Professional Gear Reviews
I’m sure at one point or another you’ve heard the expression, “shoot, move and communicate.” So, what’s the deal with the “move”? Movement is so critical, those who can effectively and quickly maneuver on the battlefield any battlefield have a huge advantage. The problem is that you can’t expect a static range stance to do […]
***Be sure to watch the featured video before reading on.*** The more we are around weapons, we tend to somehow get a little too comfortable or lackadaisical. Â I’ve seen it happen more often that not on the range when individuals start to get a little too comfortable and make minor stupid mistakes, like finger on […]
Within the shooting world, this is one of the most sought after questions. Which is more important?… and the honest truth is that they are of equal importance and the ultimate goal should be to bring both of these into balance at their highest level of performance. What so many misunderstand about speed is they […]
In addition to Nick’s article on Shocking Facts About Gun Fights I’d like to elaborate a bit more about the topic.

Great information! When I was an 18B I used to teach this information to my ODA. There are third world soldiers walking around with magazines full of bad ammo because they loaded a bad lot number. You don’t want that to happen to you so it’s important to be able to decipher the markings on […]
