There’s always someone that tells me they’d shoot me or something when I post footage of our Canada trips. I had a guy tell me I could accidentally hit wildlife once. We’ve lost the ability to ask questions, which is what makes the chance to do this type of shooting possible: Rob Furlong’s Marksmanship Academy. So let’s talk about what makes it possible. Rob is one of his country’s heroes, though he’ll never admit to that (Google is free). He is able to connect with every level of Government to get approvals for training in specialty tasks, in very special areas, and he has two main training areas: - Tongue Creek (Advanced Terrain, imagine the shittiest rolling hills for calling wind) - Nordegg (the most wild place I’ve ever shot in) Nordegg is then split into two sub-training areas. He has a spicy spot he will take his advanced students to, and then a very remote area 25 minutes by chopper away from anything. That’s typically reserved for Government contracts and Military training. The chopper ride in is beautiful, taking you from the hills over at least one ridgeline into the remote valleys. The peaks are so ragged and sharp you wonder where the hell you’re gonna land. There’s literally one spot flat enough. That’s here. Rob has what can more or less be described as scouts on the side we shoot from. They’re down there with direct communication up to us, though the likelihood that anyone is out there is so small the Canadian Government approves Rob to shoot (imagine Canada approving something Americans get pissy about). They ride the area and know our target and angle of fire, and are gone thousands of meters from where we could even send a stray before we even start to think about shooting. It’s the type of advanced training that makes flat range safety bro’s cringe. From there, each time we change positions it takes us about an 30 minutes to an hour to actually send a round. Data is checked and double checked, the area is glassed, the rifle is set up, and then data is checked again. If we send a round with Rob on the glass and we aren’t within a reasonable distance, we stop. The higher likelihood is that because of the types of shooters he takes up there, it’s off by a few feet for need of a fresh wind call. The reason I publish much of these training videos is that it’s such a crazy shooting experience that most people won’t get the chance to do it. I do it once a year. Get off my nuts, have a seat, and enjoy the fuckin show. Or don’t, but quit being bitches. Today isn’t a great day to be a bitch on the internet.

22 years ago, a bunch of swinging dicks began clearing through Fallujah, Iraq. On every known anniversary, the battle is fully free to view and learn about on the Atlas. For example, David Bellavia took on five dudes alone during this fight, and he even stabbed one in the neck.
