2013 Texas Multigun Championship Videos are HERE!

As you know, if you follow the blog, Twitter, FaceBook or my Google + pages, you get early notification of the latest videos before they go live on YouTube. All 12 of the 2013 Texas Multi-gun videos will be posted here before they are on YouTube. 3-gun is an exciting and demanding style of shooting and I highly recommend everyone trying it at least once. Get out and shoot what you got, if you like the sport you can always upgrade your gear. But at least try it. Be sure and stop by the FaceBook and Google+ pages for more pictures and other cool stuff.

300 AAC Blackout and the Basics of making the Cartridge

I decided to join the ever growing ranks of the 300AAC community.  Once I looked into the cartridge and realized it required only the change of my 556 AR15 barrel, I decided to give it a try. Yes, all of the rifle is the same as the 556, only the barrel, muzzle device and ammo are different. In this video I go over the steps required to convert 556 brass to 300 Black Out brass. Be sure and stop by my YouTube channel TexasNative00 where I post hunting videos.

1911 Ambidextrous Magazine Release "Right Side Mag Catch"

The Mitchell Custom "Right Side Mag Catch" for the 1911 and 2011 framed pistols allows the shooter to change the position of the magazine release from the standard left side of the pistol to the right side. This is a nice modification if you have to change your grip on the gun while performing a magazine change. The right side mag catch also helps to ensure that your trigger finger is less likely to be on the trigger when performing a magazine change since your trigger finger is used to actuate the release. As a "Lefty", the right side mag catch allows you the feel of the 1911 the way Browning designed it :)

FLIR Scout PS32 Handheld Thermal Night Vision Camera

I get just as excited as the next gear queer when it comes to night vision and the ability to see in the dark. However, my wallet can not seem to get past the cost of most of these cool toys. The FLIR scout that I show in this video is a good example. It's small and packable, it works as advertised, but the cost is just not for the ordinary joe. So I'll most likely keep to my high power flashlights and a quick trigger finger when I hunt at night.

Looking for the competitive edge in a 3-gun shotgun? Then you may want to consider an XRAIL for added capacity to your old tube fed auto-loader. In these videos I demonstrate the basic operation of the the XRAIL, an aftermarket cylinder style tube magazine for tube fed shotguns.

Pirates Of Texas State Carbine Match

I recently shot the 2013 Pirates of Texas Carbine Match in Corpus Christi Texas. A Carbine match is a rifle only match consisting of some long range (typically out to 100 yards) and some CQB stages with targets ranging in "Up in Your Face" to less than 100 yards... BTW, those are my favorite. This math was a single day format which mean all stages were shot in one day. There was seven stages all together and I ran into issues on my first stage. My Blackthorn custom rifle that I built (link at the bottom) in my YouTube videos was doubling on me. Its my own fault due to how I place my finger on the trigger. I was threatened to be DQ'd (Disqualified) if I did not resolve the issue. I ended up borrowing a lower from one of the match organizers and shot the rest of the match with it.

STI Ranger II Single Stack 1911 Chambered in 40S&W

The STI Ranger is a commander sized 1911. This particular gun is chambered in the 40 Smith & Wesson as compared to the more popular 45ACP that the typical 1911 represents. This gun has been hard chromed to enhance the performance and wear. A few more additions include STI Recoil Master, Dawson ICE magwell, Dawson front and rear sights and grip panels from 10-8 Performance. Even though this gun has a bull barrel giving added weight to the front, it still recoils like a mother. I do not recommend the 40S&W in this configuration. It's not pleasant to shoot.
