In episode 432 of the SSA Podcast I talked about Dustin Salomon’s book, Building Shooters with friend and colleague Rob Morse.  Lot’s of folks had a really positive response to the episode, including the author, Dusty.  He reached out and shared some positive thoughts about the episode and was receptive to continuing the conversation and that is exactly what we do in episode 433.

Dusty, Rob and I dive into a deep conversation about firearms instruction.  We talk about all kinds of topics including:

• Dustin’s time in the Navy, “It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure!”
• What key takeaways instructors should have from this episode
• What key thoughts students should be focused on
• Why is it that Building Shooters has been needed by the firearms training industry?
• A look at the terrain of the commercial side of defensive training.
• A look at the terrain of the human brain and how it guides learning.
• Priming.  What it is and why it is important
• How the brain learns
• Short term memory and how its limits are the limits of learning
• How we can help transfer skills from the short term memory into the long term procedural memory.
• Dustin’s new book, “Mentoring Shooters”
• And a ton more!

Mike Seeklander on Building Shooters - “This book should have been written years ago.”
