Caylen and Phil catch up after being on the road for classes. They discuss some after-action items that they noticed in their last batch of classes at Volusia County Gun Club. Things like rifle setup, improperly installed scope levels, and the nuances of the grip of the firing and trigger control were the trends in the Intro class. The conversation moves into the mindset of the competitor, what we should and should not be focusing on, and how to get back to center. They wrap it up with a wavetop overview of the new KRG C-4 chassis that has just been released.
