Today we take a look at another shooting qualification, this one from the BATFE. In my opinion this is one of the most well-rounded shooting qualifications I’ve shot in a while. Close-range, SHO, WHO, 25-yards, malfunction stages – it seems to have a little bit of everything. The qual is the BATFE Handgun Qual and I found it John Daub’s excellent Drills, Qualifications, Standards, and Tests.

Shooting Drill: The Hackathorn Standards
Today I bring you one of the most complex shooting standards out there: The Hackathorn Standards. Infamous for its difficulty and complexity, this one has been on my list to try for quite some time. It requires a fairly complicated range setup, but if you can shoot it, it will test your skill.
VIDEO: 10-Round Skill Check – The Gunsite 250 Drill

VIDEO: The 700 Aggregate – The Hardest Drill You’ve Never Shot
The 700 Aggregate (also known as The Humbler) is the hardest shooting drill you probably haven’t shot. Okay, okay…some of you have. Certainly it is one of the more difficult shooting drills out there, and one that you should try if you have the range facilities for it.
Buying a Suppressor Online with SilencerCentral.com
I recently dipped my toe into the world of NFA items. NFA items are suppressors/silencers, short-barreled rifles (SBR), short-barreled shotguns (SBS), and machine guns. This can be an intimidating world to get into. There is a lot of paperwork, a lot of potential pitfalls, and some serious penalties if you screw up.

I hope you enjoy this Nighthawk 1911 long term review!
