Student of the Gun Radio

Author: Student of the Gun

Being a Student of the Gun is not about being a novice or beginner. Student of the Gun represents a life's journey of education, enlightenment and the enjoyment of firearms. Each week Student of the Gun will introduce our listeners to all manner of firearms related topics be they sport, recreation or personal defense. Unlike the television format, through the magic of digital radio, we will have the opportunity to explore topics more deeply rather than just give them a quick glance. Discussions will address both that which is current news in the firearms world as well as traditions and foundational principles. Student of the Gun, a beginner once, a student for life.

Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Today we welcome Louis Caras back as a special guest for the entirety of the episode. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will consider their brand new VUDU riflescope. Last year they introduced a 3-9x "super short". This year they have a 4-12x "super short" only this one is a first focal plane riflescope. Which one is right for you? You'll have to decide that for yourself. For our Coffee Corner from Blackout Coffee, we have another piece of recommended reading. This book is "The Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. Specifically, Paul, Jarrad, and Louis will consider the importance of 10,000 hours. We will continue our conversation regarding the Evolution of Firearms Training that began last week.
