The GT2 Plates are the latest design by ShotStop. In the 10 x 12 plate size, they have shaved off a whole pound of weight (down from 4.8 to 3.8 lbs) and increased the stopping power of the plate. These plates are in stock and shipping now. Pricing for the GT2 plates has been kept […]

The following post was a forum topic, where I have taken my comments from the forum and created a blog post, absent the various other comments that were made as the conversation continued. I have recently made a login necessary for the forum (still free), in order to keep out the casual revolutionary communists (for […]

TL;DR: This is what it’s really all about. Applying those individual and team drills into something that’s actually closer to real tactics/situations.

Student Review: HEAT-1 September 2020 – Tony TL;DR: Incredible training opportunity that you can’t find anywhere else without swearing an oath and putting on an uniform.

TL;DR: This class is fantastic! Dave and Donnie were amazing instructors and fonts of incredibly useful, and immediately applicable wisdom.

My context for this review is 17 years active duty military with career-long intelligence analysis and production experience, the last 5 years being in special operations. I had the pleasure of being the only student to have repeated this course so far. I took it when it was first introduced as a 3-day course, and […]
