What is a Long Range Scope? | SOTG 1077

by | August 4th, 2021 | 0 comments

What features should you demand from a long range scope? During our Brownells Bullet Points, we will consider long range optics and whether or not a riflescope can truly be called “long range”.

How did one man change the lives of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people? For our SOTG Homeroom from CrossBreed Holsters, we consider how the invention of one man potential changed how hundreds of thousands of people carry guns every day.

What is new with the Grad Program and the Bonus Hours? Professor Paul announces a new change to Friday’s bonus hour program that will make the price of admission even more valuable than ever before.
