In the world of practical shooting, particularity USPSA the highest level one can achieve is Grand Master, and there are very few that have earned the title. In this episode CJ sits down with Charlie Perez to talk everything practical shooting and more.  Charlie earned his Grand Master(GM) just 18 months after shooting his first match.  Now he is passing on his years of knowledge and teaching others how to be successful.  He hosts courses so anyone can come and learn, but there is one element you find in Charlie's course you probably won't find anywhere else.  Charlie is the author of a book titled The Path Of Focused Effort, and the book goes along with the class, so students can reference it both before and long after the class. The guys talk about the book, and some of the topics covered through out the book.  Like any episode of Empty Brass the guys talk about life beyond shooting and how shooting can apply in other areas of life.  Charlie takes on some of the more confusing parts of USPSA and other practical shooting organizations for a potential new shooter. If you are getting into competition or are trying to chase that next level or goal this is the episode for you.  Make sure to follow Charlie on Instagram at@bigpandaperformance
