Randomized Training for Consistency: Tim Herron's System.

World Shoot 2024 gold medalist Tim Herron has spent the last 12 months building his entire training cycle around it, and the results showed up where they matter: under the buzzer in South Africa. In a long-form sit-down with GreyBeard Actual on Greyhive, Tim broke down the system he's now in his second year refining with coach Eric — a system built on one core idea: consistency, not personal records, is the real measure of a shooter's progression. Repetition has its place, but most shooters spend 80% of their range time there and wonder why their match performance never tracks their practice numbers. This guide pulls the actionable framework directly from Tim's process — how he splits isolation from randomization, how he uses hit factor as his governor, his round counts, his dry-to-live ratios, and where most B-class and intermediate shooters are leaving the most progress on the table. Key Takeaways Tim Herron shot ~65,000 rounds in 2025 in prep for World Shoot — and won team gold using consistency-based randomized training, not PR-chasing repetition. Randomization rule: shoot any stage or sequence one way, then never repeat it the same …
