I’ve always considered outdoor ranges to be the optimal setting for firearms training given that it affords students plenty of space, there isn’t as much noise, and it’s all around more comfortable. Again, given the climate in Phoenix, this is not an option for us during the summer so many shooting schools, like ours, go dormant during that time. Here are a couple of suggestions for staying sharp with your weapons.

I recently came across a video that raises some good questions surrounding the need (or lack thereof) for firearms training. The Yankee Marshall is a very popular YouTube personality who creates videos about firearms; some of them funny, some of them political, some of them informational. But, as he mentions in this video (click on the picture above to watch it), he’s persona non grata with a lot of other firearms YouTubers because of his critical stance on firearms trainers, and training in general. His contention is that training doesn’t really add a lot of value since shooting is very simple and intuitive. So, you might be saying, “as a trainer, of course you must disagree”. I do. But he does get some things right that I believe can shed some light on why we do things differently at Alpha1.
