Keep repeating these “non-shooting” exercises, until the student gets bored and tired of being mentally prepared. About the 15th time you hold a training session, “BAM” without warning go hot. See how well you engage then. That’s what real life is like. No one can stay in condition orange and red all the time. Sooner or later you have to go back to white.

I like to think my training will build a "muscle memory" of sorts... kind of like dry fire. Makes the "correct motion" the reaction to stress instead of panic. It has to be better preparation than sitting on the couch watching Fox News... you think?
