Gunfighter Moment – Frank Proctor 
Saturday, August 24th, 2013
I strongly encourage students to position their carbine collapsing stocks as far extended as possible. For me it’s all about leverage on the gun. It’s much easier to shoot and control the gun with the stock extended. I started shooting the M4 with the stock collapsed for CQB stuff and it worked OK for those distances. As I got into competitive shooting I reluctantly tried shooting with the stock extended, it felt awkward at first and not cool, then I started noticing the control benefits and it dawned on me that it was a rifle and the stock should be long just like on every rifle or shotgun I had shot since I was a kid.The thought process that I have heard supporting collapsing the stock include, making the gun shorter and more maneuverable and fitting the shooter when wearing body armor. Here are my thoughts on those. I think that if you look at professional shooters that are winning in competition and they are shooting the stock long, it is probably the BEST way to run the rifle. If you carry a gun for a living and it comes time to use it then you should have the rifle set up to work the BEST way possible. In the case of body armor not allowing the shooter to mount the stock to the shoulder I would modify the body armor. I did this on the Eagle body armor I was issued by using 550 cord to cinch the loose material around the profile of the plate.
I hope this helps.

Spira Duck Dynasty Camouflage Shoe
Saturday, August 24th, 2013
Spira and Duck Dynasty have partnered up to create officially licensed Duck Dynasty camouflage shoes. The shoes are based on Spira’s Stinger XLT performance shoe which features WaveSpring technology. They’re currently up for croudfunding on RocketHub, where they’ve already exceed their initial $100,000 goal. It’s also implied that only through RocketHub that the featured versions of these shoes can be obtained; they’re billed as limited edition. What’s really cool about the funding, however is that by exceeding the funding goal, A&E is donating $20,000 to America’s VetDogs, an organization that provides service dogs for disabled veterans and active duty personnel.

Brownsea Island – An Experiment That Led To Scouting
Friday, August 23rd, 2013As many of you know, I grew up in Scouting and my sons are Scouts as well. I am fascinated with the roots of the Scouting movement in B-P’s military manual, “Aids to Scouting” which was later expanded into a serialized book targeted at boys and the Brownsea Island experiment. Even during that summer, he had no intention of being the head of an organization for boys. He just wanted to validate his concept.
Lieutenant General Robert Baden-Powell (he pronounced it POE-el, btw) in a uniform from the South African Constabulary at the first Boy Scout camp on Brownsea Island in 1907. The camp was an experiment to see if his “scouting” concepts developed during his time in South Africa would actually work with boys. B-P made a point of recruiting boys from both the upper and lower classes to see if they could work together. Obviously, it was successful, but it still was not his intent to start a movement. B-P thought other boys organizations might find it useful, but boys started reading his book, “Scouting for Boys”, and starting Scout patrols and troops, sometimes themselves recruiting a man to be their Scoutmaster.
