maximize reps, reinforce key techniques, and polish execution under pressure.

The result? A strategically designed training program that ensures every shooter walks away better prepared, more confident, and more capable when match day arrives. 🎯

🚀 Want to train smarter and see real results?
Tune in to this episode and learn how training should be built—not just thrown together.

In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving world of precision shooting and the impact of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, smart optics, and advanced ballistic calculators. As the tools and tech available to shooters become more sophisticated, we delve into a key question: in a future where computers can calculate the perfect shot in real time, how much will human skill still matter?

Join us as we discuss how AI and smart optics are transforming the way marksmen approach their craft—improving accuracy, reducing human error, and revolutionizing training methods. But with all this innovation, does the role of the shooter become less about skill and more about the technology they wield? Can a machine truly outperform the best human shooters, or will there always be a place for human intuition and adaptability in the art of precision shooting?

We’ll hear from Tyler and Jeph, to get their perspectives on the future of this high-stakes sport, Military / Law Enforcement Sniping, and explore the ethical and philosophical implications of a world where machines might take the shot every time.

Tune in for a fascinating discussion on the intersection of human expertise and technological advancement in the world of precision shooting.
