Amazing training day at @slampat at Callahan Training group. Sam sent us through challenging stages and gave incredibly valuable feedback.

Support great instructors and stand by good people. You’ll always be in great company and at the right places.

OUTDOOR //x// VS INDOOR

We outside literally. Outdoor training requires some investment but is more flexible in terms of what can be done. Top of the list are movement, multiple targets and the ability to speak without being overrun by gunfire from 2 feet away.

Do you prefer indoor or outdoor training and what are the challenges? Sound off (or cope) in the comments.

Mock stages with paper, steel and movement. What are we running:

@ki11akev_ Glock 47
@walter_the_truth_grmtac Taurus TX9
@grmtac OA Defense 2311 Pro Elite
@gunfusionnj Fusion XP Pro ...

People love subcompact handguns and they are top sellers. But the same guns are rarely seen at training classes and shooting ranges. Where are they?

@oa.defense 2311 Compact Pro runs exactly like the full size, same manual of arms same performance, slightly less overall weight.

How well do you shoot the gun you carry? ...

SHOOT //x// MOVE

Training speed, accuracy, and movement. These are the priorities regardless of whether it is a defensive engagement or a competition.

A-zone and 8” steel + paper with the @oa.defense 2311 Pro Elite. Just passed 32k rounds and this beast is still roaring. ...

NORTH //x// CAROLINA

Had the honor of visiting and touring the @oa.defense manufacturing plant in Robbins, NC. It was a visually stunning and highly educational experience. “Made in USA” hits different when you meet and shake hands with the people who do the work.

I believe it’s important to trust the company and people who make the life saving tools I use to protect myself and my family. I now know them personally, and I have no doubt that “Serve something greater” is not just a catchphrase, it’s a foundational principle.

Thank you @tim_oad @tonypignato1 @jhookshot for your time and hospitality. Onwards, upwards. ...

38% //x// IS WILD

#1- Get out and train. Your tradecraft and ability to defend what you love is your responsibility.

#2- Vet your instructors. It’s not necessary to be an expert to understand basics. If your instructor spends too much time telling stories, yells or acts dramatic, ignores basic safety protocols and/or doesn’t demonstrate proficiency, WALK AWAY.

Train with professionals who demonstrate skills and speak in plain language. Not salesmen. Not former blah blah who use big words to make concepts overly complex. Thank us later.

HATERS ONLY //x// HATE UP

Our team philosophy does not register negative feedback; we simply learn from data and improve. And we have ears. We know there are haters who only hate upwards because they don’t yet understand and have not grasped success.

Understand that idle talk just cements our focus to be even better. We are always ready to back up our words with training smoke. Come get some.

Talk is cheap. Come out and train! ...

DARYL //x// LOCATED

After a full season of episodes searching for our teammate @tiger_grmtac we found that he was not kidnapped but just took a jungle hiatus.

As we get back to training, simple drill 4 steel plates (8” and a-zone) for time at 10 yds. The difference between first and last reps is significant, so the goal next session is to start closer to where we ended.

The only way to get faster is to go faster. ...

BURN IT //x// DOWN

The difference between progress and being satisfied with “ok” starts at desire, but requires structure, order and discipline.

Come out and train if you want to be a better shooter, protector, decision maker. We can show the path but you must walk the steps.

Performance Rifle: 9/12
Performance 1 Pistol: 10/3
Ready Set Gun: 11/7 ...

SHOOTER’S PARADISE //x// Ep. 3

The search for @tiger_grmtac continues. At this point we had to augment the ground search with the AIRWOLF (you can hear it howling in the background IYKYK) and we are getting closer. We found his helmet and we are hot on the trail. We’re not giving up bother.

Also… stopped to shoot a steel match during the search- I mean we have to keep it light too.

GRMTAC //x// S.P.

A team that has become a family. Solving mysteries in a tropical paradise and shooting steel on their off-time, the GRMTAC Team continues the search for their missing teammate @tiger_grmtac after his scooter was found abandoned in the jungle. Season 1 out now.

Come out and train!

HOT ASF //x// SO WHAT

Flashback to the hottest day of the year. Heat warnings. Range full of angry wasps and horseflies. Training does not stop. Working entries, exits and overall movement with high accountability for accuracy.

When truly focused on progress, training conditions are background noise not a deal breaker. Lock in. ...

LEAD //x// SLINGER

Trotting into match day and spitting lead with the @oa.defense 2311 Pro Elite full metal 5 inch monster.

You don’t need to compete to be good, but you have to be good to compete. The first step to being in the conversation is getting into the room. Let that marinate.

TRAINING //x// FOR LIFE

We take the responsibility to give you valid information and training very seriously. It can be enjoyable but it’s not a game.

P1X participants came out this weekend and performed with enthusiasm. They got rained on kept training right through it. And they left better and more skilled. That’s the goal. Perform>> assess>> push the skill level>> assess>> adjust>> repeat. This is the way to get better.

How often are you training with someone above your skill level who pushes you beyond your comfort zone? ...

I’M //x// THIRSTY

Sometimes we have to just be who we are. The team came out gunning on Saturday and was an all around threat. COMPETITION is where COMPETENCE is tested.

Relentless pressure applied by the @oa.defense 2311 Pro Elite.

WTF //x// YOU SAY?

WE //x// OUTCHEA

Wear your sunscreen. Training day focused on entering positions and attacking targets immediately. Followed up with designated target drills on 8” steel.

Train early >> focus >> perform >> done. If you’re training for hours on end you’re doing it wrong. Frequency and consistency over volume.

BREAK //x// RULES

Just not the 180. Feeling more dialed in this match and the @oa.defense 2311 is running smooth asf.

But clearly the most impressive part of this stage vid is the shirt. If you’re not having fun you’re doing this all wrong. (I mean LIFE).

DIAL //x// BACK

Came out the gate super fast last session but was not satisfied with some delta flyers that were way too wide.

Solution: dial it back to focus on grip pressure and vision with gradually increasing speed.

Result: improved centering on groups, some Charlies no Deltas.

Slowing down isn’t generally the answer, but when the shots are out of control don’t be afraid to rebuild grip, focus and confidence.
