Morning everyone. Just a heads up that the range received a very large amount of rain overnight. The roads coming in are drivable but use caution. Most of the private ranges have some amount of standing water. Several are completely unusable at the moment. You're more than welcome to come out today though. Depending on the traffic we receive, it may be a short day!

💪 TRAINING TUESDAY: STRONG-HAND ONLY SHOOTING 💪

Two hands are ideal—but training with one hand builds skills that every shooter should have.

Strong-hand only shooting challenges your grip, trigger control, and recoil management while exposing weaknesses that may be hidden during normal shooting.

Focus on:
• Maintaining a firm grip
• Controlling recoil efficiently
• Smooth trigger presses
• Consistent sight alignment

Start close, slow down, and focus on accuracy before increasing speed.

Whether you're a competitor looking to improve stage performance or simply working on your fundamentals, strong-hand only practice can make you a more capable and confident shooter.

Train the fundamentals. The results will follow.

🚶‍♂️ TRAINING TUESDAY: SHOOTING ON THE MOVE 🚶‍♂️

Being able to shoot accurately while moving is a valuable skill for both competitive and practical shooting.

The key isn't moving fast—it's moving efficiently.

Focus on:
• Keeping your upper body stable
• Smooth, controlled footwork
• Letting your eyes lead the movement
• Maintaining a consistent sight picture

Many shooters try to outrun their ability. Instead, start slow, build consistency, and increase speed as your accuracy allows.

Remember: smooth movement produces better hits than rushed movement.

Few rifles are as recognizable as the FN SCAR 17S.

Developed from the rifle platform adopted by U.S. Special Operations Command, the SCAR 17S combines the power of the 7.62 NATO cartridge with a lightweight, modern design built for reliability and performance.

Whether on the range or in the field, the SCAR 17S has earned a reputation for accuracy, durability, and versatility.

• Capacity: 20 Rounds
• Barrel Length: 16.25"
• Weight: 8.0 lbs
• Operating System: Short-Stroke Gas Piston
• Overall Length: 36" – 38.5"

The monolithic upper receiver, folding stock, and proven gas system have made the SCAR 17S a favorite among enthusiasts looking for a capable modern battle rifle.

Love it or hate it, the SCAR 17S always gets attention on the firing line.

Would you choose a SCAR 17S or stick with a traditional AR-10 platform?

🎯 TRAINING TUESDAY: CALLING YOUR SHOTS 🎯

One of the most valuable skills a shooter can develop is learning to call their shots.

Calling your shot means knowing where the round impacted based on what you saw through your sights as the trigger broke — before you ever look at the target.

Why it matters:
• Identifies trigger control issues
• Builds accountability for every shot
• Improves sight tracking
• Speeds up skill development

The next time you're on the range, pay attention to what your sights are doing when the shot breaks. Then check the target and see if your call was correct.

The best shooters don't wait for the target to tell them how they did—they already know.
