You’re Either Shooting or Loading: Green Ops Shotgun AAR

Feb 20, 2025

I’ll be straight with you: this was without a doubt Type 2 fun. But it was fun, in addition to being educational, not to mention a great opportunity to go spend a day with a bunch of like minded people. If you live near any of the Green Ops training locations in Virginia, North Carolina, or Texas I highly recommend you go tune up your shotgun skills with their cadre.

Training With Green Ops Texas: Advanced Applications Of Pistol Mechanics

Apr 4, 2024

Advanced Application of Pistol Mechanics (AAPM) methodically covers handgun fundamentals in context for experienced handgun shooters. It can also be viewed as an introduction to higher performance shooting. The first portion of the coursework is spent combing over all core elements. Those elements were grip, stance, trigger control, sight alignment, drawing and presentation. Each topic gets an instructor demo and lecture, and students shoot relevant live fire as it pertains to that topic.

Private Training with Josh S

Apr 4, 2024

Josh is a Grand Master pistol shooter and has been shooting competitively since 2015. He is among the most humble and approachable instructors I could have asked for. I have had private instruction from Josh on two separate occasions, and he begins each course by asking the students about their goals. I see this as a crucial step that most instructors ignore. We spoke over the phone before I attended each course, and he designed a full-day class around achieving my goals. In both cases, he surpassed them (by far) at the end of the day.

Training With Green Ops: 2-Day LPVO Course (Texas)

Feb 2, 2024

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to attend the Green Ops 2-Day LPVO Carbine course at The Ranch in Dilley, Texas south of San Antonio. Although I will not deny my bias in favor of the LPVO and find them both useful and fascinating, I also understand that like with anything else, these scopes have trade-offs. To be successful with LPVOs, it’s crucial to understand their strengths and weaknesses which is why this Green Ops course has been a huge interest of mine. The course is focused on the entire effective range of the modern carbine and its use with an emphasis on the LPVO as the principal aiming implement, from 0 to 500 meters. I felt quite fortunate after finally attending the course and training under keen instructors.

AAR: Green Ops Defensive Carbine I (Culpepper, VA) - 06/24/2023

Jul 9, 2023

I was most impressed by the camaraderie and supportive atmosphere in general. There were lots of smiles (not egos) and friendly advice (not condescending comments). The “tech support” was amazing, with instructors really going above and beyond to help students get their rifles back up and running to stay in the game. When there were any actual issues/broken parts rendering guns inoperable, multiple students came forward with their spare rifle to act as loaners for the rest of the day. It really felt like a team, which was great.

AAR Advanced Application of Pistol Fundamentals 03/04/2023

Mar 9, 2023

I see why all the instructors say this is their favorite class to teach. Because it really drives the importance of good fundamentals, and just how much better you should when you practice it. I know I have taken only 3 pistol courses so far, but this is the one class where I saw some impressive improvements from majority of the class. Even some of the seasoned shooters seem to adjust on how they were shooting.
