As the 2014 elections near, the guys remind us of a truth that is too often forgotten. Voting is a right denied to many around the world, and a right that millions of Americans sacrificed their lives to protect. Show your respect and show up to the polls this November.

Columbia, SC, October 24, 2014 – Panteao Productions announces the release of the first instructional video from Freddie Blish: Intro to Combat Optics.
Many people like to run non-magnified dot optics on their carbines. There is also the trend to run them on pistols. Yet a good percentage of folks don’t know the difference between the different brands of dot optics on the market or how to best utilize the optics within their given applications. With Intro to Combat Optics, Freddie Blish covers all there is to know and then some.
Freddie is a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Marine Corps, where he served 24 years. After his retirement from the Marine Corps, he served as the Director of Military Business Development for Aimpoint, Inc, where he developed an intensive training program on their use by the US Army Regional Training Center firearms instructors, US Army Mountain Warfare School, USAF Para-Rescue, and I Marine Expeditionary Force Advisory Training Teams.
In this video, Freddie reviews optics from Aimpoint, EOTech, Trijicon, Vortex, and JP Enterprises. He reviews durability, reliability, trouble shooting, optic mounts, the downed optic drill, the occluded optic drill, mechanical offset, parallax and asymmetric position, reticle tracking, optics for handguns and shotguns, and zeroing at 100, 200, and 300 meters. If you run a dot optic on your carbine/pistol or are considering it, this video is for you.
Intro to Combat Optics is available streaming from the Panteao website and will be available on DVD.

I am super stoked about this new series of videos. They have lined up some serious talent and each title will give you a variety of expert points of view on the subject at hand.
Columbia, SC, October 22, 2014 – Panteao Productions is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Make Ready to Survive instructional video series. This line of instructional videos is a departure for Panteao from the firearms training videos the company is known for producing.
“This was a pretty large undertaking for us. In order to get the shots we needed, our crew filmed on location in the everglades of FL, the back country of Ohio, the mountains of Colorado, and eastern Texas. Five instructors were selected to teach the series based on their background and life experiences. Each brought something different to the table and combined makes for one heck of a learning experience,” said John Tormey, Director of the Make Ready to Survive Series.
Fernando Coelho, president of Panteao Productions, added, “We received a tremendous amount of support from manufacturers and suppliers when we told them about the survival series. It was with their help that we were able to make this series possible. We originally thought we would have content for three videos. When we were finished filming we ended up with thirteen different titles in the series.”
Instead of reality show entertainment like the current television shows on prepping and doomsday survival, the Make Ready to Survive videos are a true tutorial to help you and your family. Whether you live in the heart of the city, on the outskirts in a quiet neighborhood, or out on a farm, the Make Ready to Survive videos show you techniques that are critical for survival, review gear and supplies to have on hand, and all aspects of proper planning. Most importantly, the videos will bring you piece of mind.
The instructors in the series include former US Army Delta Operator Paul Howe, Dave Canterbury from the Pathfinder Self Reliance School, US Army Special Forces Green Beret Kyle Harth, disaster preparedness consultant and author Jim Cobb, and NE MacDougald, who started his career in Vietnam with the 519th Military Intelligence Bn (MACV), and today is an author and consultant.
The video series will debut both on DVD and HD streaming video in December with three titles from the series. Then additional titles will be released each month from January through April of 2015. More info on the survival series can be found on the Panteao website at: panteao.com/survive
Hot Shots Calendar has issued this statement to media in response to the current circus surrounding the details behind the shoot in Utah for this year’s edition. Like we said yesterday morning, it’s about supporting the charities.
Glock approached Atlanta-based production company Modest to produce a spot for their G41 pistol. CraterDust, Glock’s creative agency, came up with a concept involving a Special Forces team doing a takedown of a hijacked plane on the tarmac. This inspired director Matthew Pope to utilize a single real-time shot to put the viewer in the middle of the action.
A particular scene called for a shot that started on a crane 30-feet above two parked SUVs and ended 300-yards away at the moment the plane was breached. To achieve this, Pope worked with Director of Photography Matthew Rogers and Special Effects Coordinator Drew Kimball to coordinate a shot that utilized pulleys, a Movi rig, handing off a RED Epic camera from one moving vehicle to another, and half a dozen camera operators.
Check out the behind-the-scenes video below:
