Low Round Count Shooting Drills

              Today on another rousing episode of The Arms Room Glen and John shared with us some of the low round count shooting drills they do to keep up on their skills. One of Glen's favorites is the gun safe round up, where you take some of the guns from the safe that are rarely fired and time yourself to see how fast you can load and fire them. John prefers the first round shot while drawing from concealment. Mason's preffered low round count drill is our typical marksmanship qual, start with 25 rounds from the 100 yardline and sprint to varoius distances while changing positions and firing specific round counts from each position. Be sure to join us next show to hear from one of our students Ted about HAM radio and electronic communication.

The Prepper Mindset and whats wrong with it

Prepping has transformed from its inception into something "crazy" people do to someting that is becoming more and more common in modern scocity.

Prepare for as many eventualities as you realistically can but keep in mind it takes a lifetime to truly be an expert. We at The Arms Room also wants to say thank you to FedEx driver Matt Uhrin for stepping in and saving some American Flags from being burned by some hippie pukes this past week.
