AmmoNation Visits Thunder Ranch

[dougiemac]

This episode of AmmoNation, but a really good episode. If you're a student of the modern day self defense school of learning to fight with your weapon: pistol, rifle (CQB or long range), etc. then you should know the name Clint Smith and Thunder Ranch. If you don't, then consider this your introduction. Clint Smith is a legend in this field much as Col. Jeff Cooper, Andy Stanton, Jim Cirillo, John Farnham, John Shaw, Paul Gomez and Gabe Suarez are and many instructors look to him as a teacher, mentor and friend. I have yet to make it to Thunder Ranch, but have always wanted to do so. This short documentary episode of AmmoNation has made that desire even stronger. Enjoy.

I'm not as familiar with Bill or Elmer. I need to read more about them.

These guys were more hunting oriented, but legends in their own right.

If you've ever shot or opined for a 44 mag you can thank Elmer Keith. My M1917 Eddystone bears Elmer Keith's inspection stamp which I think is pretty cool.

Why do you need those guys when you got me?

When are you offering us gun fighting instruction?

When are you offering us gun fighting instruction?

Whenever you want. I take payment in beer and cigarettes.

Or a simple thanks bro and a handshake will do.
