  • Project Hoplite: Introduction to a Tactical Fitness Experiment

    Project Hoplite: Introduction to a Tactical Fitness Experiment
    Apr 22 2025
    Recently, I mentioned that I was going to run in a Spartan Race Super 10k at the end of October 25. To train for success, I've organized a 25-week training program covering all aspects of physical success for the event. This is the first part of a series of posts where I'll share how training is going, and lessons learned as a 40-something guy attacking Tactical Fitness in a way I haven't really tried before.

    Apr 15 2025
    Let's take a look back at Q1 of the year and where I'm at with several projects for myself and the site. There's a lot of content coming, and I'm having a blast digging into pistol shooting. Let's get started.

    2024 Retrospective & Review; Updates for 2025
    Dec 31 2024
    Here at the end of the year, it's time to look back across 2024 and grade myself on how I've done (pretty mediocre, to be honest). I'm also setting the main targets for 2025, which ties back directly to what you can expect next year.

    State of Play: Political and Legal Trends to Watch For
    Nov 12 2024
    A bit of an off-the-cuff musing about the current state of the second amendment legal world. I've been in this debate for a long time, and I think we've got a lot of momentum behind us- but I also think there's some serious risk in the future. The debate is not over, not by a long shot.

    Pistols and Patriotism: Project Appleseed Pistol Clinic AAR
    Oct 13 2024
    At the start of October, I went to a Project Appleseed Pistol Clinic to get a refresh on my pistol skills and see what the new program was all about. I came away both satisfied with my performance and appreciating the hard work that the Appleseed folks put into developing this new curriculum. Let's dig in!

    The Everyday Gunslinger: Starting the Path to Pistolero
    Jul 10 2024
    I've got a bit of a confession to make, and it's embarrassing. I'm not all that great with pistols. I'm not a bad pistol shooter, per se. But on balance, my pistol shooting lags way behind my rifle shooting. I think that's a problem, so let's talk about why I'm going to fix it.

    Four Years from Friday: Approaching Your Training Life in Seasons
    Jun 11 2024
    Let's talk long term. Too many people think that success is just a few weeks or months away, when that is far from the truth. In reality, success is a culmination of long term effort often years in the making. In this piece, I take a little known two day challenge and show you how I would break it down into a series of seasons and blocks that could be repeated over and over again, always driving closer and closer to success.

  • Thinking Beyond the Drill, or the “Teaching to the Test” Fallacy

    Thinking Beyond the Drill, or the “Teaching to the Test” Fallacy
    May 15 2024
    I've got a little bit of a bone to pick with how a lot of the shooting culture talks about drills. Much like weight lifting and gym bro culture, it seems a lot of shooters are more interested in flexing their egos than actually using drills as a way to improve. But how, exactly, should we approach that?
