Red Dot Optics, Compact/Pocket Guns, and Meditation [S6E13]

by | July 15th, 2016 | 0 comments

Pocket Guns and Compact Guns are awesome for summer carry. If you use a pocket gun for CCW, you need to watch the To Bear Arms segment during this episode. You may be surprised what Professor Paul has to say about pocket guns.

To Move or Not to Move? That is the question addressed on this week’s Beyond the Bandaid segment. Yes, moving can further injure a patient, but when is the right time to move them? Remember the Golden Hour!

Resting your mind and body is just as important as exercising them and meditation is a GREAT way to accomplish that goal. A special guest (a Yoga Master) joins Jarrad “Lil Fedor” Markel during the Fighting Fitness segment. She extends some of her hard earned knowledge to you, because she loves you just as much as we do.

Red Dot Optics, Scopes, and MOA? Yes, please! Professor Paul sits down and discusses the use of red dot optics on your rifle. He also relates a story of a recent trip to Texas and what he learned while he was there.
