Continuing Firearms Education and Where to Get It
As many of you know, I consider it very important that anyone who carries a gun for self and family defense get proper training.

Video: Russian Special Forces shooting drill | Not for the faint of heart
The following video is an advanced shooting drill run by the Russian FSB Alpha teams. Although the video is almost 3 years old, it’s too insane not to share.

The Vickers Sling | A First Look
What is new is old. That might not be exactly fair to say about the Vickers sling due to its designer, Larry Vickers. When I hit the tactical shooting scene in 2009 it was all three points and one points. Two point slings were for boot camp and the parade deck. They were old school. […]
