POTD: Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition Match

The images in our Photo Of The Day can be chosen for a variety of reasons. It may be because of its aesthetic qualities, its newsworthiness, its emotional impact, or its technical excellence. These were chosen because I feel jealous of not being a part of this competition. What’s better than shooting inside and off vehicles, running and gunning trying to get the best score and time? Above you see U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Toby Schindler, a close-quarters battle instructor with Marine Corps Security Forces Training Company, a Utah native, as he participates in a shooting drill during the Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition Matches at Weapons Training Battalion on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, April 6, 2024.

TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #113: Plunging Into the Dark with Paul B

We’re back again this week with a familiar face and a familiar topic with Paul B and Moons Out Goons Out 2024! Paul B is a seasoned writer with our sister sites OutdoorHub and AllOutdoor.com. This year he was fortunate to gain a slot in the main match at Moons Out Goons Out 2024 and it also just so happened to be his first real test of using night vision with firearms. I wanted to bring Paul on today to demonstrate to the audience just how easy it is to be able to attend the match. In stark opposition to any of our previous guests who attended the match, Paul didn’t bring a lot of expensive equipment save for his single night vision monocular. So join us today as we talk about how his match went, what he enjoyed about it, and what he plans to do differently next year at Moons Out Goons Out 2024.
