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

Episode-21- Thoughts on Basic Survival Firearms [ 33:58 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I have been getting a lot of questions and suggestions to do a show on guns and the basic assortment of “survival firearms” or home defense firearms. So today I decided to put out a show with some basic thoughts on a initial gun collection. Today we discuss topics such as

  • The most versatile of all weapons – the shotgun
  • The advantages of the 20 gauge, the 12 gauge and how they compare
  • Thoughts on the 30-06 perhaps the perfect round for all around use
  • The tried and true 1911 as a great proven handgun
  • The 38 compact revolver as a great carry gun
  • Choosing the right gun and the concept of renting guns at the range before buying
  • Getting proper training if you haven’t already
  • Individual responsibility with gun ownership and use
  • The difference between a right and a privilege and why lisenceing gun ownership is counter to the Constitution
  • The importance of the NRA and State Rifle Associations
  • Gun ownership as a “civil right”
  • The “core four” of guns – Shotgun, 22 Rifle, Handgun and Centerfire Rifle

I will do more on guns in the future but plan to keep the podcast varied about many subjects. If guns aren’t your thing don’t worry we will have a brand new topic tomorrow.
