For the past couple of weeks we have been doing some serious planning. We are in the mindset that this is the year for M-W Tactical to take off bigger than last year. We are doing a series of contests for the viewers and fans, from shooting to just appreciation. The new shooting season is upon us, and this means the start of great things to come.
M-W Tactical would like to expand their shooting classes to various surrounding areas. We are asking for donations to assist us with getting more equipment such as steel plates, cardboard targets, paper targets, colored tape to reuse the targets, and various supplies to keep a class going. If you would like to assist in supporting us with a monetary donation, you can click on the gofundme tab to the right of this article or visit http://www.gofundme.com/mjwoodland17 and give your donation. We thank everyone who has already donated.
We have our YouTube channel up and running now. Please check it out and tell us what you think. This is a new challenge to us as we are learning to make videos, edit videos, and produce videos all in the same breath. We are about to introduce some new intros that we created from scratch and try to find the perfect viewing intro for M-W Tactical. Sounds like a contest in the works....something to think about. For those who missed the first podcast interview of Michael Woodland, you can catch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3VIR8Q_6Jg and be sure to give me your thoughts on it. The interview was layered with different pics of Michael Woodland at various locations shooting.
For you social media savvy practitioners we also have a Google plus page you can visit. This page will be sharing some of the same information that is on our Facebook page. These two pages will be the place where you can come see new pics and information going on with M-W Tactical. We are about to start branching into product reviews. If you know a business who has products that can be related to a tactical or shoot aspect, please feel free to direct them to us so we can give you a first class review on the product. This approach will take place as it did when we would get new equipment in the military. We would try it out, then we will look for ways to make it better for use. Contact us at mwoodlandtactical@gmail.com for more information on how we can review your products.
We at M-W Tactical do believe in training and performing to the best of our capabilities. At the same time we have to look at our equipment to make this happen. We use a laser training aid that is very helpful in more ways than one. The Next Level SIRT and LASR training package gives us the ability to almost turn the living room and office into a shooting range with a laser applied training aid. We will be doing a video review of the product and share with everyone how we have hours of fun training in the comfort of the living room. Also we will be talking about internal modifications on the competition and conceal carry gun that I use. My theories are pretty interesting, and so far have been proven true among friends. Check back and watch this product review on the M-W Tactical YouTube channel and read about it on the M-W Tactical blog about what will take place inside of the firearm that I shoot competition and conceal carry.
There are a couple events that have me pretty excited with the start of this new shooting season. The USPSA classifier took place on 10 January 2015 in Phenix City, AL. These results will be published by 10 February 2015 since the USPSA website has been down for a couple weeks for maintenance. The U.S. Army Small Arms Competition is taking place 1-7 February 2015 at Ft. Benning. As of right now, I am on reserve status pending a slot opens up. I have my fingers crossed so I can participate in this competition against other shooters across the Army. Remember, I came in seventh place over all and took first place in the Bolt Action Divsion in the U.S. Army Long Range Competition back in September 2014, and I'm interested to see how I place in the Small Arms Competition. 13-14 March 2015 is the Alabama Sectional taking place at the East Alabama Gun Club located in Phenix City, AL. This is the main match that I have been talking about for some time. I have been practicing everyday preparing for this match. Good luck to all the participants in the Alabama Sectionals coming up in March 2015. That takes us to the month of April 2015 where I will be doing some training in the the Tuscaloosa Alabama Police Department. The catch to this training is that it will be taught by the beard man himself, Chris Costa. For those of you who do not know who Chris Costa is, it started with Magpul with the DVD collection of "The Art of Shooting"series. I will be taking this course and bringing back a vast array of knowledge from a different style of shooting and incorporating this within the classes taught by M-W Tactical.
We are also hosting a 300 yard shooting challenge that will be taking place 31 January 2015 at the East Alabama Gun Club. This challenge is nothing more than a chance for those who follow M-W Tactical to win a 'MonstersCrew' shirt and a shirt from one of our sponsors, Enlisted 9 Fight Company. We are talking with our other sponsors as well to see what they are willing to donate to make this a more than worthwhile package deal for the winner of the challenge. So here are the rules for this challenge. Either go to the Facebook page or Google plus page and look for the post that talks about the challenge (<--or click the blue line). Comment under that feed and tell us how many attempts you think it will take me, Michael Woodland, to hit steel at 300 yards with his Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm. This firearm has not been modified in any way other than cosmetically (Stippling of hand grip, colored in the etched in lettering, and coloring in the original sights). We are still working out the details where we can host a live video chat on YouTube and announce the winner.
M-W Tactical has 'MonstersCrew' shirts for sale for $16. These shirts are made of 100% cotton and are very comfortable on the skin. Get yours today with secured ordering at http://www.m-wtactical.com/#!shop--cart/c1rxi, but there is one catch when you receive your shirt....we ask that you send us a pic of you wearing your 'MonstersCrew' shirt in whatever activity you are participating in or just take a pic of you in your shirt taking a selfie.
As you can see the start of the new year has been and will be very productive for M-W Tactical. We would like to keep that momentum going but want it to get bigger in the process. If you haven't done so yet, visit our social media links and either like or subscribe and follow us on this journey through 2015. Please if you can donate to http://www.gofundme.com/mjwoodland17 so we can help those who are not afforded the opportunity to shoot. Thank you for your support and we would like to hear from you.
