In this episode, Caylen sits down with Francis Colon for a recap of the MDT Barrel Burner 2026 PRS Pro Match held at The Leadfarm in Washington State. They dive into the realities of high-level precision rifle performance, unpacking what it actually takes to compete, improve, and stay consistent under pressure. Their conversation moves beyond surface-level tactics into the mental and procedural side of shooting—covering everything from disciplined training habits and long-term decision-making to managing gear, building effective target reference points, and navigating rapidly changing wind conditions. Through detailed match breakdowns and candid reflections on both successes and failures, they highlight a central theme: performance is built through intentional focus, structured practice, and the ability to adapt in real time. Whether discussing the pitfalls of overcomplicating equipment, the importance of stress inoculation, or the value of maintaining a positive, growth-oriented mindset, this episode offers a clear look at the grind behind mastery—and what it truly means to evolve as a rifleman.
