Recording and editing on the new Draw Stroke Mastery course is coming along quickly. We’ve got a couple hours of the course already posted in Upgraded Shooter.

4 Corners Drill -Shooting on the move — Sample drill from Dry Fire Training Cards

Pistol vs. Active Shooter With Body Armor And A Rifle? Myths & Facts
Let’s get real. Very few people want to be in a gunfight. Even special operations works hard to avoid “gunfights.” They’ll set up ambushes at the time and place of their choosing where they can use speed, surprise, and violence of action, sniping, indirect fire, grenades, charges, and flash bangs to minimize the chances of…
