Hello Patreon,
Howard always tells me not to announce products before they're finalized, but he did it this time so I'm publishing it. I am curious to find out what ya'll think of this idea. Let me know in the comments below. I appreciate the feedback.
I've been checking out the speaking event thread from a while back and took that into account. We'll talk more about that soon.
Have a great weekend!

In this VE Discussion we talk Shawn Ryan Show and some potential directions. We're interested in what ya'll think on this too.
Thank you to everyone in this community for making it possible to bring SRS to the public.

I hope your summer is off to a great start! Doing something a little different today.
In this VE Discussion we shoot the shit on farm while knocking out some chores. The farm has been rewarding, we'll meet some of the animals and talk a bit of prepping.
Let me know what you think. Been a while since doing some farm content. Also, if any of you guys have farm tips let me know.
Cheers!

Wanted to share a little from a conversation I had with a Patron that made me want to make this video.
Bottom line. If something on the range makes your safety sense kick in. Trust yourself.
Stay safe out there. Lots of content in editing!
Thank you for supporting me and Vigilance Elite 👊ðŸ¼.

A very common mistake that I see over and over again on the range is rifle accessories rattling off of rifles. In this video we go over how to properly secure any and all attachments with Locktite. You can find locktite at any local hardware store.
Been a crazy last few weeks of content creation. Wanted to say thank you. Ya'll make Vigilance Elite possible.
Getting caught up on comments tomorrow!

We get a lot of questions on cleaning and weapons maintenance since we've started Patreon. Lots of good videos on YouTube on how to assemble and disassemble and also check your manual.
It is important to have clean weapons. I'm not obsessive about cleaning but I do go by feel usually when press checking. Let me know how often you guys are cleaning in the comments.

On this episode of The Shawn Ryan Show I sit down with Ed Calderon and discuss what is going on down at the US-Mexico border crisis. Ed has first hand knowledge of who is coming across and what might be coming to a city near you.

Wanted to check in and see how training is going with those of you who are running DA/SA pistols.
Lots of footage clearing editing this week. New VE YouTube coming soon. Thank you Patrons!
Got a lot of questions since Patreon started about training the double action and single action transition. Lots of pistols with this classic operating system Sig, Beretta, HK, CZ and a ton of other models.
Basically, you have to drill over and over again ...

I hope all of you are well! In this VE Discussion we talk about the escape mindset in relation to the last upload with Ed Calderon about defeating zip tie restraints. Filming with Ed was awesome and I think you guys are going to like his EDC video that is in editing. Lots of mindset and practical application formed through evolution and experience. Going to be a wild ride.

Couldn't wait to share this one with you guys so you're getting a weekend post!
Really awesome content is clearing editing right now. Feature length videos for YouTube will be coming in hot later this month.
In this video I get a private lesson in some counter custody techniques from Ed Calderon (SRS #007, instagram.com/edsmanifesto_).
Had to fast forward some trade secrets. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Ed 2021-05-01 15:49:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello Patreon!
Happy Friday. We are winding down from an intensive week of content content creation and editing. New content with Ed is filmed and SRS #009 with Tu Lam is making it's way though editing. I can not wait to get these out.
In the meantime, here's a quick video we shot after our interview session yesterday. Jon had a few questions about revolvers.
Cheers!

In this video, Mike Ritland talks K9s with Katie. It was awesome getting some insight from Ritland and being able to pick his brain from this perspective. He makes some pretty solid points for having a protection dog.

In this video I cover 5 things that could save you in an active shooter situation if you find yourself unarmed.
We've explored this discussion a few times in the Tier III lives. Let me know what you guys think.
Stay vigilant.

Discussion from Friday's question post. We didn't get to all of them but we got to a good amount! Keep those questions coming.
Little bit of noise in this one. I'm pretty sure our neighbors were having a construction party. You can see Jon getting nervous about the noise taking over the mic 😂.

Remember, the focus of most training is not how fast you re-holster after a drill (which, to me, is kinda like someone demonstrating how fast they can close their pocket knife). Especially if you just engaged a target. I know that doesn't always look the coolest for social media or in the movies but sometimes it's not about wh...

We had a few questions on last weeks tactics video about following your pistol about extended gun vs retracted gun applied to doorways. Hopefully this helps clarify some of them.
Here are a few links to older posts that can also be applied to this concept.
