If you’re out in the field, I assume you’re carrying a backpack. Shooting off a pack allows you to save the weight from carrying a bipod, and it is like having your desk right in front of you. Whatever you need to access is already within arms reach. Just remember, don’t let your barrel touch the support, be ware the damage muzzle brakes can cause to your gear, and support the front end of your #rifle. As Jacob discovered, I’d you support the middle of the rifle, then every time you fire, recoil will cause a teetering effect, with the muzzle jumping up and the stock slipping down off your shoulder, causing your rounds to have some unpredictable vertical string.
Brand new #6.5creedmoor #Federal brass, #Remington 6.5 primers, and 120gr #sierra #matchking. I really wish I could get more #winchester W760 powder, as it gives way more consistent velocities, but beggars can’t be choosers these days.
Where do you get enough ammunition to train? Why, you make it of course! #ammunition #federal #sierramatchking #6.5creedmoor #precision rifle #tactical #training #specialpurposerifle
The difference between gen 3 and gen 2+ night vision. Is entry level night vision useable though? Most certainly it is. #m4a1 #ar15 #tactical #nightvision
New scopes are in as we build up a fleet of loaner rifles for Special Purpose Rifle students! #vortexoptics #precisionrifle #sniper #training
Some days you just take get a little gravel in your travel. Burnout is a real thing, and I know some of you need this reminder right now... take a day to nourish your spirit, so that you can better serve those who depend on you. If you burn out and have nothing left to give, who will care for and protect them?

The difficulty in using night vision is not “using it” per se, that’s easy. Rather, finding a comfortable way to mount it to your head, balance the weight on your neck for extended periods of time, and keep it from bouncing around as you walk. For beginners, the lack of peripheral view, the need for manual focus, the difficulty with depth perception often means rapid mental and physical fatigue doing otherwise menial tasks under NODs. (Night optical device) Here we take students on their first orientation, a 2 mile long night hike requiring navigating obstacles, getting familiar to the controls by feel, identifying, and engaging steel targets by laser.

When students buy a cheap Amazon bump helmet and need a counterweight to keep their NODS from sagging down to their nose.... far water doesn’t quench near thirst! First thing I see in front of me is the stapler, so that’s what we will use to counterweight! :) thanks Ed, for loaning me your stapler all year.
Rainy season means precision rifle season here at Monarch Defense. This student has a handsome rifle that we can’t seem to get it it to group better than 3moa. 18” barrel .308. We tried factory 155 gr match ammo by Hornady and 175gr handloads which are well proven to shoot 1moa with other students rifles. What to do.... ideas?
Veteran students with a season or two of precision rifle training under their belts work with our beginners this morning on initial sight-in of their rifles while I look on quietly over a cup of coffee. The value of our time together isn’t just in hearing my voice, but in allowing students to build bonds with each other, to discover their aptitude for communication and coaching, and to let each find their way to mastery. This means taking turns as teacher as well as student. In my humble experience, you cannot fully master something until you begin to teach it. When first zeroing a rifle, remember to start close, about 25 yards, and fire 1-3 shots. Seek to put all bullets into 1 hole at this distance, then make big adjustments to get centered on your paper before moving out to 50 or 100 yards for final zero. Have reverence for the simple act of checking your zero, every opportunity you get. All future success as a #rifleman depends on a finely calibrated #weapon. #precision #rifle #school #student #teacher #camaraderie
After a rains, areas which weren’t fully sterilized by the fire are just starting to grow back. You can see the tiny grass sprouts just starting to reach for the sun. #rebirth #wolfdog #wildfire

"Brian was able to work with my injured friend so that he could experience the class despite crutches, and was able to adjust to each student as needed. Excellent class for those who already carry pepper-spray, or for those (like me) who thought they didn't need or know how to use it."

-Eric
