Failure points
The other very big problem is our society is so messed up when it comes to our egos: Being too proud to admit a mistake or that we have anything to learn is not just vanity. It's life threatening.
It's not enough to identify failure. Failure points must be broken down, scrutinized and critically studied without ego so that every nuance, mechanic and intent is understood. It's not only essential to fail sometimes but it is critical to an individual's growth and maturity, on the range or off.
On the range, it's time to push till we fail. Shoot as fast as we can till we miss. Move as hard as we can till we drop. When a student isn't pushing to their failure point, they are not training.
