My bad. I had it set to remind me before posting if I hadn't entered alt text, but that feature doesn't seem to be working anymore.

A gift from elders that I will always cherish, this refreshing book is incredibly difficult to put down and will certainly be picked back up when the mood strikes again.

It was nearly impossible to choose excerpts to share here - I would post the whole book if I could. Every passage is a mountain of wisdom playfully told, a timeless and colorful quilt woven by queer survival and breaking free that rings powerfully true from its era to ever more relevant today.

I was just lucky that I was able to engage all of the targets, albeit with a dodgy sequence.

Sometimes, your gun malfunctions and your stage planning goes out the window. I've never had any issues with my G47 until this point. I'm chalking it up to a combo of lack of lubricant in a lot of rain on a gun that may still be in the break-in period - it ran fine after adding more lube.

Yep, works great in my experience!

Cold rain, cold hands, cold start. Still, these are often among my best stages of any given competition. It's a little counterintuitive to the idea of being warmed up, but there's something to having a set of fresh eyes and a fresh mind. Are there patterns you've noticed for when you're locked in?

I'm actually not sure how it was constructed, but it was squishy enough to be flesh-like. Really cool setup tbh, I'd love to learn how to DIY some of these.

Though it was all review for me, it's great to intentionally show up to discuss this matter and get some hands-on time (shout out to the wound cube).

Even if you've attended a stop the bleed class before, even if you're qualified far beyond this level, it's still good to take an hour every once in a while to attend. These can be found across the country and are often free, like the one I just attended hosted by the American College of Surgeons.

I'd strongly recommend the M&P above pretty much anything else. Maybe a Walther PDP if you're feeling spendy.

In this video, I shoot a couple of strings of doubles at 20 yards, the first one being relatively slow, with the second one really going for speed. The more you push your limits, the more you can reveal what needs improvement. This is an essential exercise at just about every range day for me.

consistency, move up close to the target, shoot only a couple of doubles, think of what you could have done better, dial in your fundamentals, rinse and repeat.

hole on the target, but obviously we're shooting at speed, so this will quickly reveal where things are going wrong - where your limits are with how fast you are able to make accurate follow-up shots. You should experiment with this at various ranges as well. If you're struggling to maintain

to use predictive shooting instead of strictly reacting to the sights here. Take note of the consistency and speed of your splits (time between each first and second shots in each pair) and contrast that with your groups. That's it!

In an ideal world, all of your rounds will go through the same

to fire your first shot. Watch your sights move up. Maintain a firm grip, but relax, and let your sights settle back on target. As soon as you see that sight streak back to your initial point of aim, commit to taking the second shot immediately. More advanced shooters can develop enough consistency

Shooting doubles is the most simple and efficient way to assess your fundamentals, especially sight tracking and recoil control. The idea is to only worry about the time between a first and second follow-up shot and your accuracy. Simply start your shot timer, take your time, and line up on target

Depends on your use case as always - shooting high volumes at further distances and need to reduce heat mirage? Want to reduce the IR signature of a hot suppressor? These are both good reasons to get a wrap.

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.

That's exactly what I did. Still gotta paint it though. 😄

There are no iron sights in this photo. There are at least two independent sighting systems on each of these rifles (the middle has three). The middle and the right don't need batteries to use their primary sight.

Redundant sighting systems are good. Optics are best in most cases.

This is by no means comprehensive, nor is it an endorsement for the performance of these particular optics, so be sure to do your research, and if you can afford better, scale up from here.
