Things to Consider: Costa’s “Easy Day” Video
Let me start by saying that I actually really enjoyed “Easy Day” by the folks over at Costa Ludus. I’ve had the chance to meet and talk with Chris, and I like the fact that he is trying to do something different in the industry with videos like this. What I found better than the […]
I Have Nothing to Giveaway
There has been a trend lately, especially in the firearms industry, of “farming” Facebook likes via Giveaways. You know what I mean…some company that you actually like has teamed up with some “partners” to giveaway some piece of schwag. All you have to do is LIKE 30 different pages, share the post, slap your mother, […]
Tips For Anyone That Takes Pictures
Content is king on the intarwebs. Advancements in technology allow anyone to take video or photos anytime anywhere. That doesn’t mean you should. Just like firearms training, you don’t want to learn from amateurs or poor trainers, so why settle for bad photography and video? Here’s my best advice for those of you that do it […]

Iron Forged Concepts: SARA Helmet Adaptor
When I was out in Ohio at a shoothouse class with MDFI, I was trying out my new Team Wendy EXFIL helmet. I couldn’t seem to get my MSA Sordin earpro to work very well, meaning, it was uncomfortable. I played with three or four different sets of earpro and muddled my way through the […]
REVIEW – point6 Hiking Tech Socks
2 weeks ago, if someone asked me to write a review about socks, I would have given them the same blank stare that I give most people when they ask me to do stupid things. How the hell do you write a review about socks? They go on your feet. They come off your feet. […]
Gear vs Training Vs Practicality
I shoot photos at a lot of classes so I spend a lot of time really inspecting gear through the viewfinder. In the process of looking at everyone’s setup, I realize just how little folks know about actually setting it up. A few of my more savvy readers are rolling their eyes right now because […]
Report Card – First Thirty Days
It has been a little over 30 days since we started this company, and I’m proud to say we’re growing in all of the right directions. So much so that it is difficult to recount the last 720 hours. Among our clients in this first month are the National Rifle Association, Dark Angel Medical, and […]
Two is One, One is…oh sh*t!
It’s autumn in Maine and there is no better time to be in the Northeast. The colors are exploding, the air is dry, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the constant spritzing of Scent-A-Way in the woods. To spend some time away from this keyboard, I headed to the range yesterday. The goal […]
REVIEW: The Aegis Belt from Ares Gear
From the Ares Gear webpage: “The Aegis belt (released 2013) is one of our newest designs; customers wanted a belt with the same performance as our Ranger belt, but a simpler “look”. Like the Ranger, the Aegis is 1.5″ wide, and is composed of 2 layers of the same proprietary scuba webbing (3 color choices). […]
