Hey, everyone! I'm Ryan G, the founder of Warrior Cloud.io, and today I'm going to talk about one of my students, Francisco, and how persistence helped him master his shooting skills.
I remember the first time I met Francisco; he was one of the students in our Beginner's Guide to Firearms course. I could tell immediately that he was not at the same level as the other students regarding his skillset and understanding of shooting fundamentals. I was worried that he might accidentally shoot someone, so I had him shoot alone while I stood close to him. It was terrifying to watch him shoot because I thought I might die that day.
But despite his initial struggles, Francisco attended our Sheep Dog Challenge and bought a big package of shooting and training classes from me worth over a thousand dollars. One of the core offers was the 30-Day Dry Fire Kickstart, where students had to attend a dry fire drill every day and post a video of themselves doing it in a members-only community.
Out of dozens of people who bought the package, only four did the homework and posted the videos. Francisco was one of them, and he did it every single day. He also started coming to the range with me consistently, every week or every other week, until he finished his whole package.
Although he struggled for the first four or five lessons and wasn't that accurate, something shifted in Francisco's mind during his eighth lesson, and he began to understand the fundamentals. From then on, he progressed rapidly, and I am proud to say he is now one of my best students.
But what if Francisco had given up after his first lesson? What if he had said, "Learning how to shoot a gun is not for me, and I'm just going to give up"? Many people would have done exactly that. They would have quit after the first failure and missed the opportunity to master a valuable skill.
That's why persistence is so important. If you want to master any skill, whether shooting or something else entirely, you must keep moving forward, no matter how much you suck initially. You have to trust the process and trust your instructor, and you have to do the work.
Here are five key takeaways from Francisco's story:
Start with the basics: If you're new to shooting, start with the basics. Don't expect to be a sharpshooter right away. Mastering shooting fundamentals takes time and practice.
Trust your instructor: If you have a good instructor, trust their process. They know what they're doing and can help you improve your skills.
Be persistent: Persistence is essential to mastering any skill. Don't give up after the first failure. Keep practicing and improving.
Use dry fire drills: Dry fire drills are an excellent way to improve your shooting skills. They help you develop muscle memory and improve your accuracy.
Overcome your fear: Shooting can be scary, especially if you're new to it. But don't let fear hold you.
