The new RE Factor Tactical Armboard is designed around Magpul Dynamics’ Precision Rifle Quick Reference Cards. It features two viewable windows for storing your most relevant cards. One window is viewable when the Armboard is closed and the other is viewable when it is open. The remainder of the cards can be secured on the included bendable loop.
The Armboard is constructed from lightweight, ripstop 70D nylon with a Hypalon backing. It has two elastic straps for securing the Armboard to your arm.
Target is Moving is a lightweight, compact moving target that can be used a number of ways. It’s AA battery powered motorized base is shielded against accidental strikes and can be attached to a target stand at your outdoor range or hung from a target hanger on an indoor range.
The included remote control allows you (or your shooting partner) to control the speed at which the target moves and the mode (constant, random, etc.) from up to 50 yards away. The target portion is easily replaceable (8 are included) and made from cardboard so it can handle anything from rimfires to rifle rounds and everything in between.
This seems like a compact and easy to deal with way to add some movement to your training.
I am generally not a huge fan of single point slings unless they are the convertible type that can be converted to a 2 point sling. However, a video that I watched yesterday has me thinking about single point slings in a different light. I am not going to throw out all my 2 point slings but I might just spend a bit more time with a single point to see what it is all about.
The video was produced by Abner Miranda and in it, he shows techniques that mitigate many of the commonly mentioned shortcomings of single point slings. You can view it below. If you hate single point slings, you might just gain a little appreciation of them. If you already use single point slings, you will pick up a couple of techniques to make living with them easier.
You may not know it, but you likely know Freddie Blish’s work. He is probably more qualified than anyone to talk about combat optics. Panteao Production’s description of the video has a little to say about why that is:
Freddie is a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Marine Corps, where he served 24 years. After his retirement from the Marine Corps, he served as the Director of Military Business Development for Aimpoint, Inc, where he developed an intensive training program on their use by the US Army Regional Training Center firearms instructors, US Army Mountain Warfare School, USAF Para-Rescue, and I Marine Expeditionary Force Advisory Training Teams.
It neglects to mention stints with LaRue Tactical, ROBAR, and as a Gunsite Range Master among other notable experience. He is also the creator of the Combat Optic Toolwhich is one of my favorite and most useful range gadgets. He is an authority of the subject of optics and should be able to drop some knowledge in a big way in this video.
