When preparing and shooting a station, something that Joe describes uniquely compared to most other shooters are his 3 phases. These 3 phases that he describes are the approach phase, execution phase, and his reinforcement phase.
It’s interesting to see how Gebben, Karen and Joe all approach target slightly different, and yet, they’re all world champions. The episode creates a lot of excitement for what’s to come in future videos!
