💡 KEY TRAINING TAKEAWAYS:The episode centers on one critical message: Mastery requires continuous practice, regardless of skill level.

Real example from the range:

• Former Delta Force operator (most elite military in the world) takes low-light training with Brandon
• Adds no-shoot targets behind shoot targets
• Delta operator stops and thinks: "I haven't trained this in forever"
• His response: "I'm so happy you put this in. What scares me is people who pick up a gun and think 'I'm a guy, so I know how to shoot' without any training."

The lesson: If the world's most elite operators are begging for more training, everyone needs it.
