Zeroing is often a frustrating process for some shooters, with many often settling for “good enough” rather than achieving the best possible zero of which their firearm is capable. In this article, I’ll address a few pieces of equipment that I have found helpful during zeroing.

If you are like me, you probably have more than a single rifle, and possibly more than one ammunition type in your stockpile. Adding to that, you may have different optics that you zero at a different distance due to use case…

Recently, a firearms instructor from another agency contacted me. His students were asking the “why” behind the modern method of employing the M4 selector and he wanted some easily digestible bullet points to give them. I decided to turn the points from that conversation into an article.

The AR-15 pattern rifle is not an overly complex weapon, once you “open up the hood” and learn how it actually works.

Recently, I was speaking with a friend about the AR15 and optic heights. We were discussing the proliferation of high-rise optics and their pros and cons.

I have been running Low-Light classes now for almost 10 years, and I have been operating in low-light Professionally almost 10 years more. But honestly, I started as a kid playing capture the flag and other such activities. I learned a lot playing in the woods and cornfields at night.

A sling is an essential tool that will enhance your use and mastery of the carbine or rifle. There are many makes and models of slings out there. Some are very good and some are junk.

When we talk about being prepared and ready, we always think guns, ammo, shelter, food, and water. What we most often overlook is keeping our guns up and running while we get through whatever emergency/disaster we are in. I will refer to this as “the event”. This means having some spare parts for our ARs in the event we have a catastrophic failure.
