A few days ago I posted about the need to get off the line of attack when someone is charging at you. I didn’t elaborate on what that really means and how to do it. I “knew” the answer because … Continue reading
One of my more popular posts was Where does the bullet go?. I am somewhat of an expert on small arms exterior ballistics (I wrote Modern Ballistics) but while better than most people on terminal ballistics I usually refrain from … Continue reading
John Fogh has started blogging. John is an instructor at Insights. I also have quoted him here and here.
Via email from Say Uncle: I thought IDPA was supposed to be about real world defensive shooting. If so then why didn’t the shooter get off the line of attack? In my training at Insights we did a LOT of … Continue reading
Suppose you are interested in improving your pistol scores in a game where time matters–a lot. USPSA, Steel Challenge, or IDPA for example. How do you go about that? Well, practice, sure. But what do you practice? And how do … Continue reading

Becky Ackers has the TSA’s number: But none of these facts seem to matter to the TSA. It needs something to justify its existence: Despite six years of patting down passengers, it hasn’t reported uncovering a single terrorist. No wonder … Continue reading
Recently I was told “well you guys are all Glock guys” “you all just like glocks” we are surely NOT “glock guys” I don’t shoot glocks because I like them. I like them because they do for me what I … Continue reading
As taught by the experts. I was taught this by Insights Training and then had it reinforced by Todd Jarrett a couple weeks ago. I highly recommend it.
If you listened to the Gun Nuts on August 19 you would have heard me wonder how Jarrett was going to handle the wide range of shooting ability in the participants when we showed up on August 22. I believe I … Continue reading
Last week Michael Bane put up a post on competition versus real world shooting. This is pretty much “old territory”. It’s sort of like the classic debate between Glock owners and 1911 advocates. Or what is the best cartridge or … Continue reading
This wasn’t some cheesy Internet quiz of some sort. This was something that my company paid big dollars for and followed up with a nearly full day of “training” to explain the results to us. Everyone in our organization had … Continue reading

Despite thousands of people walking around carrying guns and even drinking while armed the only shooting I saw was the air gun stuff going on at the convention hall. Rick from Traction Control challenged Kevin and I to a little … Continue reading
The WA/BC border is one of the most significant entry pts for terrorist that our country has, as well as for illegal materials. Canada is a significant staging ground for terrorists of all brands. Besides building their own networks, all … Continue reading
