During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Louis will give us his take on the new EFLX CE optic having looked at a sample during SHOT. Also, Professor Paul will consider zeroing the optic on your pistol. What is the best distance to zero?

We have a Coffee Corner for you from Blackout Coffee. Please use promo code STUDT20 when ordering to support our show. We have more recommended reading for you. Paul’s new book, Guns of the Cold War, is now available from us at SHOPSOTG.com.

For our SOTG Homeroom this week, we will continue with our evolution in firearms training series. This week we will consider the acronym SPORTS and how it is applied to clearing a stoppage in your rifle. Is SPORTS the best way or does it fall short?
