FNP 039 : Randy Lee - Apex Tactical Master Gunsmith Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Randy Lee is the president and gunsmith at Apex Tactical, a company that specializes in gun parts for pistols. Apex took off when they introduced a replacement sear for the Smith and Wesson M&P pistol line which made those gun shoot much better with a better trigger pull. From that moment on, Apex Tactical was always the go to part for any M&P and now Glock, CZ and even FN. Apex further their skills by releasing a "Apex Grade" barrel for the M&P which is capable of a sub inch group at 25 yards!

What I learned from Randy was: Flat triggers can help you with your trigger pull 2) that adjustable rear sights can be used for every day carry and 3) Apex Tactical is working on their own HANDGUN! I can't wait to see what that will look and shoot like. Congrats Randy…

FNP 037 : Scott Jedlinski - Red Dot Jedi Master Nov 17, 2017

Show notes

Scott Jedlinski also known as "Jedi" which is a very cool nickname to have, better than "gopher"..Scott is the brains and teacher for the Modern Samurai Project which is his training company. His primary focus is teaching students the fundamentals of shooting their handguns with mini red dot sights or RDS. Red dots on handguns are here and will be the future of shooting. Jedi also competes in USPSA as a Master class shooter in Carry Optics. He uses competition as a way to becoming a better shooter.

Scott is a strong proponent of hand to hand combat and regularly studies Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The similarity between BJJ and shooting is something Jedi teaches to his students. Finally, Scott is a sponsored shooter and shoots for Agency Arms with their Glock 34.

Three takeaways from today's episode are 1) proving that red dot sights can shoot fine in the rain 2) Cat Crap is not from the litter box but is actually a great product that keeps glass from fogging up and 3) you can run a compensated pistol as an every day carry gun.

I am very excited to bring you an up in coming instructor today, so let's get into the interview.

FNP 036 : Alan Normandy - The Battle Comper Nov 10, 2017

Show notes

Alan Normandy is the brains and CEO of Battle Comp Enterprises which makes one of the most successful muzzle devices for AR-15 rifles. It's called, well, the Battle Comp which is short for compensator. For the uninitiated, having a compensator allows gas to leave the rifle in a designed fashion. The Battle Comp made the rifle shoot with minimal muzzle rise and had a decent flash reducer. The timing was right and the internet helped skyrocket the comp to be a best seller.

But who is Alan Normandy. Alan served for 28 years as a police officer in South San Francisco. When he retired, he was a Lieutenant overseeing patrol and the Neighborhood Response Team. He also served on the departments SWAT Team and held a variety of duties during his tenure. Alan also found fame as a consultant for the very popular "Mythbusters" TV show which aired on the Discovery Channel.

Alan is passionate about the gun community and it's rights.

I've known Alan for many years and from the first time I spoke to him on the phone I could tell he believed in his customers, his partners and his community. I'm pleased to bring you some insight into the man behind Battle Comp.

FNP 035 : Brian Wilson - Build a Better Mousetrap Nov 03, 2017

Show notes

Brian Wilson, not the singer, is the brain in charge at UM Tactical, a firearms accessory company. Brian is an insightful designer who worked in both the auto and home industries before falling into the world of firearms. By finding a solution to mounting a red dot on his handgun led him to rethinking parts on guns to make them run better.

Along the way UM Tactical has won numerous design awards. Brian is constantly innovating and also sponsors some top 3 Gun Shooters including the winning Keith Garcia.

In talking with Brian the takeaways are 1) when using a red dot on your handgun you should make sure that if it comes off that it retains it's zero 2) how it's now possible to tune a muzzle break to the shooter and make the gun shoot flatter and 3) why customer service can help your company stand out in a crowded market.

I was lucky to get a discount code from UM Tactical for their products. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to get that code.

FNP 034 : Ashely Rheuark - Team Glock's Young Ambassador Oct 28, 2017

Show notes

My guest today has had an amazing shooting career…at the age of 19. Ashley Rheuark is a USPSA National Champion as well as a IDPA Distinguished Master. Ashley shoots not only USPSA and IDPA, but is a very strong competitor in 3-Gun. Since she became sponsored by the legendary Taran Butler, her talents thrived in competition, slamming down rifle stages like men two decades older than her.

Three takeaways from today's show are 1) why physical fitness is important to be a strong competitor 2) try to just shoot the match, no matter what size it is and that way you won't feel the pressure and 3) how to use video analysis to nit-pick your faults so you can improve.

Ashley is a true ambassador to the shooting sports.

FNP 033 : Mason Lane - The Kid Can Shoot! Oct 19, 2017

Show notes

I have to tell you there are not many people that make me feel old, but when I was talking to today's guest, well that thought came into my mind. The young Mason Lane, who is one of the top competitors in the country, has accomplished so many titles and yet is only in his early twenties. You would think that someone so young would be arrogant and misbehaved but Mason comes from a disciplined family and was an Eagle Scout. Ideals that I fear are becoming out of vogue and corny for some but I respect him for the path he is following.

Mason also had a great year. I recently was able to bring on a bunch of competitors, specifically in action pistol who put in a huge amount of practice and work. Each one of them had the opportunity to go to the IPSC World Shoot which only happens every three years. But I was very interested to hear Mason's journey as he is pretty young to be shooting on the world stage. Luckily for Mason, he is also sponsored by the Sig Sauer Academy in New Hampshire. The Sig Sauer Academy is one of the top training facilities in the United States and offer a ton of classes on a variety of shooting disciplines.

Three takeaways from today's show are 1) why you need to use emotion in order to motivate you in training 2) why dry fire will take a so-so shooter and make them better and 3) to remember that if you are not having a good match or suck in practice, no one is going to remember that..but you.

Mason might be young but has a lot of great material.
