Ron Bliss from El Reno, Oklahoma joins Rick and Zach. Ron has been shooting since 1976, has shot more than 427,000 registered targets, and is the vet world singles and doubles champion. This year he won the Kinsley Doubles Marathon, taking out his traveling buddy Pat Stacy.
Ron keeps the game simple. See it, read it, then move the gun, and if you get that out of order it's a lost target. He talks about the switch Harlan says flips when you cross the 27-yard line, his student Shelby's "break the next target", what to focus on when you're nervous, and how about 380,000 of his 430,000 targets were shot one post away from Pat Stacy.
Then the fundamentals: why he holds a low gun, how Harlan's advice on his eyes turned his handicap around, his hold points, the light full choke he only takes out to clean, and the time he broke a hundred with a modified and hated it. Plus doubles titles, coin flips, and how to shoot your way out of a slump.
The back half is the mental game. "If it is to be, it's up to me," the people who helped him along the way, climbing from 94s and 95s to gaining two or three targets a thousand, and why you look forward instead of back.
