Well today is the last range day of this training evolution. To be fair four straight days standing out on the range in this heat has taken a toll on me. Clearly I am not as young as I once was.
We have been training a school district so the students rotated into teams for range days but no such luck for me! As I crawled onto the four wheeler this morning at 0500hrs to run our Shepards a couple of miles in the cool morning air. Instinctively I did a quick self assessment. Feet sore, check. Knees sore, check, can’t open hands yet, check. Back sore, check. Looks like I checked all the box’s! Hah!
We unlocked the gate and started our run, lap after lap in the pasture, two beautiful Shepards running at full tilt, tongues flying in the breeze, bodies stretched out, gliding thru the air, feet only skimming the ground. The two of them reminding me once more of the majestic beauty we call life. The aches and pains simply disappeared and once again I was both humbled and awed by the blessings I have received.
The officers this week have hung tough as well, we have pushed them hard and they have responded with determination and effort. They have been training all day everyday. These men and women don’t have to be here, they have volunteered to keep their communities children safe, and stand in the gap. Here Get Trained. Be Ready. We see this mindset manifest itself over and over at churches and schools all over this State. Don’t let Social media fool ya, there is still a whole bunch of good folks in this Country, with the heart and courage to keep folks safe. I am honored to work with them.

It is my absolute favorite time of the day, the quiet of the morning. Setting the range up while the sun begins her gradual ascent. The evening mist reluctantly giving way to the light. Cell phone “accidentally” left behind, as I anxiously await yet another nasty gram explaining I did not close my move ring today. Jodi has explained to me over and over that the key is to actually carry your phone? Dogs at my feet exuding energy in the cool of the morning. This is going to be a busy month our Team Get Trained. Be Ready. Is scattered to the four winds this month training School Districts across the State.

Sadly the flash flood warnings were legit yesterday. Blair Creek overflowed the banks by a large margin and washed out our road and then flooded the pasture. We have done so much work on erosion I cannot begin to tell you. We really thought we had this solved. As always…. Mother Earth 1,Mere Human 0!

We have several classes coming up with Get Trained. Be Ready. And in addition a great women’s only class being taught by Allie of Mazzanti Fi****ms Training. And of course our monthly CCW class by Scott Stewart.
Once again yet a public reminder that we are not a public range. If you want to shoot or train you must call and schedule an appointment. Not sure how that rumor continues to get resurrected continually but it has resurfaced once more. I think I am going to put that on our sign! Hah! I am heading to Quantico Va. for some training and it includes some difficult shooting qualifications. Yep I am rocking a 1911 frame pistol with that legendary trigger you can only get in an iconic pistol that has won two world wars! Rob will wear me out over it, but hey, it is what it is, and I am what I am. Hah

Most all y’all know my life is ruled by two K9s, Maze n Grace. One is a German Shepard and the other is a Belgian Malinois. They are forever on guard and simply will not be deterred. However on occasion their focus is a bit wonky. The Mal is by far the smarter of the two and very quickly learned anything coming off the smoker gets trimmed, cut or consumed. Regardless the next event is always scraps. Yep total focus on guard duty for Turkey fresh off the smoker. Dog would not move. They crack me up.

Hope all y’all had a great Easter Holiday Weekend, we were all officers on deck, scattered across several churches providing Security. Heck even the Chief worked! Sunrise service was loud and proud, it was outdoors and I think the musicians set their amps on 11. We worked three services back to back to back. During the second one I rotated inside to the sanctuary. Everything was going along great and spirit filled the air. I was at my post being ever vigilant and dialed in. Then at the conclusion there was a baptism service, I thought that is super cool. A young man, I am guessing 7 or maybe 8 years old was fixing to get dunked! I was focusing on the crowd, mindful of why I was there, dressed in both Gods armor, (think Ephesians), and some man made stuff as well. Unbeknownst to me, the individual preforming the baptism was the lads Dad. You could just see how proud he was and determined to preform the ceremony correctly. Everything was going as planned, until Dad started to explain to his son, as he was standing chest deep in the baptism tank the covenant and spiritual meaning behind this very basic fundamental act of Christianity. The Fathers love for his Son was evident for all to see, as his voice started to waiver speaking to him about the love of Christ, the young man standing tall in the water, eyes fixed on his Dad. By now the entire sanctuary is in rapt attention, it was very powerful. As the Father proceeded with the ceremony he ultimately lost his composure and succumbed to tears in love for his Son. There was not a dry eye in the place. He got him baptized and the young boy immediately bounced out of the tank soaking wet into a heartfelt embrace with his Dad. Words cannot possibly convey the emotions and strength that were so evident during this simple act.
What a day

Well once again FB has restricted BCTC. Their opposition to all things 2A is beyond realistic. I guess the photo of the Guacamole was more than they could stand. I am very seriously on the edge of canceling FB. However that is exactly what they want all the 2A folks to do.

So training season is upon us, myself and a buddy have been working on hammering out a trade for many days now, actually over the last couple of weeks. To be fair I have two sets of buddies, the first group, we will call traditional, I would say normal but I don’t know anyone normal, with exception of Abby, Abby normal! (If ya know ya know) By definition my traditional buddies favor pistols that have won two world wars dont ya know! All things 1911.
And then, well…..there is the other bunch, who we will call modern, you know Tupperware toting, striker fired, plastic kind of buddies. So long story short one of my “modern” buddies is trying to wrangle me into taking a G***k in a trade. As most everyone on here knows I do not own a G***k and have not for many years. And frankly, to be honest I do not speak G***k, so forgive my ignorance as I attempt to describe said pistol.
He is wanting to trade me a souped up, decked out 5th Gen G***k 45, I was like woo Hoo I can do that, you know I love 45s. In what can only be described as an exaggerated eye roll, coupled with a slow shake of the head he very carefully and slowly replied, “ No you moron it is a model 45” to which I simply replied ya guy, I get it a 45, I love 45s, 230 grains of round nosed beauty. Again with an even more exaggerated eye roll and a long sigh of resignation he explained. A model 45 G***k is a 9mm. Well that killed the deal, I was like, what in tarnation does a model 45 have to do with a 9mm?This makes no sense, no wonder I don’t have a G***k! In desperation, trying to save the deal and get me reengaged, Knowing my penchant for customization he further explains, this is no ordinary G***k, it has a Trijicon RMR, Ameriglo front sight, extended mag release, complete Timney trigger group. And several magazines. What do ya think? In the end we worked it out and I am the proud new owner of a model 45 that shoots 9mm.
Once I got it home, all it really needed to be viable was some toe nail polish. Pro tip shooters, put a dab of polish on the screws of your optic. You will know at a glance if the screws are backing out. You did use lock tite didn’t you? It will save the day over and over again. Plus with an optic you don’t have to worry about that pesky G***k front sight always falling off!

Well the training season is now upon us. The range is very busy beginning next month and we continue to train our local Church, and School security teams as well as many of our local LEOs. If you are your families protector sharpen your skills and get some training. The important thing is you continue to hone your skills as a protector, regardless of where. Translated, regardless if you train with us or not the more important aspect is that you train. The bad guys are becoming more bold. We as protectors need to become better equipped to manage the ever changing face of evil. Our battlefield is fluid as our training must also be. Take a look at the training calendar Get Trained. Be Ready. Find a course that fits your needs. The bad guys are training, are you? Clearly my ferocious protective Belgian Malinois is training so hard she is wore out! Hah!

Well if you are here in NWA you are likely snowed in. On plus side our German Shepards are thrilled with the snow. They have “snow plowed” for hours, chased each other, and basically frolicked in the snow for days. To supplement the tweety birds bird chow we pulverized some old stale bread and tossed it out. Much to my chagrin the Shepard pup has now developed an affinity to said bread crumbs, arghh. Tonight is my last night working graves, in theory. We lost a couple officers at the end of the year and I told the Chief I would help him out during January while he replaced them. I am just plain to old to be working graves! Plus I eat a zillion carbs trying to stay awake, not good for my figure! Hah! On serious note since I just know all y’all have ramped up your dry fire exercises during this inclement weather, are ya ready to burn some ammo up? It is also a great opportunity to get your reloading done. Or clean the top of your toolbox off? Ask me how I know. I had not seen the top of my box in months!
