Unity Tactical FAST Mount

As more and more people realize that the phrase “there is nothing new under the sun” also applies to shooting techniques, tactics, and equipment, presenting yourself as one of the ‘early adopters’ of one of these things has become the new “in vogue” thing to do. “No, I’m not just jumping on the 2011 bandwagon,… read more »

A Simple Explaination of Duty Pistol Caliber Terminal Ballistics

Optimal pistol wounding is caused by a balance of projectile weight, construction, size, materials, shape, and velocity (not even talking about shot placement here). Too much or too little of any variable and the projectile performs poorly. Performs poorly- being compared to HST or Gold Dot which are the current standards of optimal performance within… read more »

Tribe

A few weeks ago, on my Facebook feed, I made a statement that was not received well by some. In the follow up conversations, one word really drew the ire of the loudest detractor. That word was tribe. During an interview, the interviewer put a special tone on it every time he mentioned it. The… read more »

Sons of Liberty Gun Works MK10 Review

I recently had the opportunity to dive a bit deeper into one of the 308 battle rifles being compared for the InRangeTV/P&S collaboration video shoot.  Since Karl will be releasing plenty of high quality video content comparing the various guns, I will not get into that.

Baselines #4 Reload Drills

If you are following this series, you have seen that I lay out some baselines then some drills on how to gauge or establish that baseline. In the last article, I wrote about reloads so this one is some thoughts on how to learn or test reloads. First, let me tell you all I am… read more »

Baselines #3

Once we have our first baselines as laid out (see parts one and two) there are a ton of other skills that need to be trained, practiced and tested. Having the ability to group, zero and fire at a stationary target from a few positions does not a gunslinger make. One needs to be able… read more »

Baselines #2

Part Two In part one we talked about some standards from 0-500 with rifles. Some will argue that the standards are too loose while some will argue that they are too strict. That’s exactly why they are the standards. You can be above, at or below the standard. It’s easy to understand. Your standard shooter… read more »

Baselines

I am LE and I have a decent baseline of competency with a pistol. What would you say a good basic competency with a rifle would look like? This question was asked of me recently and I felt it would be a good time to do a series on it because I am sure many… read more »
