The Brain Range

07/18/2026

Most fi****ms training develops mechanics. Brain Range develops the brain behind the trigger.

My friend Lance from Chambered Round recently tested the new Brain Range app ahead of its upcoming launch. We worked through several drills using different features, and this particular task used our **Find the Threat** mode.

In the drill, Lance had to:

🧠 Identify the color assigned to the threat
👁️ Find the corresponding colored circle
🗣️ Say a word that started with the letter connected to that color
🎯 Draw from concealment and take the shot

What looks like a simple shooting drill actually combines several cognitive and physical demands at once.

He had to hold information in working memory, visually scan for the correct target, retrieve a word, communicate it, make a decision, and execute the draw and shot from a concealed position.

Drawing from concealment adds another layer of difficulty because it requires fine motor control, focus, body positioning, and clean ex*****on while the brain is already under increased cognitive load.

That is the purpose of Brain Range: not to replace fi****ms mechanics, but to challenge the cognitive skills that support performance under pressure.

• Working memory
• Visual processing
• Threat identification
• Decision-making
• Verbal recall
• Fine motor control
• Cognitive-motor integration

In real-world performance, the brain and body do not operate separately.

We train them together. Think As You Shoot

Most fi****ms training develops mechanics. Brain Range develops the brain behind the trigger.

This drill progressively increases both cognitive and physical load.

🧠 Stage 1: Identify the threat target and engage the correct color.
👁️ Stage 2: Recall a word that begins with the vowel assigned to that color, challenging working memory while maintaining visual awareness.
🏃 Stage 3: Add movement to the next cone, requiring the brain to process visual scanning, decision-making, memory retrieval, communication, and movement—all at the same time.

Each progression increases cognitive load—the amount of mental effort required to complete a task. Instead of training shooting mechanics in isolation, you’re strengthening the cognitive skills that support performance under pressure:

• Threat discrimination
• Visual attention
• Working memory
• Decision-making
• Cognitive flexibility

In real tactical environments, you’re rarely doing just one thing. You’re processing information, communicating, moving, and making split-second decisions simultaneously.

That’s why we train the brain—not just the trigger finger.

Train the mind. Perform under pressure.

Mind.Body.1. Team putting their minds to the test. 🧠💪

Today’s Brain Range drill combines working memory, physical fatigue, reaction time, decision-making, agility, and accuracy into a single challenge.

🔹 Memorize a 7-digit sequence (Item Span Test)
🔹 Complete a 100-meter row
🔹 Engage six FitLight targets
🔹 Each light flashes red, green, or blue, with each color directing movement to a different cone before taking the shot
🔹 Average reaction time is recorded throughout the drill
🔹 After the final target, recall the 7-digit sequence—in the correct order—within 10 seconds

This isn’t just about moving fast. It’s about maintaining cognitive performance when your body is under stress.

Research consistently shows that physical exertion competes for cognitive resources. As fatigue increases, working memory, processing speed, attention, and decision-making can decline. Training both systems together helps individuals develop the ability to think clearly, remember accurately, and make quality decisions even when they’re physically taxed.

At Brain Range, we don’t just train the body or the brain—we train the connection between them.

Train the brain. Stress the body. Perform under pressure.

Last nights “Ladies Shoot Your Shot” event Went Great! Here Nicole gets a score of 11/12 lights and an average reaction time of 2.28 secs. Great job thinking before she shoots 😉. ***k

Here at we also apply scientific measures to evaluate performance through data and experimentation. The goal for task such as this one would be to assess cognitive performance (executive functions) and compare those baselines to the shooting task. We would want to see if the additional working memory load would effect shooting performance. We saw here not only did my shooting deteriorate but also my mental capacity. We know that stress and higher cognitive load can impair performance but let’s investigate further. GET YOUR MIND RIGHT and THINK BEFORE YOU SHOOT!

So one of the main things people comment about our guns is that they aren’t “real guns”. Obviously there’s no replacing a real firearm but that isn’t the mission here at The Brain Range. Our goal is to stimulate a variety of mental components involving similar mechanisms as you’d encounter when handling a fire arm. When doing our drills we add a component found no where else in the world. So if you want to deal with a real gun we encourage you to do so as our training is to meant to complement your live fire training. The Brain Range is another aspect of the many possibilities to take your training to the next level so remember THINK BEFORE YOU SHOOT! ***k
