I’ve viewed .300 AAC Blackout as an excellent round since its inception. I’ve also acknowledged that it isn’t a magic “wonder round” that can do it all. It is another good tool to have in the tool box and excels at its intended function. As with any new offering, it has taken some time to […]

SOFREP TV’s Kickstarter campaign to fund their “Big Mountain Heroes” documentary is open through the end of April. This project follows five Special Operations veterans on a journey into the outdoors and captures their “thrills not pills” approach to addressing personal challenges from their military service. Leading filmmakers shot the documentary on 4K RED cameras […]
Precision high-angle shooting is an art form in its own right. High-angle shooting is described as when the rifle is sighted-in (zeroed) on a level or nearly level range, and then it is fired either in an up-hill or down-hill direction, such as from a mountain top or tall building onto a target below. This […]
Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here During my time in Burma, I stayed in the home of Saw Rai, a quiet, genuinely nice guy. He had a kind face and a witty, playful spirit. He was happy to have me string up my hammock in his bamboo home, run interviews on his porch, […]
Throughout my entire military carer I was challenged both physically, and mentally. However, it was always my mental toughness that saw me through whatever hardship I was facing. I watched PT (physical training) studs wash-out of various attrition schools because they lacked mental toughness. I wasn’t the best Ranger, nor was I the worst. I […]
Yesterday a judge in Leavenworth, Kansas denied the continuance of a trail for former Physician Assistant Mark Wisner, who was described to SOFREP by one of his patients as, “the Jerry Sandusky of Veterans Affairs.” The former Ranger went to Wisner for a checkup in January of 2014 with a follow up appointment a week […]
So you think you have what it takes to be a sniper, eh? Even before my time in 2nd Ranger Battalion, I’ve been fascinated by the notion of shooting targets at great distances. The word Sniper alone had enough mystique and sex appeal to attract a horde of Rangerettes. The Ranger sniper section was a […]

Over the past 6 years or so, combative and realistic shooting techniques have adopted a new, exaggerated shooting stance/style. I first saw this way of shooting while serving overseas and a couple of guys were using it during shooting drills before an op. The shooters who use this style of shooting claim that it reduces […]
As tradition demands, when a man decides to get married his best man must take him somewhere to celebrate. We had a few ideas but finally settled on Texas. Why Texas? Well hog hunting of course. Greig had always wanted to go (so have I), and I had a Ranger buddy who lived in the […]
