This past weekend, I spent two days at the gun club where I’m a member taking part in a Project Appleseed event. This class took place shortly after the April 19th anniversary of “the shot heard around the world.” This is an important point, as the Appleseed Project is fundamentally based on Revolutionary War history […]

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve been sitting on this post since I first penned it in October of 2018. My opinion has evolved somewhat over that time, but hasn’t fundamentally changed. So, I’m going to go ahead and share it here. In discussing the best zero for a carbine (AR-15, etc.), I think […]
It is great to sit down and FINALLY write this article that has been over a year in the making. Having said that, this article will serve as a bit of a monument to my thinking at this time, and no doubt the items described as well as the possible uses for this bag will […]
At the height of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Gunsite Proshop put their books and videos on sale. I took advantage of the sale prices and ordered three DVDs (as of this writing, they are still on sale). I ordered the Gunsite 250 Pistol, the Gunsite 223 Carbine, and the Gunsite 40th Anniversary DVDs. I […]
A carbine course with a twist. Those are just my words. This course caught my eye as soon as it was listed back around New Years because it seemed like something just a little bit different than a “standard” carbine course. The course is called “Compact Carbine Deployment”. Here is the course description: This course […]
As in years past, this past weekend I was able to attend the opening day of the NRA Great American Outdoor Show held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA. We made it an overnight trip this year, a much easier proposition than leaving at 0300 and getting back near midnight. I know […]
Similar to recent posts by Robert, I thought I might share a brief year in review and some thoughts on the coming year. 2019 was not nearly as tough on me as it was on Robert, but it has not been without its challenges. In but one example of this, I did not make it […]
Last week, I was fortunate enough to get to train with Bill Rapier again. For those that may not know, Rapier is a retired Nayy SEAL and the owner and lead instructor of Amercian Tactical Shooting Instruction, LLC. Back in 2017, both Robert and I attended his Integrated Combatives course in Pennsylvania. I didn’t make […]
Something that a fellow blogger and reader of the blog mentioned on our Facebook page got my brain in gear again… in response to my recent updated carbine set up article, he posed a statement and question regarding choice of optic and reasonable expectations of use contrasted with typical training environments. This isn’t so much […]
