Shooting Tips & How-To

Shooting Drills: Hold drill for draw mechanics and reaction time

Shooting Drills: Hold drill for draw mechanics and reaction time

I prefer 2 part drills. Even if it’s one string of fire, I try to find a way to part it out. Like how I did on the Bill Drill. This one is two part in a different way. The Hold Drill teaches and tests at the same time. I’m sure I’m not the first […]

How to build an AR-15 | Advanced upgrade options: Part 1

How to build an AR-15 | Advanced upgrade options: Part 1

It’s always interesting to see which articles really resonate with readers on our site.  Some reviews and “How-to’s” fade quickly while others stay popular for years.  One such article is “How to build an AR-15: A Beginner’s Guide” by Nate Schultz.  It was published in July of 2017 and still regularly registers enough clicks to […]

Dual Weapons Deployment: The future of combatives

Dual Weapons Deployment: The Future of Combatives

Not every encounter or engagement is going to be a static target 25 yards away. Most attacks happen within what’s called the combative bubble. If you were to draw a circle around yourself that was 7 yards from your centerline, that is your combative bubble. Anything that happens within this 7 yards will more likely […]

“The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle.” General John Pershing, U.S. Army. No matter what their MOS is, every Marine is a rifleman.

22 Reloader - Rimfire Reloading?

22 Reloader – Rimfire Reloading?

Is it possible to reload 22 Long Rifle rimfire ammunition? If you had asked me a few weeks ago I would have said no. In general, I didn’t think rimfire could be reloaded due to rimfire priming. However, a company called 22 Reloader has introduced a kit that makes it possible. The 22 Reloader kit […]

Body Armor and Head Shots

Body Armor and Head Shots

Unfortunately, we’ve seen more loss of life due to mass attacks and school shootings than we care to talk about. The details are often blurry, but from what I’ve read and sifted through it appears that several of the shooters were wearing body armor of some type. When a bad guy starts shooting and they […]

Firearms Training - Ground Gunfight

Firearms Training: The Ground Gunfight

When it comes to firearms training we should all practice from a variety of positions. Most of us practice from the standing, and maybe even the kneeling if the range allows it. Something that is often overlooked is fighting from the ground. The most important term in gunfighting is fighting. It should never be forgotten […]

Opinion | Trigger Jerk is Not a Myth, You're just compensating

Opinion | Trigger Jerk is Not a Myth, You’re just compensating

First off, let me say I’m not here to compare resumes or try and distract from John “Shrek” McPhee in any way. If you take my years in the military and contracting and multiply them by three, that’s John’s years. This is an article about nuance and fundamentals. Shrek recently put out a video of […]

SOB Tactical | Trigger Jerk is a Myth and here is a test to prove it
