Show up for yourself. It's a theme in my life right now... I'm doing what it takes to succeed! For me that means dry practice. I'm on the road to a training class, in workout clothes, with no excuses. Also, that reload needs to be a little higher up in my workspace. Lol I try to video myself every time and take still shots from that to see where/what I should be improving and working on. #dothework #drypractice #showupforyourself ..read more

A close, trusted friend encouraged me today to start blogging and share my thoughts, experiences and observations surrounding my life and work as a firearms instructor over the past 9+ years. We actually discussed the pros and cons while doing leg day at the gym, which is a typical spot to find me these days, and he had some solid points in support of the idea.

You gotta show up. Pack your gear, get dressed, and go. Last weekend's range trip was super windy and freezing, despite the sunshine. I started the day out demoralized, struggled through a gun problem and with the challenging weather, and wanted to pack it in. But, I'm working towards a goal. No one is going to get me there but me, and I made myself stay and do the work. I pulled out my shot timer, list of timed drills, changed out gear, and grabbed my trusty competition gun, and worked out some draws from concealment, reloads and a few Bill Drills. Measurable metrics are essential to tracking ..read more
