      I live on a gun range private club that my grandparents were founding members of & missed out on one on one instruction from them & my dad. I have returned as an adult & I can aim decent at 25 yards with action pistol. I have to shoot two handed-got carpal tunnel & probably a bit of nerve damage, & my fingers are short. I do best shooting my rounds without stopping vs 1 shot & resting. Sometimes I'm hitting target like a pro getting many 9 & 10 pointers, & sometimes my shots are outside the center I'm aiming for by two inches in all directions of the center.
      Where am I screwing it up?
      Am I holding gun too firmly or too loosely making in recoil or bounce away from my goal?

      Nobody thinks of or cares about such consequences. Not like it's her fault her dad was a douche, but she has to bear the sin of the father if you will.
      Everyone just moves on and forgets and nobody tries to help the children. Often, these kids would prefer an abusive parent than being in foster. If you've ever known anyone who's been in that system, you'd understand. Even researchers are coming to that conclusion (at least in some cases).

I was trying to explain how the cop that killed her father while she was restrained by her father using her as a shield, not only killed her father but basically (killed her) ruined her life too! The police/law enforcement, seldom seem to think of that aspect! Her life is ruined, likely something she will never be able to deal with, creating two casualties...from one gunshot!

    This guy is spitting truth. You can always find someone who’s solved the problem before, but did they “blueprint it?” That takes what I call “The Teaching Gene.” Some people have it, some don’t. Some people just know how THEY figured it out, but can’t teach it and frankly don’t have the skills to teach it, analytically, verbally, interactively. I grew up with a teacher/coach as a father, so I just naturally got to see how he processed it. I was lucky.

      Gay lmao. Yes go thank the CIA for their service in bringing meth and fentanyl over the border to justify this guys job and the bs legal system and prison system. Save your tears for somebody else like the Americans imprisoned for being led into the capital by police.

    Thanks for the content, Joe. You’ve captivated my interests since your work on Fear Factor (It still streams on Samsung TV). With spectacular guests and great communication, your podcasts also continue to be entertaining. Great work!

    I've taking Joel's Shot IQ course and been lucky enough to meet him at Ryan Lamper's Western Hunting Summit course. Joel's an amazing teacher and stand up dude. Awesome to see him on JRE. 💯
