I know this blog has been all about the new Max Velocity Tactical training courses lately, so I have been thinking about a new information download and also pondering some of the instruction I gave last weekend. I am going to attempt to express some ideas here on paper that may be better expressed in […]

I received the following question by email: “Would you discuss terrain analysis? How to use terrain to your advantage in the offense and defense. Thank you. I have just enough knowledge to get myself into trouble.” This is a somewhat large topic. One thing I will say straight up front is that these topics are […]

  Above: NightCap with PVS-14 and ancillary mounting arms/shroud etc. Got your attention? Rightly so. Gear Recommendation: Crye Precision NightCap. $97.50. Multicam or Black.

CRCD Review June 20, 2014 Having done the three classes on Friday (TC3/RMP + NODF), I admittedly was a little tired beginning the Saturday class of CRCD.  We met in the parking lot at O dark thirty and Max began to shuttle us up to the training area. (Max: This was the first NODF class, which overran more […]

HERE Above: Prototype in testing. This is a 5′ x 7′ version. The production version will be 6′ x 8′.

I have seen a lot out there about steel ballistic rifle plates. I’m not happy about it. I get the gist of it – cheap plates so you can afford to have body armor. ‘Patriot Plates’ as they are called. However, the problem I am seeing is that these plates are now being touted as […]
