Both John and I are wont to carry a purpose-made tourniquet on our bodies as often as possible. We both recognize the likelihood of needing medical gear is probably higher than needing our concealed pistol, and we also are aware of the efficacy of two tourniquets in particular: the North American Rescue Combat Application Tourniquet […]
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 […]
This past weekend, I was able to attend Frank Proctor Shooting’s Proctor Pistol Process “The Fundamentals of Fast” (2 day course). I had been aware of Frank Proctor for a while, having previously purchased one of his DVDs, and decided to sign up after reading some favorable comments posted about an earlier iteration of this […]
About one year ago I posted the (then) new version of the FBI Handgun Qualification. I shot this course of fire almost as soon as Tom Givens “published” it on one of his Facebook pages. Over time, I went back and edited the original article each time I shot it with a different handgun. Since […]
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 […]
