Both Robert and I recently ordered and have now read Michael Seeklander’s new book, “The Low Light Fight – Shooting, Tactics, Combatives.” We thought it worthwhile to provide a brief review here for our readers. Seeklander subtitled his new book, “How to Win in a Low Light Environment.” Indeed, this is an apt description of […]

However, I would caution against discarding out of hand the notion […]
This past weekend, along with Robert, I had the opportunity to attend Greg Ellifritz’s Active Response Training one day Extreme Close Quarters Gunfighting class. As noted in Robert’s AAR, the class was hosted by John Murphy of FPF Training in Culpeper, VA. Like Robert, my only affiliation with the above organizations is as a paying […]
