Mastering YOUR Rifle and Archery SHOT PROCESS - Joel Turner

Joel Turner spent 11 years as a SWAT sniper instructor before becoming one of the most well known instructors in the hunting world. His take on why hunters miss is unlike anything you've heard — and it applies equally to archery and rifle.We start with how bullets actually kill. From there we get into the pre-ignition flinch... why there's no such thing as a subconscious override of the central nervous system, what open loop vs. closed loop trigger press actually means, and why the fix isn't mechanics. The fix is speech. Joel's core argument: the skill is not in the shooting, it's in what you say in your head while you shoot.In this episode:Hydrostatic shock, the 2,200 fps threshold, and why a .22 Creedmoor can kill elkPre-ignition flinch — open vs. closed loop trigger press explainedWhy talking yourself through the shot is the actual skillThe 2014 blacktail story — how Joel figured it all out in a rainy tree standCommentary shooting from police driver training and why it works for archeryFree diving and breath holds — why that culture already knows thisHinge releases: when they're a fix for a mental problem vs. a legitimate choiceElk calling — distress calf vs. bull calling cows bugle, and the textbook bull setupThe yo stop: why a bull whirling at 10 yards is a controlled shot, not a panic shotGuest: Joel Turner — ShotIQ founder, former SWAT sniper team instructor, competitive barebow archer. Joel's elk calling app: https://www.mtnwispr.com/Shot IQ: https://shotiq.com/Instagram: @joelturner_actualChapters00:00 How Bullets Actually Kill04:44 The Flinch Mechanism34:17 The 2014 Breakthrough45:48 Commentary Shooting51:44 Snap Shots & Mental Game01:14:02 Listener Questions01:20:33 Free Diving Parallel01:41:22 Elk Calling System---FOLLOW CLIFFYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGrayInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliffPursuit With Cliff Podcasthttps://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/Hunt.
