Gentlemen, Just dropped a PDF guide for improving your dry fire time. Check it out in the classroom. Let me know your thoughts.https://www.skool.com/grey-man-academy-3923/classroom/55027042?md=f6d863455da44bbdb30373932beaf90b

These guys know their stuff and are active in Executive Protection. Having to move about in various situations their observation skills and the ability to profile the environment in which they find themselves may be of help as you travel or have a need to protect your environment.

When Time = Life then Hesitation Kills. We live in an ever-increasing dangerous world. A world where kids are getting picked up from streets once thought safe, and more and more frequently we hear of another school, church or other “Mass Shooting Incident”. It is a hard truth to accept that our own safety is not simply a factor of how we live. We can often mitigate how much danger we incur as a whole, simply by not doing Stupid things, with Stupid people at Stupid times in Stupid places. However, as many innocent victims in recent crime statistics will tell you, you can do everything right and still be targeted by villains. And life-threatening danger, like it or not, can always knock on our door. Even without ever interacting with criminal elements, far too many people are affected by roadway accidents, or injuries at work where conditions and our local environment seem to have it out for us. Something as innocuous as falling off a roof or slipping from a ladder has shattered the lives of some that could have been mitigated if more people would have Proactive COA’s. According to the Military a COA is; Definition: Course of Action (COA) In incident-level decision making, a Course of Action (COA) is an overall plan that describes the selected strategies and management actions intended to achieve Incident Objectives, comply with Incident Requirements, and are based on current and expected conditions. What is a Proactive COA? Example listed below. It is definable action taken, if/when something happens. A Course Of Action that is preestablished so that you act with intentionality. Specific and timely actions that do not necessitate prior thought. If A, then B. If as in this example, you see someone who’s unmistakably an operator while on the run, (and you happen to be a Navy SEAL commander that’s been targeted as the fall man for a criminal ambush of several US service members) then it’s not time to consider what to do. It’s simply a time to act. Namely, confront said individual in a way that reveals his true identity.

In this video, I take you through a complete steel challenge stage, running it 5 consecutive times to demonstrate the balance between speed and accuracy - and what happens when you push too hard. 🎯 *The Experiment:* Watch as I progressively increase my speed with each run, building confidence and shaving time off my stage time. But there's a lesson in the final run when I get greedy with speed and learn exactly where my skill ceiling currently sits. ⏱️ *Run Breakdown:* • Run 1: Baseline - Safe and steady • Run 2: Slight speed increase, maintained accuracy • Run 3: Finding the rhythm, time drops • Run 4: Personal best territory, everything clicking • Run 5: The wheels fall off - speed without precision (In this competition it didn't matter because the worst time wasn't counted) 📊 *Key Learning Points:* - How to methodically build speed while maintaining hits - The importance of having a process vs. just "going fast" - Why missing costs you more time than slightly slower accurate shots - Finding your current skill ceiling and respecting it - The mental game when you're on a good streak 🧠 *The Mental Side:* Notice how confidence from good runs can lead to overconfidence. The final run shows what happens when you abandon your fundamentals in pursuit of speed. This is exactly how you should practice - push your limits, find your failure point, then back off 10% for your sustainable pace. ⚠️ *Training Tip:* In practice. it's good to push and find you're failure point, but during competition or when it matters most, you should run about 90% of your potential so you don't find your failure point. This video shows why!
