FEBRUARY 25, 2020 DAVID ZAKAR I’m not really much of a shotgun shooter. I do quite a lot of practice with rifles and pistols, but shotguns never seem to figure into the mix as much. This is generally because I shoot at indoor ranges most of the time, and they almost never allow birdshot or buckshot. […]

2/22/2020 | Chris Norville Modern Samurai Project Red Dot Pistol I recently attended a Red Dot Class taught by Scott Jedlinski, also known as Jedi, owner of Modern Samurai Project. Scott is a relative newcomer to the training industry, but he has developed a well-deserved reputation as the red dot guru. I have listened to […]

FEBRUARY 3, 2020 DAVID ZAKAR Like many, many other people, I went out and bought a five pack of Baofeng UV-5R radios when I heard that they were going to be “banned”. (When the government decides to ban something that’s not going to kill you by using it, stocking up is almost always a great idea!) Given that […]

JANUARY 20, 2020 DAVID ZAKAR As I’ve progressed as a shooter, I try to tailor the classes that I take to address my particular needs. It’s a little hard to list out my needs, as my shortcomings are myriad, but tightening up my speed while maintaining accuracy is certainly high on my list. When I saw […]

DECEMBER 10, 2019 DAVID ZAKAR I had the pleasure of attending the Green Ops Defensive Pistol Clinic this past Sunday. I was looking through my blog to refresh my memory about it, and it turns out that it has been a full year since the last time I took this clinic. This was kind of a surprise! I go to […]

NOVEMBER 4, 2019 DAVID ZAKAR I talk a lot about pistol skills on this blog. There’s a reason for that; when it comes to actually shooting stuff, pistols are the hardest of your options to use at anything beyond about 15yds. Pistol skills also tend to go away the fastest. But… that is not the same […]

November 2019 | Clayton Webb Modern Samurai Project 2 day Red Dot Pistol Scott Jedlinski is a different type of instructor and this is a different type of class. It’s a fairly low round count, probably 600 rounds but felt like a thousand. When told we were shooting in relays, I inwardly groaned, but his […]

October 26-27, 2019 | @look_an_asian Low Light Solutions-Slytac Training Solutions, LLC Last October I got the opportunity to take the 2-day Low Light Solutions class from Bryan Veliz of Slytac Training Solutions. Pretty much from day one of carrying a concealed pistol daily I’ve had a weapon mounted light (WML) on my handgun. Even as […]

OCTOBER 9, 2019 DAVID ZAKAR One constant refrain I’ve had for at least a year is “where are my advanced Sunday classes?” In what I assume is part of a concerted effort to get me to shut up, Green Ops finally relented and offered a Defensive Pistol II clinic this past Sunday night. My inside information […]
