Episode-671- Becoming a Better Shooter and Trainer with Airsoft Guns

Episode-671- Becoming a Better Shooter and Trainer with Airsoft Guns [ 56:06 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we are going to delve a bit into the world of Airsoft as a training tool for marksmanship and tactical application.  Airsoft has immense potential for introducing new shooters to the shooting sports and offer very realistic fully accurate reproduction weapons to work with.  I think Airsoft gets a bad rap with many people who see it only as a way for pseudo military types to “play war games”.

The reality is even if gaming isn’t your thing Airsoft has a ton to offer in the way of affordable training that you can safely practice just about anywhere.

Tune in today to hear…

  • Some of the different options in Airsoft weapons
    • Spring
    • Gas
    • AEG (automatic electric guns)
  • The value of all metal gas blow back airsoft pistols for training
  • How Airsoft can let you shoot more often
  • Building a “target/training range” anywhere
  • The value of “cheap plastic spring pistols”
  • Accelerting the learning curve for new shooters
  • Being a better coach because you can be more relaxed
  • Using airsoft to replace fear with respect
  • Transitioning new shooters to conventional arms
  • Protecting the 2nd amendment by promoting gun ownership and safety

Frank Sharpe Jr. of Fortress Self Defense Consultants

Frank Sharpe Jr. is the founder and owner of Fortress Self defense, a top notch institution for training in both armed and unarmed combat.

The cadre of Fortress Self Defense Consultants has a combined total of over 75 years of teaching experience, their goal is to offer you the best training possible!

Their curriculum consists of state-of-the-art techniques and a practical application philosophy, and we strive to equip our students with the skills they need to achieve victory in a self-defense encounter.

If you are going to be armed and exercise your second amendment rights you have a responsibility to be well trained, safe and effective with your weapons.

Join Frank and I today as we discuss…

  • Why “civilian training is different than LEO/Military training
  • Why your next firearms investment may need to be in training vs. another gun
  • Why Fortress provides female specific courses and what the advantages of it are
  • Why a handgun is for when you don’t have the option of a rifle or shotgun, not a first choice
  • How to remain able to fully defend yourself while on an airplane (awesome stuff)
  • Why training someone you have a pre existing relationship with can be problamatic
  • Using airsoft for realistic movement and force on force training
  • How a “basic handgun course” differs from a state required concealed carry permit course
  • Options for non lethal self defense
  • Why Frank believes if you carry a gun “you must carry pepper spray”
  • The wisdom of “we don’t go to stupid places, with stupid people and do stupid things”
  • Why you never want to have to pull the trigger but must be read to if you have to

Today we have some really interesting listener questions and feedback.  We will discuss subjects like casting lead bullets, The Appleseed Project, Permaculture, harvesting roadkill and Monsanto’s role in the global warming scam.

I will also dedicate today’s show to James Kavanaugh who passed away on December 29th after a long illness.  James Kavanaugh was an amazing writer and among my favorite books by him are “God Lives“, “A Modern Priest Looks at His Outdated Church” and “There Are Men Too Gentle to Live Among Wolves“.  Many of you many have never head of James Kavanaugh but when I was 21 and just out of the Army seeking answers his work influenced my life.  I will read two short passages by Mr. Kavanaugh in his memory today, listen and I am sure you will see how his voice has been speaking to you via my podcast for a very long time.

Join in Today as We Discuss…

  • New Discounts for the MSB coming from Backwoods Home Magazine and Self-Sufficient-Life.com
  • A lesson from a listener on the finite nature of food storage
  • My mistakes about describing The Appleseed Project
  • Why growing food is the way to solve the finite issue with food storage
  • How to use growing food to spread survivalism
  • Thoughts on casting lead and harvesting fired bullets for lead
  • How to create expanding bonded bullets with lead casting
  • The Survival Podcast (one episode anyway) becomes required listening at a Law Firm
  • Is Monsanto part of pushing for cap and trade and involved in the lies about Global Warming
  • Why is global warming such a divisive topic
  • What are the rules if you are going to harvest “road kill” to stay safe and legal
  • Thoughts on a possible Break Up of the U.S. similar to what happened in the USSR in the 90s
