Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014
July 2, 2014 – BCM is proud to announce the premiere of a new series of short films titled American Gunfighter. Each episode of American Gunfighter will feature a different instructor from the BCM Gunfighter program and talk one-on-one with them about how they got to where they are and what drives them do what they do.
Paul Buffoni, President and Founder of BCM and BravoCompanyUSA.com said of the production, “BCM is privileged to partner with the top instructors of weapons manipulation and tactics in the industry today. Men with decades of field experience, both collectively and individually, who have chosen to make it their mission in life to pass on what they have learned so that the next generation going into harm’s way can benefit from their knowledge. It is my honor to create a platform for these men to have their voices heard.”
Produced by Paul Buffoni, Travis Haley and Jon Chang, the series was conceived of and directed by Jon Chang, author of the graphic novel series Black Powder \\ Red Earth, who had this to say about the production, “Working with the BCM crew has been a life changing experience. It’s rare that you get an opportunity to work with people who have so much history and skill. Through these short documentary pieces, we are offering a glimpse into who these men are and why.”
Paul adds, “It is our hope at BCM that today’s warfighters, law enforcement officers and responsible civilians will discover more about these instructors and enroll in their training programs, learning first-hand from the experiences and sacrifices these men share.”
The first episode is available online now at http://www.bravocompanymfg.com/american_gunfighter/
K-9 Fights Cancer and Criminals on Sportsman Channel’s “Saving Private K-9” on Thursday, June 19 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT
Thursday, June 19th, 2014Sounds like a great show starring R Lee Ermey and K9 Blitz. Looking forward to checking it out.
NEW BERLIN, WI (June 18, 2014) – There’s an armed robber somewhere in Quincy, Mass. and it’s up to K-9 Blitz and Major Ken Ballinger of the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office to find him on this week’s episode of Saving Private K-9 airing exclusively on Sportsman Channel on Thursday, June 19 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT.
The suspect’s unknown location is a major threat and law enforcement shut down nearly 80 percent of the city. A SWAT team arrives to assist Blitz and Ballinger, but it is Blitz who gets down to business first. Catch a sneak peek of this week’s episode: http://www.thesportsmanchannel.com/shows/saving-private-k-9/.
R. Lee Ermey, host of Saving Private K-9, tells the story of K-9 Blitz, his unwavering bravery and diligence in pursuit of a dangerous suspect. Finding the bank robber is a top priority. Blitz and Ballinger must work well together or risk losing their only chance at apprehending the man that is keeping nearly an entire city on lockdown.
“I think what I would like most folks to know, or all folks to know about Blitz and dogs like him both in police and military services, is not to judge them by what you see them do, but by what you don’t see them do,” said Ballinger. “Our dogs, for everything that they are to us at work, are that and more to us at home.”
