AOG Q&A with Travis Rolph of Mayflower Research & Consulting

Monday, October 14th, 2013

Travis Rolph is an old friend of mine. When he told me he was going to run the Grand to Grand Ultra race I must admit, I was a bit skeptical. That’s a lot of race for a first time out. But I also know that nothing stops Bad Travis. I mean, the guy’s got a posse. But I digress. He did it. The stories he’s told me about the race have been fascinating and I’m glad to say that he shared some of the experience with some other guys that I like, Adventure Operations Group.

At AOG our mission is to train for “beyond normal limits” mindset and performance. Drawing inspiration and influence from the Special Operations community, as well as other elite performers and outdoor athletes, we lead individuals and teams to accomplish more than they imagine possible by applying “SOF Focus”. The principles of SOF focus are grounded in the truths of Special Operations Warriors and in the mindset of constant preparation and improving capabilities that all elite performers possess.

AOG recently caught up with Travis Rolph, retired 5th SFG Green Beret, owner of Mayflower Research & Consulting and modern day adventurer, to hear about his most recent mission, competing in the Grand to Grand Ultra race. The Grand to Grand ultra is a 7 day stage race that covers approximately 169 miles over an epic course.

TACOST Card Set from TRICON

Wednesday, October 9th, 2013

20131003-135003.jpg

TRICON’s TACOST (TAsk, COnditions & STandards) card set offers four different pistol training groups: marksmanship, speed, baseline, and dry fire, with 13 training exercises per group. These are kind of like training decks for other sports with different exercises or drills in this case on each card. The drills are clearly explained with information including range, rounds fired, point penalties, and a basic explanation. Additionally, the deck includes Legend and Safety Rules cards. In a pinch, the cards can also function as a full deck of playing cards, as they’re marked with all four suits and 13 ranks.

Seeing Is Believing by Trident Concepts

Friday, October 4th, 2013

As we get older many of us (me included) go through changes in our vision that require us to adapt our shooting. Still others face vision challenges right out of gate. Jeff Gonzalez of Trident Concepts discusses a few of these issues in a recent blog post entitled “Seeing Is Believing”.

Regarding shooting, one thing we can all agree on is you need to have decent vision.

Most of us as we get older will need to do something to correct our vision, whether through surgical procedures, contacts or glasses. It is a fact of life, you cannot expect to have perfect vision forever, but correctable to 20/20 should be a goal. If corrected with contacts or glasses then you are going to have to wear them when shooting, I know seems obvious.

Friday, September 27th, 2013

The Redback One Individual Protection Drill (IPD) was designed by Jason quite some time go.

The IPD was designed to provide inherent protection to a singleton operating alone or when operating as a member of a tactical team. Also, according to RB1, the “IPD provides organic protection to the operator in order for the operator to determine the type of stoppage on the carbine and select the best course of action.”

MDM – Rite in the Rain

20130926-080732.jpg

Rite in the Rain’s waterproof M4 /M16 zero target has been around for quite some time. One side features the 25m M4 zero target and the other side is for the M16A2/A4. The waterproof properties aren’t just great for those rainy days on the range. It also means that the targets won’t dry out in hot environments and disintegrate once you start shooting them.

What’s more, they have an NSN, 7530-01-544-9471.
