I participated in one of the long-standing, never-ending discussions of our time.
9mm vs. .45ACP. Which is your preference and why? Read what 13 experts and I had to say on the matter: http://www.tactical-life.com/gear/45-acp-vs-9mm-ammo In this new video by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, I discuss eye dominance, how to determine your dominant eye, and how it will affect your shooting. More Pistol 101 vids are on their way, as well as Shotgun 101 and Rifle 101 series coming soon! These videos are a free compliment to my book "Shoot to Win" for the beginning marksman. 5.5.15 | Second Scoop: ISIS attack in TX thwarted, Campus Carry=Grade inflation?, Bass Pro Pyramid5/5/2015  It's Tuesday, which means this week's episode of The Second Scoop is live! Here are the headlines for the week:
Catch the full episode below:  Book Review: Chris Cheng's "Shoot to Win" The Season Four winner of TV's "Top Shot" offers shooting tips that will benefit beginners and pros alike.
By Jock Elliott (RSS) May 01, 2015 Chris Cheng won the season 4 title of “Top Shot,” in the History Channel’s Top Shot television series. To win the title, which includes a $100,000 cash prize and a professional marksman contract with Bass Pro Shops, contestants must beat military veterans, law enforcement officers and pro shooters. Each season puts the competitors through a series of shooting challenges involving modern and antique rifles and pistols, as well as “alternative” weapons systems such as atlatls, slingshots, blowguns and even rocks. The show is a lot of fun to watch, and anyone who wins has certainly proven his or her mettle as a competitive shooter. Now here’s the weird part: until his victory on the series, Cheng was a tech support guy and trainer for Google. If you have a mental construct that “computer guys don’t become champion shooters,” well Cheng destroys that stereotype to smithereens. The subtitle of Shoot To Win is “Tips, Tactics and Techniques to Help You Shoot Like a Pro,” but the best clue to what this book is all about can be found on the inside front flap: “A beginner’s guide to shooting from the Top Shot season 4 champion.” As a beginner’s guide, this book succeeds very well. It is divided into five parts: Shoot to win in life and beyond, pistols, rifles, shotguns, and putting it all together. There are 26 chapters, ranging from “Setting yourself up for success,” “The four rules of firearms safety,” “Why learn to shoot,” to “Pistol marksmanship fundamentals,” and “Rifle ammunition and sights.” Read the full article at http://www.nrafamilyinsights.org/articles/Book-Review-Chris-Cheng-Shoot-Win [From Outdoor Hub] The Burgess Folding Shotgun is probably not a gun that many people have heard of. This rare and unique shotgun has the ability to be carried fully loaded and folded in a waist holster. Ian from Forgotten Weapons draws a Burgess from such a holster in the gif below, showing exactly what the firearm is capable of. Another unique feature of this firearm is location of the pump action, which can be found on the grip rather than under the barrel like most modern pump action shotguns. Unfortunately, this unique design was short-lived. According to Ian, “Burgess was bought out and shut down by Winchester to reduce competition with their 1893/1897 pump action shotgun. As a result not many were made, and very very few of the folding models.” The Burgess saw limited use as a police and prison guard weapon before the Burgess company was purchased and dismantled by Winchester, as the Burgess shotgun was a direct competitor to Winchesters far more popular 1893 and 1897 shotguns. The Friends of NRA is the 501c3 non-profit wing of the NRA which raises money for educational programs in the shooting sports. Hunters Ed, the Boy Scouts, 4-H, FFA, and many other high schools and other organizations receive grant money from The Friends of NRA. Almost every week of the year, a local Friends of NRA committee is holding a dinner, in fact, I'm going to the one in San Jose, California tonight! These dinners are the primary source of revenue for the educational grant money that is distributed out each year. In the video below, find out where the largest Friends of NRA dinner is held.
