Thoughts on Camouflage Clothing
I’m going to throw this brief post up before heading up to the VTC for class. I intend to expand on it as necessary later. Camouflage Clothing: The Nuances: I am a big fan of camouflage clothing and I have used my MTP/Multicam clothing as a ‘uniform’ of sorts for running my training classes. I […]
Student Review: Texas CTT / Mobility 5 Day: Vagabond
Review of CTT/Mobility Texas class, February 2016 While I’ll exert effort to make this review logical, relevant and accurate, it wouldn’t be right not to say that I write this piece with enthusiasm. The course fulfilled what I wanted to achieve, and at the same time surpassed expectations in every way. If you are ADD go […]
Two last minute places: March CTT & FoF + Rifle Skills Class Price Change
I just had single cancellations on the CTT class this weekend, and FoF the following weekend. There is now one space available on each class.

Student Review: Texas CTT / Mobility 5 Day Class 2016: Jim Tom
Texas 2016 CTT / MOB (Part Deux): This was my second Combat Team Tactics (CTT)/Mobility class and the sequel was just as good, if not better than the original. We had a mixture of alumni and new students with a wide range of backgrounds and skill levels. Max’s instruction was accommodating and constructive (crawl, walk, […]
Helmets for FoF Team Tactics
The gear list for FoF Team Tactics (the Class is now full at 16) shows a helmet, either ballistic or bump style. I currently have 6 airsoft cheap knock-off helmets that will suffice for the protection from the UTM rounds, which is the whole purpose. My aim is to eventually have 16 of them. This means […]
New 4 Day Combat Patrol: April 21-24
The April Rifleman Challenge has been cancelled due to lack of bookings. The new policy on the RC will be to run it once a year, in September, and thus allow competitors the summer to train. Dates will be put up once the new schedule for the remainder of 2016 goes up, over the next […]
Video: Texas 2016 Overnight Patrol / Dawn Ambush
Note: The photo of the patrol base in the video (and below) shows an MVT SHIELD (production will be back up soon). In the photos, the tarp is put up using a mix of bungee cord and GI Shelter-Half Poles. These poles, or something very similar, are ideal for putting up the MVT SHIELD when there […]
