I’ll start by saying that I’m not an expert on petroleum, but headlines of the last few days made me want to figure out–very quickly–whether we’re really only 25 days away from running out of diesel fuel. If you’re an expert, please chime in. Here’s what I was able to figure out. The headlines saying…
The Fallacy Of “Training To The Test”
I’ve been shooting a lot of standard courses of fire lately. 5×5, FBI Qual, Casino Drill, and others. I’m trying to figure out airsoft times/distances that compare to live fire and which standards are even valuable to shoot with airsoft. Drills like these are kind of fun, but are they a good reflection of your…
Mouse fart rounds for self-defense? .22 .380 .38 .32
We’ve got an interesting mix of shooters and instructors today and people with WILDLY different needs and capabilities. As an example, the capabilities, best technique, and “best gun” for someone in their 20s-30s who is spending an hour or two a day working out and an hour or two every week JUST on their grip strength…

Event/Media Driven Training & Modified Dicken’s Drill (8″target 60yards)
I’ve got a couple of cool things for you today. First is a “drill” was created this week to commemorate Eli Dicken’s life-saving actions on Sunday at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood IN.

Distract, get off-the-x, draw from IWB concealment, AND put 2 hits on target in less than a second
This is going to be fun… Making a hit on target in under a second is a great goal. It’s relatively useless in a gunfight on it’s own, but the smoothness, efficiency, and confidence that you build in the quest for a sub-second draw is INCREDIBLY valuable. Making 2 hits on target in under a…

Last week, I had the privilege to teach at the A Girl And A Gun national conference for the 5th year in a row.

What Freedom Means To Me
“To me, freedom means being able to make decisions about how I live my life and our family lives our lives rather than having the course of our lives dictated to us. Some of the freedom that I experience is out of my control…but a lot is. One of the reasons why I prepare…why I…
SHOT 2022: 3 Examples of disruptive technology
One of the things that I look for at SHOT show is disruptive technology…not a slight change on a proven idea, but novel concepts for unique problems that cause people to think differently. There are 3 examples that I want to share: First is a non-semi auto AR from Fox Unit: Why would you want…
I want to give you instant access to a valuable PDF with 3 drills you can do with or without a pistol that will give you tighter, faster groups the next time you go to the range.
You’ll learn how to fix low-left groups, shoot better with both eyes open (even with cross-eye dominance) and make your sights come into immediate, automatic alignment with the target each time you draw.
