  1. Yet another vote for Hear-Pro and the PRO-39s. I shot a local match with them once and went to work in the gunsmith shop and forgot they were there, worked for another 8 hours with them in. Ever since, I wear them in the shop too. Cuts out the noise pollution of the machines and makes it more...peaceful. It's a great product. I never realized how important good hearing protection was until I got a pair.

  2. I carry a GSW/blowout kit in my range bag. Tourniquet, quickclot, Isreali pressure bandage, Kerlix gauze, scissors. I have a separate booboo kit with bandaids, sunscreen, etc. Gunshow has best prices on blowout kit stuff.

    Just watch out for cheap knock-off TQs.

  3. FWIW, I played with the sample that POF had at SHOT.

    It felt pretty nice, but the sample was just in an aluminum block with no grip on it from what I can recall, so it was a little hard to tell how it would really feel in a rifle.

    Great concept though. If I had the spare cash i would have got one to test out.

    Spent my money at the show on a Gieselle though, couldn't be any more happy.

  4. On March 23-24, Steve will be coming down to South Florida to give a 2 day Pistol Course at Okeechobee Shooting Sports.

    From Steve's website:

    This is a 2 day class with Steve Anderson to be held at the Okeechobee Shooting Sports facility March 23 and 24. Both days will start at 10 am and go until we get done.

    You will get the full Dry fire tune-up and the full Accuracy and Efficiency course and the 2 day format will allow more time for each skill, plus we'll be able to break down our class sample stage in even greater detail allowing for more gains.

  5. The trailer is awesome! I read the book, but understand the movie doesn't really follow it.

    That is a massive understatement.

    This is a book that is very unlike a "normal" book - it is a history told by the survivors. It is really quite brilliant, but it was going to be hard to make into a movie.

    J. Michael Straczynski was hired to do a screenplay and that's the movie that should have been made. You can find copies of it on the internet and he did an incredible job of turning the book into a workable script. But Brad Pitt (who had a piece of the movie) and some of the money people wanted an action movie. Why? Who knows, there are enough of them already, why not make a compelling movie instead. Something that looks like something that could actually happen. Something that asks the really hard questions about how far people would be willing to go to protect themselves and their family.

    Instead, we get just another mindless action movie. I will not be going and if you read and liked the book, you should consider not going.

    Well said, sir.
