The Mental Side of Shooting with Olympic Biathlete Paul Schommer

About this episode

Tyler Webster interviews Olympic biathlete Paul Schommer about the mental aspects of shooting and his recent hunting experiences.

One of the wildest things that has happened through this podcast is the people I have got to meet. A few years ago I got a Instagram message from Paul Schommer I later found out after talking to him that he was a member of the USA Olympic Team. Now, I am thankful to call him a friend! He has literally been back in the states from his second trip to the Olympics this winter. His second stop after being back from Italy was here in North Dakota for spring turkey season. We spend some time recapping his hunts this week. Spoiler alert.....he tagged out! We really spend a lot of time digging into the mental side of shooting.
