No amount of cool gear can fix poor fundamentals and training. That is why we are dedicated to offering resources and training partners who are at the forefront of the industry. We firmly believe that exercising your inalienable right to keep and bear arms comes with the duty train to a high level of proficiency, constantly honing skills in the persuit of effectively utilizing the equipment we provide. This principle serves as the bedrock of the Bridge The Gap philosophy.
THE PLAYBOOK
With the ever increasing costs of ammo and equipment we believe in making every range trip as productive as possible. This starts with a foundational tool we call, "The Playbook". The Playbook is part organizational tool and drill aggregator. Sounds fancy, its not. Its a simple way to keep range trips organized and track your progress. We start with a three ring binder, multi-page protective sleeves, and our Sundown Industries Data Log. Some of our favorite free printable targets are found at Kinetic Consulting, Baer Solutions, T.Rex Arms, and Dot Torture. Print off multiple copies of each drill and a single data log for each corresponding drill. File these in their respective sleeves and now your playbook is ready to use. Notate your results on each target while downrange and transfer them to your Data Log during breaks and/or at the end of your range sessions. This is key in tracking progress and giving your future self insight into what conditions, obstacles, and improvements you made during the last session. Now get out and train!
