This post is gong to be deliberately simplistic and lacking in ballistic charts. The purpose is just to advocate to you the benefits, in my opinion, of the 100 meter (or yard if you insist, as it does not make a world of difference in practical terms) zero for a 5.56 AR style platform. I […]

I may have been mistaken about the reason behind the numbers on the July and August training weekends. Apparently it is not concerns about the heat that have kept people away, but simply that July is not a good month to schedule training. Next year, I will likely leave July off the schedule. The August […]

In the military sphere, one of the problems that any kind of air deployed dismounted force faces is a lack of tactical mobility. Such forces, deployed by parachute or even dropped off after an amphibious landing, have great strategic mobility but once on the ground they are limited by how far and fast they can […]

I have offered discounts on the July 20/21 and August 3/4 Training Weekends (LINK HERE) after I started to figure out that these two weekends didn’t seem too popular due to worries about the summer heat.

I have taken Combat Rifle/Contact Drills twice now with my best friend, my husband. I am writing this from a woman’s perspective to hopefully convince other women who may be undecided that they will be welcome, that they can do it, that they will have fun and learn a lot and that they will be […]

About The Area: Romney WV being the closest town to the training area, I found it to be a quaint little town that actually sleeps at night, but with some surprising conveniences. Oh, and a great little diner, of which the name escapes me, but good food….Great People!  About The Instructor: If you envision getting […]

AAR on June Training Session  Having no military experience I jumped at the chance to attend Max’s 2 day training session in June. I drove from a couple of states away and I must say that I was NOT disappointed in the class. First of all, Max is a very friendly, approachable and engaging Patriot. […]
