Red Dots, Draw Speeds, and Mindset: GBRS Breaks Down Real-World Shooting

On this episode of the Taking Aim podcast, Rich sits down with Cole Fackler and Joey Hahn from GBRS Group to discuss their unique approach to firearms and tactical training, as well as the deeper principles behind leadership and personal development. They explain how their curriculum has evolved to serve a wide range of students—from everyday civilians to elite military units—while always returning to foundational skills. The conversation highlights the importance of adaptability in training, offering students options rather than rigid doctrine, and emphasizes the role of mindset, situational awareness, and purposeful repetition in developing real-world capability. Cole and Joey also reflect on leadership learned from military experience, noting that true leadership is about growth, mentorship, and preparing others to eventually take your place. Whether discussing concealed carry habits, red dot transitions, or how to build a more resilient team culture, the episode underscores GBRS’s mission to train with intent, develop others, and lead by example.Follow GBRS on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbrsgroup/?hl=enFollow Cole on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbrsgroup/?hl=enFollow Joey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beardedfrogman/?hl=enFollow Rich Nance on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/ and https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@AimpointUSAVisit Aimpoint.com to learn more: https://www.aimpoint.com/ PRODUCED BY IRONCLAD
