Hearing and eye protection are two necessities that should be in every range bag. The sound of a gunshot is so damaging to the human ear that protecting it must be a top priority if you shoot regularly. There are several companies out there offering hearing protection for shooters. From simple foam earplugs to ear muffs […]
Have a Blast Shooting Bring back the fun of shooting with Firebird Targets pyrotechnic exploding targets. Use them to improve marksmanship, provide instant hit recognition, for situational training and more – but don’t forget the fun. Found at SHOT Show 2019 SHOT Show 2019 was fun and a bit overwhelming as usual with the plethora […]
I’m really tired of ammo cans and how awkward they are. I’ve been trying to find an alternative that will take up less space and won’t have as much wasted space. I know there’s a ton of companies that make up bags specific to shooting sports and holding ammo. But I wanted to see if […]
I recently purchased an ancient Cobray M11/9 for a killer deal for an upcoming Retro Wave 3 gun match here in Florida. It came with one, old school Zytel plastic magazine. Lord knows how old it is. I knew for the match I’d need a few spares and I didn’t want Zytel, so imagine how […]
Never in the history of SOFREP Radio has there been a more requested guest in my experience than Pat McNamara. We were glad to deliver.

I’ve featured a large number of AR15 parts from V Seven Weapons Systems in build articles on this site. The reason is simple, they are at the bleeding edge of AR parts quality. This stems from their investment in high-tech alloys (such as 2055 lithium-aluminum, titanium and magnesium blends) as well as a commitment to excellence. However, […]

To start, this is a pro-bono position where you will do video reviews covering firearms and gear that you currently own, documenting what you like or dislike about it, and why. This can be done via iPhone/smartphone or higher end cameras. For examples, check out our […]
As always, I am a huge proponent of carrying and using whatever you have at your disposal. However depending on how you’re trained or how your brain works, because we are all different, certain firearms can be more conducive to your shooting skills than others. That being said I have my own personal standards for […]
n a few recent articles, I’ve covered a number of different shooting drills one can do to improve their shooting speed, accuracy, and target discernment. Today, I’d like to take a more in-depth look at one of them, “dot torture”. This specific drill was created by David Blinder of Personaldefensetraining.com. It’s an excellent accuracy drill […]
