Still - …continuation of an action or state up to the present.
There comes a point in life where our ethics and morals are challenged. A point when you have to stand ten toes on business and pivot from a situation, only to create a way for yourself and emerge as something new… Some people fold, but you’re STILL you.
What I admire about is that it exists because someone was willing to bet on themselves and create a way, while remaining true to who they are… STILL
Let’s build on that. Think of steel targets… sometimes all they need is a fresh coat of paint. The appearance changes, but when the foundation is strong, you trust it. The same can be said for people.
I trust and appreciate the investment they’ve made back into the fi****ms community, which was on full display at 2026!
What you see in the video is a glimpse of their new bullet trap. There is more, you had to be there…
Keep an eye on them.
The Detroit in me will always respect somebody willing to boss up and bet on themselves.

ChatGPT did its thing with the accuracy. Except, I honestly don’t own a chest rig.
As a believer, I’m always praying. I show love to everybody, I’m about my business, and if it’s about the community, I’m there.
The only time you see a different version of me is when the Green Lens Assassin shows up at the range. Then it goes from community service to competitive service.

Longevity refers to lifespan, and the average lifespan of a friendship is 7 years. .vision.media and I have 20+ years of this… Longevity is rare…
When there’s an opportunity to see your folks, and you can support them organically, don’t miss that chance.

The results of training…
You don’t determine if you’re fast, the clock will let you know. Just like you don’t determine if you’re accurate, the target will tell you.
put on an awesome class and challenged me with a new grip. Anytime I take a class from someone, I try to embody what they’re asking me to do. Shout out to for staying on me 😅and for hosting
When it came to the Archangel Defense Performance Based Handgun Standard, I wanted to respect the teaching I’d just received. My goal was to shoot it clean, I didn’t care about the time. Next thing I know, I not only shot it clean, but I did it to the pro standards.
Walked away with great memories with peers, great instruction, a Titan, and 2 patches at the same….

USCCA Defensive Pistol Program – Instructor Certification: ✅ Complete
With only a 30% national pass rate, this course tested everything (mentally and physically). I walked away sharper, inspired, and reminded to always keep an open parachute 🪂.
Huge thanks to Steve Hendricks and Justin Peter (USCCA) for the instruction and to Steve Fischer for making an appearance.

There’s a right way and wrong way to open carry. The results of the wrong way can be costly.
Watch your surroundings
Understand personal space
Develop situational awareness
Buy the right type of holster (ex. level 2 duty holster)
Oh and don’t chase anyone if they took your gun 🤦🏽♂️
