This article originally appeared at AmmoLand. Technology has really fouled up some of the classic gun handling techniques.

Shooting With A Flashlight

November 4, 2016 By Tom McHale 1 Comment

Shooting With A Flashlight

I’m a big fan of mounting lights on defensive handguns. Before you ever pull a trigger in low light or dark conditions, you need to know exactly what you’re shooting at. Besides positive identification, a weapon-mounted light will even allow you to see regular iron sights quite clearly. Yes, glow-in-the-dark Tritium sights are fantastic and […]

7 Things You Learn Shooting Lasers In the Dark

This article originally appeared at AmmoLand. By Tom McHale USA –-(Ammoland.com)- We gun people have a terrible habit of arguing to the death over trivial theoretical debates like the whether using the wrong stance will cause painful bunions, adopting anything other than appendix carry will disqualify you from the cool kids club, or choosing the […]

What’s It Like To Shoot AR-15 Lights and Lasers In A Cave? [VIDEO]

Recently, I had the opportunity to test out the about to be released Crimson Trace LinQ System. It’s an AR-15 weapon-mounted light and laser platform that offers 300 lumens of light and a green laser. The neat thing about it is that it has instinctive activation from a button on the pistol grip, with one […]

It turns out that Editor Roy is not only a wordsmith, but a mad scientist inventor as well. That Frankenstein guy’s got nothin.

About Tom McHale…

Hello, my name is Tom McHale. I'm the creator and primary author of the Insanely Practical Guides series of how-to books.

I also write lot's of articles for various shooting related magazines and websites. You'll find my work at Shooting Illustrated, Concealed Carry Magazine, Tactical Retailer Magazine, Beretta USA, OutdoorHub, GunsAmerica, American Handgunner Magazine, Bearing Arms, AmmoLand, The National Shooting Sports Foundation, Grand View Outdoors, and Shooting Sports Retailer Magazine.

I help explain complicated things in a fun and easy-to-understand way. I believe that things don't have to be so complicated, although I suppose excessive techno-jargon keeps lots of well-intentioned lawyers in business.

If you want to learn about the world of guns, shooting and the American way, check out some of my books. Have a laugh or two.
