Our CEO Mike Farrell had a great talk with Terry Vaughan, host of Making Shooters Better. Please watch and share.

What does airline safety culture have to do with fi****ms training? A lot more than you might think.

In this episode, airline pilot and training innovator Mike Farrell shares how starting shooting later in life—and flying jets for a living—reshaped how he thinks about safety, habits, and performance under pressure.

✈️ Lessons from the cockpit meet the range:
• Why fundamentals matter more than advanced drills
• How stress exposes bad habits instantly
• The OODA loop and real-world decision-making
• Why bad reps are so hard to undo
• How simple feedback tools can improve safety

Mike also tells the unforgettable story of buying and importing a Russian jet trainer—and how that experience reinforced the value of systems, discipline, and humility.

👉 Watch the full episode and train smarter, not louder.
