The GunLife Coach

I’m making the shot by holding my phone in one hand join my gun and aligning my sights and then slowly looking away back at the camera so I cannot see the gun and still making the shot at about 40 to 50 yards with a Glock 17 9mm. Don’t try this at home for professionals only! @cowtownrange @patriotoutdoors @thegunlifecoach

Be true to yourself, don’t fake it! Everyone will always see right through your facade! It’s okay to be an original”You”! Embrace your past, grow from it and be TG w best you can with what God gave you! Nobody likes a poser! It’s okay to come from small beginnings! Evolve your skills, Evolve Yourself!

Happy Veterans Day! Sharing my thoughts on Veterans Day. Wishing all of you veterans out there all the best. Today we salute you and show our gratitude for all the sacrifices that you made for this great country.

Today I’m discussing the fear of the bang or inoculating ourselves to the shot! Comparing shooting on the range and how we can all overcome the fears we face in life!

Bring your gun up to your eyes, not your eyes down to your gun! We do this to help us understand a number of things when we are shooting! But the same is true in life, are we keeping our heads up and focusing on what matters most? Are we shooting for our dreams or do we have our faces down in the muck and we just stay discouraged?

How appropriate to discuss our “Stance”, as I’m on the slopes, here in Breckenridge, Colorado. So relative to shooting and everyday life. Just a quick, thought provoking, impromptu video reminding us about our foundations in life!

PEARL HARBOR & YOU! December 7th, 1941... “A date which will live in Infamy!” today we remember the 3500 killed and wounded from the vicious Japanese attack and also remember the resilience of the American spirit and how we overcame amazing odds to win through the absolute victory. How are you handling yourself in those Pearl Harbor moments come in your life? What are you doing to rise above to absolute victory? Live without fear exclamation overcome adversity and become an American bad ass today!

Thoughts on Thanksgiving! Be thankful for what you have! What you’ve been through that is tempered you to make you what you have become! Good, bad, ugly and indifferent! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

We all love collecting guns and putting them in our gun safes; bragging about them to our friends and showing off how cool they look and feel! But do we utilize them for their purposes? Today I’m talking about how we have talents, abilities, and experiences that have shaped us that we have not shared with the world are used them for her own success because of our fears and failures in the past. What are you doing today to utilize what’s in your arsenal to maximize your potential?

So many times we dwell on those misses that we make on the range and failed to pay attention much to learning from them. Today we talk about learning from our misses and continuing to shoot for success in life and on the range!

So often times we place the blame on other things and people to a tribute to our own problems! We would rather play the blame game then face the realities of the changes we need to make both in life and on the range! Today I ask some compelling questions to help us improve upon ourselves so we can be our absolute best!

Be Amazing today! What if you went all in for those around you? What if you threw your heart and soul into your family, your dreams, your passions and talents, your career, your fitness goals even? What of your convictions, your faith and your friends? What if you were amazing to someone who really needed you to be? Maybe your spouse, a loved one, your children or even a total stranger? Shift your mindset! Don’t limit yourself! Be more than busy 9-5 in life! Somebody needs you to be amazing today! People are counting on you!

Understanding your trigger reset is important for your success in life and on the range! Recording this video from Mackinac Island, Michigan!

Today we talk about Minimizing our Misses and duplicating our successes in life and on the range!

Sometimes the greatest threat to our success and well-being are found within... Are we defining those things, those issues, those obstacles that hinder us from reaching our potential? It’s easier for us to define or understand the threat when it comes from outside, bad guys, evil in this world, a real enemy; but it is often more difficult to understand a threat from within, anxiety, fears of some kind, past traumas, self-doubt, insecurities? How are we not only to finding these threats but also doing what’s necessary to overcome them? And not just for our own success but to guide those who may be in need to face the same threats as you have!

In Life and On the Range! Sometimes we need to aim higher in life and on the range to make our mark, to make that shot count in life, to achieve our greatness! What are you doing to Do JUST THAT? How are you looking up to something bigger and maybe right now see that it’s impossible? Don’t set your goals too low and hit! Aim Higher! You can do more than you think!

This shot is a drill I have been practicing and executing for nearly 30years. It’s not practical but it is challenging and i have to ensure that we always maintain a completely safe range. The purpose is to prove that within reason your Sights can be aligned in many environments as well as Caleb’s trigger press and it’s not about having a good stance or much of the other fundamentals. Can you make the shot in an unconventional situation? Take away. Be safe out there!

Trust your sights; Trust Yourself! Is something we don’t trust our sights and we second guess, we end up missing our mark and there by decreasing our accuracy on our target. The same is true in life! Once we have set our sights on our goals and we’ve outlined them; then we must trust our sights and trust in ourselves to accomplish them!

Just a quick thought on focusing and executing! In Life and On the Range!

The journey through life isn’t a picnic. There are mountains and valleys we almost grow through to become the best example for those around us we climb, we fall, we stumble, we have pain and despair however we must rise again and again learning from each obstacle refining ourselves to be our best and to achieve the most out of life don’t give up!

Achievement through evolution! Becoming a little better than yesterday requires us to evolve shave off that time, shave off those habits or attitudes that don’t help us! Let’s pursue a better you, a better shooter, better man, woman, father, Mother, sister, brother, son or daughter!

Today I talk about coaching others on the range and having the shooters see me as a mirror to where I point out things that they might not necessarily see! We all have to face a mirror in life so we can be introspective and adjust for optimal performance to be a better person in life!

Today we talk about making that shot and believing in ourselves that we can not just take the shot but make the shot in life and on the range!

Want to Talk to you today about expectations! Our own expectations of our performance in conflict. Well, there’s a book out there called “on combat” by Grossman! One Hell Of a guy! In the book he speaks to “nobody rise to the occasion” we all Fall to our level of training!” did you know that the average on conflict last anywhere between 3 to 5 seconds within 3 to 5 feet or yards and the shooter has the ability hopefully Range well I don’t know if you know this or not but like people suck on the pressure if you haven’t been there done that enough you will ultimately fail!

Training & Consistency In Life and On the Range We are what we consistently say, think and do; are we not? How are you taking steps to be consistent in life and repeating those necessary steps to reach your goals and perform when needed?
