I just checked – it’s 15:45 hours on the second day of the two day free kindle download for Patriot Dawn. 9997 copies downloaded free so far! The problem: I am now out of cover, fully exposed in the open to incoming fire from the trolls. Requesting fire support! There are some good reviews popping […]

‘Patriot Dawn: The Resistance Rises’ will be available for FREE download on Kindle this weekend November 23/24. H/T to Matt Bracken for the tip on how to do this – and for telling me that it does make sense to give my book out for free! According to the Amazon Kindle information, the free download should […]

I’ve had a couple of emails from people interested in the Arltis B110 smock. This is the one that is usually not sold in the US due to lack of demand. I just received the B210 smock. This has a thin liner inside for increased wind protection. Its an excellent jacket, but more ideal for […]

Above: this is not tactical training. This is square ranges, beyond which you need to move to field firing. I recently wrote my post ‘Taking Down the Tacticool Transition Dogma‘.

I have some spots available on the 14/15 December Combat Rifle / Contact Drills class. It was drawn to my attention that I had not listed this class on the website (because it was being updated) so many of you may not be aware of it. It’s half full right now. The class schedule is […]

AAR – Oct 26/27 CRCD I arrived Friday night after driving most of the 2nd half of the day from South Carolina. Max met me there and showed me around the range and campground, after that he took off in his ranger to continue prepping for the long weekend ahead. By that time the sun […]

As ‘BlueZ’ […]

So, over a pleasant lunch I was informed that I am being ‘transitioned to  a new opportunity’ at work (to paraphrase SultanKnish), beginning after my two week notice period, so effectively after Thanksgiving. This is excellent news for Max Velocity Tactical. I intend to do the following: 1) Ramp up the writing of the sequel […]
