What better way to spend Tactical Tuesday than in Las Vegas at Range Day, Shot Show 2018. Huge thanks to Gatorz Eyewear for having us out! We got to hang with some awesome people and I got to shoot guns. So can’t really beat a day like that. Thanks to everyone who came out! – Nick […]
If there was ever a story from the endless war in Afghanistan that needed to be told, the story of the Horse Soldiers from the 5th Special Forces Group was it. Just weeks after the terrifying events of 9/11 played out, the Army inserted a Special Forces A-Team, ODA-595 into Afghanistan to link up with […]
Confession: I have a serious internet bro-crush on Frank Proctor, former Green Beret and current firearms instructor extraordinaire at Way of the Gun. I’ve never met the guy, but I identify with his minimalist, performance-driven approach to shooting and gear. So when I learned that Frank Proctor had designed an EDC belt, I immediately ordered […]
Whether out of the military or still in, don’t be that guy rocking an assault pack to the gym, classroom, or office. Instead, take a look at the Granite Gear Jackfish Commuter and Campus Pack.

Please do not misunderstand my position; I love and still teach traditional martial arts every […]
If you’ve ever had an AR-style rifle and tried taking your time during a precision shot, then you know the value of a smooth trigger pull. Generally speaking, the stock trigger on an AR-15 is garbage. I’ve had the same stock mil-spec style trigger in my CMMG lower receiver for years and have always hated […]
In calling the Triple Aught Design (TAD) Ranger Hoodie a 4-season jacket I am making a bold statement, but one, I believe, this remarkably versatile jacket achieves. My gear reviews focus on equipment that I believe is versatile, durable, and reliable. I have very high expectations and expect my equipment and gear to meet or […]
Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation Week 8, Day 5 Back to the gym today as we prep for the UBRR with a Chest and Triceps workout. Then a 4-mile ruck march with 45-pounds minimum. Since we’re rucking two days in a row…. It would be a great time, to wear that second pair of boots. […]
Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation Week 8, Day 4 Shoulders and back day in the gym before heading off to do a 5-mile rucksack march in under 75 minutes. Conduct the ruck over varied terrain. It will probably be a very early start here in the Northeast as we’re supposed to get hit with […]
