Too much ' TACTICAL" for our own good?
When I started doing security work in Iraq in 2003 there was little if any mention of the word "Tactical"... Now it seems everything and anything related to self defence carries this term! True,,my own company name carries this term but for a good reason! The term "Tactical" is defined as : " A planned response to a given situation."
The powers that be have taken this term and turned it into a marketing tool for everything from a cell phone carrying case to socks! Anyone and everyone who makes or supplies anything related to firearms,gear,clothing, etc.. want you to believe that in order for you to be prepared for the worst you must have "Tactical" gear.
My philosophy is to educate and train using the KISS method. I will teach you the basic skills on which all levels of marksmanship and self defense are based. I continue to see shooters that spend mega $$$ on aftermarket gadgets and such and still shoot poorly. The primary reason being they have never properly learned the basics of shooting. So in closing this segment,,think about this,,,you can spend $150 on a set of 'Tactical" pistol sights...or $5 on several bottles of nail polish,,Now you have $145.00 left for ammo and 2-3 hours worth of lessons.. Do the math!
