How hard is Navy Seal Sniper School? Hard. In this article former Navy SEAL sniper head instructor Brandon Webb explains that you get instant cred just by getting into the school.

Survival Strength
You know you have to breath to survive. It also helps to have some strength. I’ve written to you about the shooting courses I’ve taken at Sig Sauer Academy. One take away I’ve had is the soreness of my upper body after a day shooting. Upper body strength is so important in being able to […]

If You Shoot then Hit Your Target
