In this episode of the EvoSec Podcast, tactical twins Eric & Aaron welcome Mark Smith of JBS Training Group. Mark shares his amazing rise from everyday gun owner to USPSA Grandmaster, the critical role of mental management in shooting (and life), and why most training fails to produce real results. Deep dives into effective dry/live fire practice, self-diagnosis, why gear won’t buy skill, and practical precision with gas guns and barricades. Packed with actionable advice, training philosophy, and mindset shifts that can transform your performance—plus a fun music chat at the end.
