You read it right. We are live at the 2012 SHOT Show. Well actually Swinging Dick got somehow lucky to get out there for the range day. Your favorite of the two, me, Slim fly out Wednesday. So if you see us around, say something to me, and pick up Swinging Dick from the curb puking he will most likely be doing. This trip is brought to you by RED STITCH TACTICAL. Make sure if you run into those two characters you crotch punch them for us. That Darin character owes me a shot and a round of beer still. In all seriousness RED STITCH TACTICAL does make some good to go AR500 steel targets for the everyday shooter to the every now and then shooter. Quality and great customer service is taking these guys to a huge level. After chatting with these lads last week, that was the two main points they wanted to emphasize, quality and customer service. We agree, you can not go wrong with either or both of those. The bad part is in today's society it's hard, but not impossible, to get both out of a company. They are really excited about the new Precision sniper target they just did some range time on. We have are really lucky that they have hooked us up with products to test drive and do some reviews on, so we are hoping after this week and some time in bar, we can convince them to send us one of those to try out too. According to a post on their Facebook page, they are giving free shipping on any dueling trees for the month of January. All you have to do is use the coupon code "shot". Trust us when we say, that is a huge saving. Those trees are pretty heavy and cost a more than 5 hookers on the Vegas strip to ship. 

Well now that we got that knocked out of the way, we will see you out there at the SHOT Show! If you didn't see or find us.....you didn't look hard enough! Make sure you follow us on Facebook too so see where we are at!

I'm SLIM and I approve this SHOT Show announcement!

That's right, we said it (albeit on Rob's behalf). Get your ass to shooting. You want a real resolution this year? Put fifty rounds a month downrange, every month. Just fifty. You're better off doing that  than doing one thousand-round course each year anyway. Our theory is, you should be a training whore. (Or slut, whatever.) Train all the time, take every class you can. Don't rely on your department or your unit. At a minimum, take one professional development course every year. Doesn't have to be a two-week advanced hunter gunman killer beret course. Spend a weekend with some professionals that might knock some of the rough edges off, or maybe teach you something you've never seen. By and large there are very few courses you can't take something away from. Yes there may be cost, but how much money is your life worth? Your partner's? Your family? You may also make some good friends and getcha some treasured memories, you never know. We were lucky enough to train with both Mas Ayoob and Jim Cirillo (Cirillo the Great) in the same year...that may not mean much to you, but it was sure cool as shit to us.

Anyway, back to Rob Pincus. We like Rob, and we think he's a damn good instructor. Yes, he may wear man panties on occasion, sure sometimes you have to jump around a little to keep his attention, but he's a great guy, he's got an excellent sense of humor and he genuinely gives a shit that you leave one of his classes better prepared to fight and prevail than you were when you came in. He's also one of the busiest, hardest working guys in the industry. Granted, he might be able to relax if he wore boxer briefs once in a while but then he wouldn't be nearly as animated in class.

Here's the bottom line. Even if you don't pursue a class with PDN, you need to do something.

Don't be fucktarded. Go train. You can't count on God to miracle your bullets where they're supposed to go, and hoping the assholes shooting at you are more fucktarded (i.e. lesser prepared) than you is a pretty frail reed upon which to hang your life.

If you want, we will consider running our own Don't Be Fucktarded Go Train World Tour of our own, but in the meantime start looking for something in your area.

We're the Mad Duo, and not only did we approve this message, if you don't like it or if you can't remember to take your fucking hat off during the National Anthem then we cordially invite you to choke on some Taliban's shaggy cock'n'balls.

Not sure how in the hell we missed this. You've probably already seen it, but we hadn't, so keep your smartassed comments to yourself.

Oh, and for that 1% of you that piss and moan about our somewhat unorthodox and less than PC sense of humor?

Anyway, here's the video:

Dim lights

Swingin' Dick Clear!

THE MAD DUO. WE FIGHT EVIL SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

People have slapped raw meat over bruises and boo-boos for years. (Remember the one-eyed smart ass half-ninja butcher villain in Gangs of New York putting a steak on that nancy boy's face after the fight? Well, now you can do the same thing AND you can do it with the best meat treat of all: BACON.

Yep. Bacon band-aids. Won't do you much good in the AOR because you have to keep 'em cold (and we're betting the host nationals wouldn't like 'em anyway). Be good here on the home front though!

Not much more needs to be said.

Swingin' Dick Clear!
