About This Episode:
In this episode, I revisit my interview with Rob Leatham, a renowned figure in shooting sports, recorded in June 2017. Titled “Jerk the Trigger the Right Way,” we explore key shooting techniques, particularly trigger control and gun alignment.
Rob distinguishes between competitive shooting and self-defense, emphasizing mental adaptability under pressure. He introduces the idea of embracing recoil for better performance and shares practical training methods for effective trigger control.
With insights drawn from his career and collaborations, Rob offers valuable lessons for shooters at all levels. Tune in for this informative re-release with a true expert in the field.
As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!

| 0:41.0 | interviews we've ever done on the podcast with a guest, which was done back in June of 2017. |
| 0:48.1 | So it no longer appears in the active podcast feed. I think the feed only allows for the last |
| 0:54.1 | 500 episodes and, well, we for the last 500 episodes and well, |
| 0:55.7 | we're well past 500 episodes. But anyway, this is an interview I did with Rob Latham and it is just |

| 1:07.1 | Jerk the trigger the right way. And jerking the trigger on your handgun is a |

| 1:59.5 | content, including, it used to be that for Guardian Nation members, |
