#149 After Dark - In The Studio With Matt Pranka & Mike Pannone

Welcome back to the Iron Sights Podcast! This episode is a special one. A week before recording, I got a call from Mike Pannone of CTT Solutions. He let me know that he and Matt Pranka of Xray Alpha would be local and teaching a course together. Somehow, we managed to get both of these legendary figures in the studio at the same time, making this episode truly unique.Mike and Matt are known for their fiery opinions and deep expertise, and they didn’t disappoint. We dive into a variety of training-specific topics, including insights into law enforcement, the impact of social media on the industry, and even Matt’s brief departure from Instagram, a hot topic that many have been curious about.Enjoy the show!Timestamps:00:00: Intro07:25: Firsthand Experience12:12: Social Media’s Role18:32: Shooting Industry Shifts26:36: Fundamentals Matter35:29: Public Conversations37:15: Experience vs. Tech Knowledge40:11: Military Training58:17: Evaluating Effectiveness01:05:38: Leadership & Development01:10:29: Standards & Accountability01:16:19: Training Challenges01:35:36: Limited Resource Training01:43:36: Goals & Fitness01:57:48: Firearms Drills02:02:15: Performance Shooting Explanation02:12:50: Final Thoughts and PlansRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/
