That Shooting Show With Steve Anderson is built for competitive shooters who want their practice to survive contact with a real stage. Steve Anderson talks fast, argues with bad habits, and keeps returning to the same core demand: know what the shot was, not just where the hole appeared. The show is deeply rooted in USPSA-style performance, with regular detours into IPSC, IDPA-type props, dry fire, classifiers, and the strange mental weather of match day. It is not a calm clinic. It is a working coaching session with jokes in the margins and hard corrections in the middle. A drill is rarely just a drill here. The doubles drill becomes a debate about predictive shooting, acceptable hits, speed of sight, and whether a shooter is learning anything useful or just collecting neat targets. Speed is treated with the same suspicion. Moving faster only matters when match mode, subconscious stage planning, and visual discipline are already doing their jobs. The show spends serious time on the mental game, including pressure, over-confirmation, journaling, and the problem of trying to execute negatives. Steve Anderson likes practical reframes. If a shooter says the mental game is most of the sport, the show asks why the training budget and attention span do not reflect that claim. Guest segments broaden the lane without changing the temperament. Keita Bussey brings stage planning, movement, flow, and a step-by-step way to read a stage before the shooting starts. Her segments are concrete, especially when she talks through counting targets, checking briefings, and adapting plans for different rule sets. Dave Sevigny appears as a guest in a more interview-forward episode, with the conversation starting from name pronunciation and being off the radar for a while. The show also has plenty of gear and class talk, including Walther, CR Speed, Targets USA, timers, eyewear, ammunition, and live training dates. That material can be promotional, but it often folds back into the same coaching world. The real draw is the collision of instruction and impatience. This is training audio for shooters who can handle being told that slow perfect alphas are not the whole game. It rewards listeners who care about stage plans, visual information, and the uncomfortable gap between practice fantasy and match reality.
Made for: Competitive pistol shooters, USPSA and IPSC competitors, and dry-fire obsessives who want blunt coaching on speed, vision, stage planning, and mental management. It especially fits shooters comfortable with technical detail delivered at high velocity.
What sets it apart: The show turns narrow training questions into practical arguments about how shooters think, see, move, and rehearse under pressure. Its edge comes from mixing precise competitive-shooting vocabulary with impatient, funny coaching.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A doubles drill earns its keep when it teaches shooters to call the shot, not chase two perfect holes.
The question sounds simple, but Steve Anderson gives it a useful split: a doubles drill built around forcing two shots into one sight picture is a fool's errand, while one used to teach predictive shooting can still earn its place.
A blunt match-prep talk that puts speed behind subconscious stage planning.
Steve Anderson keeps the episode anchored to one plain rule: speed comes later, after match mode, when a shooter can see acceptable shots and build a stage plan without having to think through every move.
A blunt, practical take on stage plans, movement, and what still works when the timer starts.
Stage planning is treated as a real problem, not a side note. The discussion keeps coming back to memory, movement, and how a plan holds together once the timer starts.

A memorable stage plan starts with counting the targets, then has to survive the pressure of shooting.
Stage planning loses some of its mystique in this lively coaching conversation, built around a useful provocation: the guest's eleventh principle says a stage plan does not matter. The catch is what makes the idea work. The best plan is the one a shooter can actually remember.
