Recently I set out to find where the firearms industry was at regarding training in Virtual Reality (VR). I’m not interested in gun collection games or zombie shoot-em-ups, I’m talking about something that can add to (but not replace) live fire and dry fire reps. The last statement up there is an important one. When […]
The Bill Drill. Originally developed by Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat, it’s my go-to concealed carry drill. It tests almost everything you need to be proficient at for concealed carry. The only one better is the El Presidente. Simply put, the drill is draw and fire 6 on target under time. Traditionally this was done […]
PROVO, UTAH â November 14, 2018 â Action Target Inc., the leading manufacturer of modern shooting ranges, steel targets and shooting supplies, has developed the AutoTargets Bullet Trap Lifter (BTL) to provide an improved method of training for military and law enforcement in shoot houses. The BTL mounts directly to the Portable Bullet Trap and recognizes, reacts to, and records […]

The SIRT Pocket Pistol variant of the SIRT […]

Their argument back was basically âWhat distance does the average gunfight happen at?â and I have some issues with that line of logic. Allow me to explain […]
Firearm safety is a fundamental thing we should talk about whenever firearms are around. It can get boring if we do this by saying the same words over and over in a mantra of protection. Rule One: All guns are always loaded. Rule Two: Never let the muzzle cover anything which you are not willing […]
The SIRT Pocket Pistol variant of the SIRT simulates sub compact pistols and comes with all the things you know and love from previous SIRTs. The Pocket Pistol comes with a fully adjustable trigger module and two lasers. A feature of the SIRT that makes it more interesting for dry fire training is its shot […]
A couple years ago, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some of my favorite targets (Iâll tell you about them sometime soon) but they were out. I had my Malinois with me, and we used the garden exit so she wouldnât have to walk on hot pavement any more than necessary. Pool noodles were on saleâŠcheapâŠand I […]
