As I’m sure everyone has heard by now, the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to impeach President Donald Trump, and Pelosi has finally deigned to deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate. I, along with many other errornet commentators, suspect that this political sham will fall along party lines, and that Donald Trump […]
After only shooting in four matches in 2019, I was excited to have the opportunity to shoot in my first IDPA match of 2020 just a few days into the new year. Hopefully, this is a harbinger of things to come. The Match The match was a little bit unusual in that it consisted of […]
Do civilians need to know ready positions? I was inspired to write this post (and start a new series of articles) by a somewhat disjointed comment made on one of Robert’s past articles. If I understand the commenter correctly, he was admonishing us for superfluously writing about ready positions when we should be focusing on […]
As I do each year, I like to get at least some general goals and objectives laid out for the year. These aren’t resolutions per se; in many cases, funds have already been paid and this is just a way for me to give our readers a sneak-peak into what I plan to do this […]
If you’ve ever read one of Robert’s end of year review blog posts, you’ve probably noticed that he keeps detailed track of round counts, personal performance goals, and achievements throughout the year. I have to confess I am not nearly as detailed in my record keeping, although I wish I was. Furthermore, it’s inarguable that […]
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 […]
Once again this year, separate from my annual “Pay to Play” article, this is what has become another tradition: looking back at my year. What goals did I achieve or fail to achieve? What surprises came up along the way? Formal Training As I predicted in my 2019 Training Goals article, I could not maintain […]
There’s not much more I can say about the latest attack on a congregation that hasn’t already been said, and it’s not even been a full 24 hours yet. I refer of course to the lone gunman who opened fire in a White Settlement, TX church and was quickly and definitively put down by an […]
Happy Holidays to all of our readers! Each of the last few years (see here, here, and here) I have written an article along these lines. Frankly, I mostly write these articles for myself, as I find it interesting (and somewhat depressing) to see how much I spent on classes and competitive matches over the […]
I had figured that my third match of 2019 would be my last, but as it happened all of the holiday “life events” my kids were involved in were stacked upon each other two weekends ago. Thus, I was happy when a friend of mine asked me if I was free to shoot in an […]
