Back From Honduras!

  Written by Greg Ellifritz   I apologize for the somewhat sparse posting schedule I’ve maintained in the last couple weeks.  I traveled down to Honduras to both celebrate my 40th birthday and learn to scuba dive.  It’s tough finding the motivation to write when I’m hanging out in a tropical paradise!   I spent […]

  Last week I taught a new class for the first time.  It was an introductory knife skills class for Concealed Carry Permit Holders.  The class went extremely well and I was pleased at the large turnout (22 students) and the level of enthusiasm the training group had.  I couldn’t ask for any better students!

Twitter

    I’m a training guy.  I’m not a website developer/social media expert.  I created this website just because I thought it would be a good skill to learn.  I’ve learned a lot and feel comfortable managing the site, but I really don’t care to take the time to learn much more.  It just isn’t […]

Scam Targeting Shooting Instructors

A couple of different firearms instructors contacted me after receiving the EXACT same email.  They were inquiring if I had received the solicitation and if I thought it was legitimate.  Here’s what the email said….   Greetings, I want to book for 2 weeks firearm training, 1 or 2 hours each day Monday to Friday […]

Learning From Tragedy- Part 2

Brannon LeBouef offers some of the best tactical commentary that I have yet seen on the Batman movie shooting in Aurora Colorado.   “Shotgun blasts, the smell of fast burning propellant, eyes burning from CS gas, the yells of children and gurgles of blood filled lungs crying out for help, eardrums pounding from the over […]
