This is the first in a series of interviews with Serious Shooting Women and the first in a series of interviews with Becca Spinks, RUDY Project team shooter, writer for guncultmag.com, athlete, run – and – gunner, and mom. ED: Hi there Becca! Thanks for sitting down and do this for TTAG. The first thing […]
“If I knew I was going to have a gunfight, I wouldn’t go.” – Jeff Gonzales The Professional Development class with Jeff Gonzales is a one to two-hour seminar tied directly to the monthly Gunfighter Matches at the Range at Austin. Each seminar focuses on some area that needs improvement based on the performance of the shooters in the […]
I need to preface this piece by stating that up until two months ago, I had only shot a handful of carbine competitions with my good old friend MC, whose interviews you’ve all seen here on TTAG. Some of these competitions involved the option of transitioning from carbine to pistol during a few of the […]
Greetings TTAGers. This is the last part of my interview with Male Concubine (see earlier posts here), who has persistently and consistently irritated TTAG readers with his love of guns and shooting. No doubt y’all won’t miss him a bit, but I’m sure he’ll be back for more interviews sometime in the future. ED: Hey […]
“Acknowledging fear is not a cause for depression or discouragement. Because we possess such fear, we are also potentially entitled to experience fearlessness. True fearlessness is not the reduction of fear, but going beyond fear.” – Chögyam Trungpa I have been reflecting recently on the level of fear in our culture and what I would […]
We previously met Male Concubine during our chat about underwater shooting. He wanted to let everyone know that the opinions expressed within these interviews are solely his own, not those of the management. ED: Hey there, Male Concubine. Thanks for joining us again. MC: No problem, my pleasure. That last interview blew up exactly how […]
Note: This is the first of a series of interviews with former operators who have lived and breathed guns for most of their lives in different ways. These occasional interviews will be a mash-up of tall tales, personal musings and boisterous unchallenged opinions. The intermittent nature of these articles is solely due to the fact […]
Let me state right off the bat: I am not a prepper. I’m an urban dweller who usually has a stash of ramen noodles, rice, tuna, and the like in my home because I’m half Vietnamese and having extra food stores is what we do. Obviously, I carry everyday and also have guns that work […]
This article will, no doubt, upset many gun owners because it doesn’t immediately come out against so-called extreme risk protection orders and similar laws. The reasons for this are twofold. First, opinions of new laws that have been issued in different states than my own and are already being implemented are irrelevant to the progress […]
Thanksgiving is in a few days, folks. As if you didn’t know. And the day after, the dreaded (or perhaps welcomed, depending on your POV) holiday shopping blitz officially begins. The holiday season presents a particular challenge in terms of self-defense. It’s common for home and car robberies and assaults to go up by a […]
I know a lot of TTAG folks aren’t fans of cross draw carry systems. I am, though, and that’s the only way I carry and practice, other than in training programs which require OWB holsters. But for those who aren’t allergic to cross draw, I thought I’d share a little bit about my setup, which […]
I want to preface this by saying clearly that there are more and more women entering the shooting world, and that this piece is written from the viewpoint of one woman with only her own experience to draw on. However, I’m a trauma therapist and I talk to a LOT of women, so my perspective […]
