Episode 146: Weapon Striking & Failure Points – with Mike Seeklander
Riley sits down with and interviews Mike Seeklander, owner of Shooting-Performance.com, founder of the American Warrior Society and the American Warrior Society Podcast, former federal agent and instructor, Marine, and as seen on Outdoor Channel’s “The Best Defense”. We talk about a bunch of stuff–growing up in the backwoods, bear attacks, weapon striking, the failure point cycle, how to push yourself to maximize your training time and continue to “level up” in your skills. If there’s anybody that understands this stuff, it’s Mike Seeklander. Trust me, you’re going to wanna listen to this “truth-bomb” episode today.
