So imagine if every global Tier 1 Special Operations unit all shared the same textbook for long range shooting. Now imagine having to sign non disclosure agreements to even read some of the pages in said textbook. It would be safe to reason said textbook is an extremely valuable body of work. Well it is an absolute honor to have Todd Hodnett, the author of said textbook, on our podcast for the next two episodes. I always love catching up with the godfather of the "christmas tree reticle" .
Part 1 covers how he came to rewrite and instruct the worlds premiere sniper schoolhouses and the origins of the Horus / Tremor Reticles.
Part 2 will cover the nerdiest aspects of long range shooting, from new cartridges to bullet and optic selection.

First episode of 2024 is here! Kato and I chop up the shit show that was 2023 and do a little After Action Report on Shot Show 2024. What was cool, what was innovative and how you should never meet your heroes, unless its Ambrosia Terrebonne or Mike Pappas. 11/10 would recommend stopping them to say hi. Time to get after 2024.
Happy Thanksgiving to you magnificent bastards. I discuss what and who I am thankful for this year and go over the early days of low light force on force principles developed from the surefire institute, and what those techniques have turned into today. Just a wee little rant.
Small dissection of the reality on the ground in Gaza. There is no appropriate and equal use of force in war, war-fighting is war-fighting. CAT suppressors coming onto the market and shaking things up. ATF hates grown up paintball.
Recently retired Special Forces "Heathen" Bryan Pickens joins us this week. With near two decades of combat experience, Bryan shares with us his journey, from advising Ukrainian SOF to building insane hotrods for select clientele and all the strip club reviews in between. This episode is definitely one for the men.
