How to Build a Repeatable Shot Process - The Shooter's Checklist | The Cadre Advanced Course 2026

Phillip Velayo walks through the full Cadre Shooter's Checklist live on the line during an Advanced Course in San Diego County, CA — covering every step from orienting and grounding the rifle through follow-through, bolt manipulation, and rebuilding for the next shot. This isn't theory. It's the exact sequence used to build unconscious competence under pressure. Topics covered: -Orienting and grounding the rifle in prone and off barricades -Body position: hip alignment, rifle-to-shoulder connection, and jaw weld -The aiming process: parallax, natural point of aim, and wobble zone -Building the target package: scope check, distance, cross-up, and elevation dial -The firing sequence mantra and how to execute it under pressure -Follow-through, lag time, and observing hits or misses -Bolt manipulation: staying in the battery and keeping the reticle on target -Recoil management: forward load vs. neutral vs. pull-back and when each applies -Rebuilding positions between shots and why it matters Whether you're competing in PRS or NRL, hunting at distance, or just trying to stop breaking down under pressure when it counts — the Shooter's Checklist gives you a sequence you can actually execute every time.
