Drills Are Tactical Skill-Killers

Last Updated on June 19, 2017, Published on June 19, 2017 by David Donchess 6 Comments

What Is A Drill?  Drills are a method of repeating something over and over until you can't screw it up.

MilSpec Triggers Suck! But Why?

Last Updated on January 12, 2017, Published on January 12, 2017 by David Donchess Leave a Comment

Point Shooting Is Not Always Practical

Last Updated on September 24, 2016, Published on September 24, 2016 by David Donchess 1 Comment

For some reason, point shooting is considered an actual shooting skill, but I have some reservations about calling it a SKILL.
