What High-Level Training Really Gives You (ft. Farewell Firearms)
About this episode
This week, John and Kailey sit down with Joe Farewell, former law enforcement officer, SWAT sniper team leader, competitive shooter, and Team USA gold medalist at the IPSC Rifle World Shoot.
Joe breaks down what it really takes to compete at the highest level of practical shooting, what shooting internationally is like, and how dry fire became the foundation of his success. We also dive into the difference between competition and “real world” training, why most shooters misunderstand advanced classes, and the truth about gear vs. skill.
