Cush and Breezy are joined by Tess Salb, a trailblazer and former Olympic Development athlete who brings a unique, high-level perspective to the firearms world. Tess details her journey starting at age twelve, her experience with international pistol shooting, and her transition into action sports like 3-Gun after being "discovered" at a national championship. She breaks down the three pillars of her Armed Athlete Academy (Fitness, Firearms, and Mindset), emphasizing that simple, consistent training trumps extreme workouts. Tess provides invaluable advice for both new and experienced shooters on building confidence, the proper use of dry fire training, and why focusing on blank targets can drastically improve your consistency.
