Ever wonder what it would look like to be a steel target, mounted on a rolling cart, being shot at while moving? No? Me neither, but here's what it looks like anyway.

GET MEDICAL TRAINING!!
Somebody else that's better at math will have to do the statistics for me. In the last year I've used my medical training 2 times and a 3rd time this morning. I've used my defensive firearm zero times in the last year. Detectives call that a clue.

You are far more likely to need medical training on a daily basis. Take it serious you may save a loved one at some point in your life.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
Just an update for everyone. I just finished an incredible class this past weekend with John Hearne from Two Pillars Training. In my journey to bring you the best training I can that class showed me where I have some holes in the First Defender Pistol series of classes. So I'm putting that whole series classes on hold for the moment. I'm going to be overhaling them pretty significantly. Bad news is it's going to be a minute before I put them back on the schedule. Good News is if you've taken it before you can take it again and it won't be the same class twice.

In the interim, I'll be doing a good bit of Rifle and Shotgun classes, and Pistol skill builder classes that will be shorter in length and easier on the wallet.

Stay Safe and I'll see you on the range.

Reason #1 why you should train to use only hand. Dumb stuff happens.
Go Train!!!
