The Green Ops Alumni monthly challenge is 10 rounds at 15 yards, untimed. I was not happy with my 95 / 3x from last week, so I took a second stab at it today. Carry G49, HST 147 grain carry ammo. I'm much happier today. 100 / 7X GreenOps 15 yard challenge take…

I had an extraordinary wonderful surprise in today's Texas License To Carry class. After it was over, this gentleman told me that he drove from Houston to take my class. I asked why, and he said it was based on a recommendation from a friend I used to work with at USAA who had…

September 2025 Rangemaster Drill of the Month (DOTM). Take 2. (Redemption!) After my first videoed attempt at the DOTM was far under what I’m capable of, I took another run at it the next day. These were my first shots of the day. I’m MUCH more satisfied with the results this…

First videoed attempt at the September Rangemaster Drill of the month (DOTM). Spoiler alert: I did NOT cover myself with glory. :p.

I took another run at the August Rangemaster Drill of the Month, 3 Second Skill Check by Chris Edwards (In the video, I erroneously call it "3 second standards.") I have not fired a round in live fire, nor done any dry practice in six days. I'm a big fan of measuring cold…

My friend Larry Correia reminded me about a shooting drill that I needed to try today, the hateful eight, created by Bill Blowers. It is shot at 8 yards on a B-8 bull’s-eye target. You start with four rounds in the gun and two reloads of two rounds each on your belt. At the…

I think Texas has lots of room for improvement. "Gun-free zones," aren't. Law-abiding citizens (who are NOT the problem) obey the prohibition. Criminals, and people with bad intent ignore the signs, and have a "defense-free" zone, leading to a worse outcome.…

What should I set as the time penalty for hitting a non-threat target in my defensive matches? 🙆‍♂️ In IDPA, hitting a Non-Threat target is only a 5-second penalty. In my Bandera Defensive Matches, I currently have hits on a Non-Threat target getting a 30-second penalty. I've…

Friends, I have several seats open in my upcoming 11am-5pm LTC class. There is an optional 2-hour classroom only Intro to safety and marksmanship module from 9am-11am. New classroom location! The Trail Boss Steakhouse Event Center in Bandera. A fantastic lunch from the Trail…

Two takes of the June Rangemaster Drill of the Month; the HiTS Super Test. Course of fire: 10 rounds from the ready at 15, 10 and 5 yards. The distance is the par time. I shot the DOTM twice this week. The first time was a bit of a train wreck, but as I state in the video,…

Mingle AAR I just got back from an amazing conference for female firearms instructors, called “The Mingle.” The Mingle is the brainchild of Shelley and Brian Hill of The Complete Combatant, and gathers approximately 60 instructors from across the country to take continuing…

Friends, When I teach reloading a pistol, the steps I teach are: INSERT the magazine TAP the baseplate to seat it TUG on the baseplate to confirm it’s seated It is certainly slower than a speed reload where you simply insert the magazine, but it is robust and reliable. This…
