During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc we will consider just how it is that we can realize the benefits of having an optic on a handgun or a rifle. Also, we discuss the importance of color choice.
For our Coffee Corner segment from Blackout Coffee Paul and Buel will discuss the new “Book of Five Rings Study Guide” by Nicholas Orr. What can we take from this new work from our friend Nick?
Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from www.SOTGU.com the Professor and Mr. Collins will discuss shooting robots and how we can, and should, make an effort to NOT turn our students into reflexive shooting robots.
