Why Failure is Important

Today we were lucky to have our good friend Cecil on the show with us to talk about failure in training and why its important. Without failure there is no way to judge improvement. In the firearms world we call it mental masturbation when shooters only do what they are good at. It is important to set a standard for yourself so that when you train you have a benchmark to surpass.Without failure there is no improvement. Be sure to join us next show to hear about optics, reticles and how to choose the right optic for your rifle.

How to Make Money buying Guns

Today we talked with Glen and John about how to make a well rounded gun collection and how you can make money buying guns. Glen shared some of his secrets to help prevent you from losing money when purchasing firearms. A big take away from this show is to avoid purchasing your weapons at gun stores and gun shows. Always be aware of whom you purchase your weapons from and your local laws regarding the private sale of firearms.

Ryker Nylon Gear and the A.F.A.K.

Today on The Arms Room we had Mike from Ryker Nylon Gear on the show to talk with us about his A.F.A.K and the importance of medical training and having the supplies you need on your person when you need them. The majority of people that get involved in the training world start out with firearms and thats ok, just be sure to balance out your training. You are infinitely more likely to use medical training at some point in your life than you are to slay bodies with your firearms. Training and knowledge trump high speed hear 9 times out of 10.
