Visual Patience for faster hits—how to take your time and be quick about it…

Talk about a contradiction in terms! How can you be patient in a hurry? And what is visual patience? Visual patience is simply waiting until you can see to take action.

Don’t make this expensive (and potentially deadly) Dry Fire Mistake… (picture!)

The story I’m going to share with you today could have been bad…VERY bad. A shooter in a group I’m a part of posted a picture of the aftermath of a negligent discharge that he had and some of the damage that happened. (Yes…he gave me permission to use his picture, but I still blurred…

What’s The best place to conceal with the quickest draw time?

I got a great question from Douglas after he signed up for our Praxis counter-ambush and counter-assault training… “What’s the best place, with the shortest draw time to conceal my pistol?” It’s a great question, but it’s a little more complicated than it may seem. As an example, the best place I’ve found to carry…

Home defense is a serious concern for most Americans. And it’s gotten more serious as police departments are increasingly under-staffed. Add to that the increase in prison releases, and widespread increases in violence that we’re seeing and it adds up to a need to prepare.   But there are myths about home defense—dangerous myths—that just…
