I recently read an article that talked about being “range ready” on a typical training day. The author remarked on the importance of being well hydrated and comfortable (well fed) leading up to and during training. His point was that being comfortable, hydrated and prepared make for better training sessions and therefore better “results”. If putting all your shots in a nice cluster in the 10 ring and this helps you do it, great. More power to you.

As for me, I like to introduce a bit more of a challenge into my training days. Not that I am disparraging hydration or food, far from it. I appreciate being hydrated as much as the next person. I just prefer to know that I am at least attempting to inject some real life into my training days. I train as though I just hiked for some time before encountering a target species for my hunt, like a deer or turkey. Since I am not wearing my day pack at the range the best I can do sometimes is to run down range during a clear and replace my target then run back. This will help accelerate my heart rate and breathing exactly as if I had just come down a long path or crested a hill. This makes me concentrate on my shooting skills in a less than comfortable situation. Focus on my breathing. Control my heart rate and trigger pull. This helps me feel better about what happens in real life when I spot that deer on a nearby hill or in a pasture.

Train for what feeds your passion. Just do it so you can achieve your goals.

A while back, I posted about what to do in an emergency situation. If you only have your every day carry and a single magazine. A good friend of mine, who is trained in such situations, asked “what if you do have another magazine, and you are trained“?The simple answer for me in every situation is the same. Remove yourself and your loved ones or your coworkers from that situation as quickly and safely as possible. Provide cover fire if necessary and if confronted by a gunman.

If the guys with the lights and sirens show up and you’re in the middle of a gunfight with a bad guy, how are they supposed to know which one is good? And which one is bad? The answer is they do not know which one is which, and they will treat both of you as the threat. Unless the real bad guy has already been completely eliminated and you feel 1000% safe, that he is no longer a threat, then you may be accidentally buying him time to do more harm while the police deal with both of you. if you happen to be positioned closer to them, then the real bad guy, then you get dealt with first.

Try to resist the temptation to not make a bad situation worse by confusing, law-enforcement when they do arrive. If you have to utilize your protection, then make sure you re-holster it before they arrive. Do not present a threat. Do not make the situation worse or more confusing for people that are just getting there. All your training in the world should tell you not to make things worse. I hope this clears up any misconceptions or questions from the last post

Remember,
If an active shooter situation develops with you in the area and all you have is your EDC, and the magazine in it, then you are in a defensive situation. Your best bet in a situation like that is to get friends, or family, or coworkers to a safe location and provide cover fire if needed. if you choose to engage with a well armed gunman, with only one magazine, the odds will not be on your side.

Things happen quickly in life. Remember to tell yourself that sometimes it’s better to retire to a safe position or remove yourself from a situation, and live to fight another day.

My family and I just got back from a week and a half in NW Montana. My buddy and I hunted and worked on my land.

We overnighted in my outfitter tent and learned a ton about the locale and how our gear works in freezing temps.

Good decisions were made and bad ones as well. Overall much knowledge was gained and the natural beauty of the land and forest simply overwhelmed the senses, again.

My daughter finally got to see th Ranch and apparently loves it, which warms my heart.

My buddy and I both got a deer and came home with some really good meat.

The trip up and back was brutal as always and now I’m cleaning out the travel trailer and putting stuff away and doing laundry. Tomorrow it’s back to work and real life again. This time though, it will be with knowledge and wisdom that many (most) folks will never even know they are missing let alone try and acquire.

I feel bad for those people. They’ll never even know what they are missing out on.

Thank you as always to all the wonderful people of NW Montana you are truly special and are much loved and appreciated.

We can go our whole lives without truly knowing if we have had a positive influence on others. Whether it is coaching youth or mentoring young folks in your line of work or even what your own family thinks is sometimes hard to discern. Then there are other situations that come completely out of left field.

An old teammate of mine, from 20+YEARS AGO, came up to me in the gym tonight. He asked me if I had played in my “younger years” and threw out a few names that were familiar. I confessed that his face was only vaguely familiar and he told me his name. Then he immediately recounted a story of me telling him to watch his diet as he aged and to “stop eating crap or it will catch up to you”. He told me that two weeks before his 30th birthday, almost a decade after we spoke, it did!

He also told me that he remembered the advice I had given him and that it motivated a change in his life towards a healthier lifestyle. He fought and lost weight, got in better shape and told his family and friends about the advice I had given him and how it changed him, after the prediction came true. He thanked me and I made sure that the gym trip tonight was going to continue and he assured me he was staying.

Sometimes it’s hard to know if you have had a positive impact on those around you.

Other times they come up to you and thank you. In the gym. Again.

Take care of each other. You never know when someone is watching and using tou as an example.

Labor Day Weekend!!!! Yeah!!!!! Let’s go to the lake or the beach or the mountains.

Let’s camp out or shop or swim or hike.

Let’s barbecue or eat out or get some ice cream.

Let’s also not forget the reason that we have weekends and a Labor Day holiday in the first place. People fought and died (yes, they really did) for the right to not be worked to death by corporations or any boss. There was a time that the struggle was real.

Let’s not forget that the struggle is getting real again. Don’t be blinded by too many cat videos or smoothies in the company cafeteria. Keep your eyes open, or open them if they’re not currently. Understand that a company doesn’t want to take care of you, they want you to take care of them.

Remember this during your activities this weekend. At least once.

Go ahead…. Keep up with the Jones’s if you want to try. They sure seem to almost magically be one step or more ahead though. It never makes sense, but they are.

If you want to chase that imaginary dream, the go ahead. Just remember this:

-There is almost certainly someone who is coveting what you have and your lifestyle in at least some small or large way. Someone who wishes with everything they have that they could be like you. Thinner. More muscular. Taller. Younger. With more hair, or able to pull off shaved. With a house. With a bigger house. With a greener lawn like yours. With a lawn at all. Someone who wishes they could shoot as good as you or hunt as well. Someone who yearns for a wife as pretty or calm as yours. Someone who thinks your kids walk on water, even if you have told them that they sink. Someone who would cut off a finger to have your truck or a dog like yours.
Fill in the blank about your health, career, eyesight or anything else.

They are out there. The whole time you’re worrying about keeping up with someone else like a Jones or a Smith, that other person is wondering how great it would be to live like you.

Don’t take what you DO have for granted.

I recently reached a personal milestone that was extremely relieving in many ways (no, not the deer although that was unbelievably amazing as well) and got me more free time each evening. Now it’s up t ok me to fill it with something worthwhile and satisfying.

Tonight I spent some of that time working on getting my IT guy in touch with my wife to help set up her new computer. Remember, I work in construction not IT. My longstanding steadfast rule is that if it drops or it sparks, I hire someone else.

Tomorrow I will take a break from hunting (in 1000 degree heat) and make a rare “in season” trip to the range in the morning.

Sunday I may take my wife out for breakfast. Something away from the puppy for a little while for her. Trust me, she needs it.

The point is, I’m not just going to relax and sit on my butt. Free time is actually a great time to get something ELSE rewarding done. Take just a minute and work theiuhh your own personal “to do” list and see how relaxing it can be when you start ticking things off your list.
