More tacticool awesomeness! On a serious note however, notice how although these guys are making a comedy video, they are still firmly rooted in the ‘tacticool’ meme in everything they do. But, the ‘mag flip’ is a real technique. See ‘Rifle Stoppage Drills‘: Common First Step: If you are firing your weapon and it fails to […]

What’s not to like? Many students have offered their help at the training site. Others have suggested Alumni Weekends. The leveling of the new square range has faced me with a dilemma : simply too many trees have been pushed down for me to deal with. What I need is help with cutting up downed trees, moving […]

I have had a couple of spaces come available on upcoming classes. May 24-26 Combat Patrol: 2 spaces available. One of the students emailed me about an emergency appendectomy and has had to drop out! May 31-01 June CRCD: 2 places available. Ttwo students switched to the new CRM class. May 31 – 01 June […]

AAR  May 3-4 I have read a number of AAR’s about the CRCD class to help figure out what I would write.   One thing stood out for me that has been mentioned, but not highlighted.  Max and Aaron are excellent instructors, they even have a little “good cop, bad cop” thing goin’ on.   There is nothing more I can […]

If you train at MVT, you may yet train beside a Vietnam Veteran, or one from a later war. You won’t train with any WWII Veterans. However, if war comes upon you, you may fight through the enemy position, with their ghosts on either side of you. And if you fall, you may meet them […]

State of the Art: Operator as fuck. Get some. Max

Are you signed up for the inaugural Combat Rifle Manipulation (CRM) Class 31 may / 01 June.?If not why not? I have heard nothing but great stuff about Aaron, who is the instructor. Here are some AARs mentioning Aaron: (Do you think I would have taken him on if he wasn’t excellent? I suspect he will […]

That is one of the main obstacles to preparing for any of the ‘post-collapse’ tactics that we all talk about, and that I promote/ train: you need TEAM. Whether  for defending a retreat or a subdivision, […]
