I look forward to working with clients with their marksmanship skills.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58d5af0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"58d5af0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Philosophy\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52f1317 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"52f1317\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>[Kaizen](<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kaizen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kaizen&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1712840479059000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1kXAg6PnSUNnqDNLeDEr_a\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kaizen<\/a>) \u2013 always improving, always learning<\/li><li>[Tsundoku](<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tsundoku\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tsundoku&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1712840479059000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2SuOBXipXD7DNV3pRqkT5T\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tsundoku<\/a>) \u2013 too many books, not enough time<\/li><li>There are no advanced skills, only fundamentals mastered (Bruce Lee, paraphrased)<\/li><li>Prioritize and Execute (Jocko Willink)<\/li><li>Keep it Simple (Jenkins, Spaulding)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b94dd62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"b94dd62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
