In this episode of Acceptable Accuracy, co-hosts Philip and Tyler are joined by returning guests Brent and Paul for what starts as a simple discussion on the importance of dry fire—but quickly spirals into an unexpectedly deep dive on training discipline, self-improvement, and the mental game of shooting. Despite the accidental depth, the crew keeps it light with plenty of humor, friendly jabs, and personal stories that prove you can laugh your way through serious topics and still walk away a better shooter.

Well, we have more peaceful protesting in Texas down near the Mexican border this week. A man, who seemed to be following the marching orders of Democrat politicians to “fight harder” and “get shot”, opened fire on a US Border Patrol building in McAllen, Texas.  During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. Professor Paul discovered what might just be a useful and practical aftermarket accessory. He shares his pleasant surprise with us.  Also, for our SOTG Homeroom from SOTGU.com we will discuss and consider the importance of training and practicing with your left or non-dominant hand. What benefits can be had from this undertaking? You might be surprised.

In this episode, we dive into the critical importance of having a Get Home Bag (GHB) and keeping the right gear in your vehicle at all times. Whether you're facing a natural disaster, civil unrest, or just a vehicle breakdown miles from home, your GHB could be the difference between a quick return or a dangerous situation. We'll cover what essentials you should pack based on your environment, commute distance, and season. From footwear and water filtration to navigation tools and personal protection—this is your crash course in vehicle-based preparedness. Don’t just carry gear—carry a plan. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.

On This Episode:  We’ve hit the 100-episode mark, we’re looking back at how it all started. Cole Quarnberg is joined by the crew for a raw, unfiltered conversation about how far Long Range Tactics has come and where it’s headed next. They look back on the matches that shaped them, the gear that’s changed the game, and how real life. Kids, careers, and priorities has shifted their focus. From hot .223 loads and lightweight bipods to the burnout that comes with chasing match after match, this one’s full of honest takes and plenty of laughs. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just found the podcast, this episode is a window into what keeps the crew going, what’s changing in the sport, and why it all still matters.   Sponsors: Silencer Central-  https://bit.ly/LRTSIcentral Their educated staff is continually updated on new government regulations for the successful purchase and registration of silencers for your needs.

Don’t forget to get some pics with the cast to claim your free shirt.   - Dear WLS Joe E - Hey WLS crew, I am moving from a suppressor friendly state to a none suppressor friendly state. I have the option of installing a safe at a family members property that is still in a suppressor friendly state and leaving it there. So long as I am the only one that knows the access code to the safe will this be okay? Joe No Notes Rusty S - In a fight for your life, would you rather have a rifle chambered in a pistol cartridge or a pistol chambered in a rifle cartridge? No pistol braces or buffer tubes that can be shouldered are allowed on the pistol.   Mr. NiceGuy W - If you were the devil, what would you offer your cast members in exchange for their soul? Jeremy, I would offer to pay off his range and give him a lifetime supply of ranch Aaron I would offer clear skin, free of psoriasis, a toilet capable of handling apples and good luck Nick would be easy. A healthy and a proper functioning digestive system. Savage I would offer, hair, height and a few Bitcoin. Shawn would have to be weight-loss without exercise or Ozempic, and wrinkly balls Jordan S - Hey guys, TL/DR- Supressors expensive. What next gUuDeR muzzle device? I've had my 1st AR for a couple years now (basic flat-top PSA) & interested in changing out the cheap A2 birdcage, that everybody seems to hate. Watched some YT. They all start w/ the birdcage. 3-4 prong flash hider or hider/comps. Suppressor adapters & then whatever suppressors they have. All (except the wHisper pickles) seem to be +/- on recoil mitigation vs flash suppression and they end up saying ""Just get a suppressor"". Yeah, no shit. They are THE best muzzle device. I don't see myself getting into suppressor money soon, so not really worried about that. Jusy looking into something different. Use case is paper punching, but aiming for accuracy. Nothing high speed. I like the open prong FHs (purely off esthetics). Not "jazzed" about the concussion that comes (Hehe) with compensators, but haven't ruled them out. Even thought about a flash can, because reasons, ya know. It's not like the paper/cardboard targets are going to be shooting back. Obviously NODS aren't in the scenario either. Whatcha think? Thanks for getting me through the work week on Spotify. No notes. Dick Beelong - I have an autistic question for y'all even though Jerombé will probably hate on me for it. I'm currently running an AEMS on an ADM NV mount on my suppressed 11.5"" AR15. I obviously have my light and laser up front. But I got a good deal on a T1/T2 GBRS Hydra mount and it has me curious. Should I swap over to a t1/t2 style dot and move the laser back or just not be a bitch and leave it as is with a ton of weight upfront? Thank you for your time and Aaron, stop being racist. We all saw what you did with those chicken & duck eggs. #nonotesborthers Dan N - Hey guys, I've been fucking with guns for a while. Building and fixing everything I can. But in an ever present need to learn more, I want expand my knowledge. So, what are your favorite gunsmithing style books? I love schematics books, and just like my firearms, I could never get enough. What are your favorite or must have gunsmithing style books? Thanks, keep up the great show. #nonotes #aaronisgay Deeoh Gee - Sean. You enjoy the fanny pack life. What is your go to way off attaching a holster to your fanny p...
