Podcasts about triangle tactical podcast

This is the 6 year anniversary episode of the Triangle Tactical Podcast! To celebrate we're going live and answering what is probably the best batch of questions I've had for a Q&A show ever.

I've been dying from allergies all week so I didn't get much show-prep done, but I did get a bunch of good questions from the Triangle Tactical Podcast group that I answered on this weeks show.

Introduction to the Triangle Tactical Podcast Last week's podcast was episode 250, so I figured this would be a great time to re-introduce myself to the audience, and have a good place for people who are new to the podcast to get started. Every now and again I get a question from someone who'd just found the podcast asking where they should start since there are so many episodes in the back catalog that it can be difficult to know where to start, and understand my point of view on things. Triangle Tactical started after I got the idea that I was going to start blogging on my way home from a competition shooting match in early 2012. I got home, setup a Blogger account, and excitedly told my wife that I was going to start a blog. I think she thought that she would hear about it for another day or two, and then it wouldn't ever come up again. Well, it's been 5 and a half years at this point, and I'm going stronger than ever, so here we are! The Basics: I'm a little different than other "tactical" blogs out there in that I'm probably the least tactical "tactical" blogger/podcaster out there. I don't really care about gear, unless it solves a real problem for me. A lot of folks are quick to run out and buy the coolest-newest gear all the time, but I really, truly, don't care about it. I've been shooting the same competition gun for 3.5 years, and that's the newest gun I own. I believe that practice is the only way to get better. Nobody has ever bought a new gun, and suddenly become a Grand Master at shooting. It just doesn't matter that much. With that said, I do think a new piece of gear can help you, if your current gun is actually causing you a problem. (Ex. I dumped all my Gen3 Glocks for Gen4 guns when they came out because the beavertail on the Gen4 guns kept me from getting slide bite and bleeding all over myself when I shoot.) However, I switched from shooting an M&P Pro 5" to a Glock 34 5" gun and... my shooting didn't really change. At all. This is because both of those guns are good enough, and neither really offered an advantage over the other. I just like the Glock 34 more, and making the switch made me happy. I believe that competitive shooting is good for you. When I shot my first competitive match, I thought I was a hot dog. I'd been shooting all my life, and I really thought that I had a good chance at winning. I remember when a local Grand Master shot the same stage I had just shot and did it in about half the time, I was shocked. "How can he shoot that fast?" "There's no way he can see his sights" "He's just spraying bullets and hoping he hits something." LOL. Yeah, then I saw his hits. He hit everything. He was able to do that because he practices. Range/Trunk Med Kit On last weeks podcast I ran through all of the stuff that I keep in my range bag, but I neglected to talk about the stuff that I keep in my med kit for the range. I have one kit that stays in my trunk that has stuff for the range, as well as stuff for basic booboos and things that would be useful should I come across a car accident before first responders get there, etc. Nitrile gloves 2 CAT Tourniquets (I also own a SOF-T Wide tourniquet, but I prefer the CAT for self-aid. I feel like the hooks on the cats are far easier for securing the windlass with one hand than the little triangle thing on the SOF-T Wide.) Also of note here: If you're buying either of these tourniquets, buy them straight from the manufacturers website. DO NOT BUY ONE ON AMAZON! There are tons of fraudulent TQ's on Amazon and you really can't distinguish a fake one from a real one by their listing. The cost is the same, so go straight to the manufacturer. Kerlix gauze for wound packing SAM Splint - Foam covered aluminum splint for bracing broken bones, etc. Very handy to have around. In an easily accessible side pocket, I have a big box of Band-Aid Tough Strips band-aids. These are the best band-aids I've ever used. They stick, and stay stuck, they're fabric, and they're awesome. I don't buy anything else.

Before Marc Ruskin was an undercover FBI agent, he was an assistant DA in Brooklyn. Why did he give up his career as a powerful attorney to join the FBI academy? Well, in order to prosecute criminals, you have to catch them first. It didn’t take long for Marc to become an undercover agent. For 27 years, he slipped into various different characters busting criminals ranging from drug dealers to Wall Street insiders. At one point, Marc was juggling three or four cases at a time – switching back and forth between identities. He wrote a book about his time at the FBI appropriately titled “The Pretender.” When I first discovered his book I immediately shot him a message. Luckily for me, he agreed to share some of his stories. In the late 80s and early 90s, San Juan Puerto Rico had one of the highest murder rates of any US city. Some of the violence can be blamed on the Machetero, a separatist group actively trying to make Puerto Rico and independent country.   Marc: "So I had gone from being an attorney in New York where the biggest thing I had to worry about was a papercut. Now I was in the streets of San Juan Puerto Rico as a combatant to the Macheteros. We learned at one point that the Macheteros had a plot to assassinate an FBI agent. The problem was, we didn’t know who the FBI agent was." Listen to my interview with Marc Ruskin on part 1 of "The Pretender" on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.  You can find The Pretender on Amazon.com or at your local bookstore. Also a special thanks out to St. Martin’s Press for letting me share Marc’s story with you. https://www.amazon.com/Pretender-My-Life-Undercover-FBI/dp/1250068630/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504062442&sr=8-1&keywords=the+pretender+ruskin Also, you can follow Marc Ruskin on Twitter http://twitter.com/mhruskin Also, listen to my new favorite podcast at: Moms and Murder: http://momsandmurder.com/ Pints and puzzles: http://pintsandpuzzles.libsyn.com/ Pleasing Terrors http://pleasingterrors.com/ Twisted Podcast: http://www.twistedpodcast.com/ Couple Money: http://couplemoneypodcast.com/ Triangle Tactical Podcast: https://triangletactical.net/ Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've been shooting USPSA for any length of time, you've probably heard someone say "Don't draw to steel!" while walking through a stage before it's shot. It's something that's become conventional wisdom in practical shooting, and I think it's complete hogwash. If you approach an array of targets like the ones below, and draw to the steel target first, your time to first shot might be slightly longer, but at the same time, your time to shoot the plate if it's the last target will probably take just as long, so I think it's a wash. So, Here's what I did: Draw to steel on far left then shoot to the right. Mean HitFactor = 8.9833 Draw to paper on far left then shoot to steel on the right. Mean HitFactor = 8.9952 Draw to steel on far right then shoot to paper on the right. Mean HitFactor = 8.5273 Draw to paper on the far right then shoot to steel on the far right. Mean HitFactor = 7.9567 Basically, it doesn't matter. Personally, I think the slight fall off on the last one I shot down to a 7.5 hitfactor was more to do with the fact that I was tired, had shot a bunch, and was trying to beat the rain, more than it was the target placement messing with my shooting. So, by the powers of junk science, I declare this myth busted. Draw to whatever target most benefits your stage plan, and stop listening to the other folks on your squad who are spewing out things they don't know about. Call to Action So, The episode "What Should You Practice" has already become the #5 most downloaded episode of the Triangle Tactical Podcast, ever. This tells me that a great number of listeners are interested in knowing more about what to practice. Well, I think today's podcast is a good exercise in what you should practice. So, take the diagram above, and shoot it in live fire, or dryfire with a timer, and see what gets you the best results. Should you "not draw to steel"? or will you find that it doesn't really matter? Let me know, hit up the comments, or shoot me an email at luke@triangletactical.net.
