Cold has a way of exposing what’s real. Dear Friends, You feel the cold differently once the day winds down. It settles in when you stop moving. When you sit by the fire and finally notice how stiff your hands feel, how tight your shoulders have gotten, how shallow your breathing has become. Cold doesn’t […]
When You Learn to Wait
Dear Friends, There’s a moment in hunting that separates patience from impulse. You’re flat on the ground. Cold works its way through your elbows and chest. Your breathing feels louder than it should. Everything in you wants to rush the moment—to settle it, to act, to be done with the waiting. But you don’t move […]
A Christmas Shot Worth Taking
What the season can teach you…if you slow down to see it. Dear Friends, The Christmas season has a way of exposing what’s really going on inside you. You can be surrounded by lights, music, family, and still feel like you’re running on empty. Or maybe your year hit hard, and the season shows you […]
Misfire Doesn’t Mean You’re Done
Dear Friends, If you’ve ever spent time on the range, you know that feeling when a round doesn’t fire. You line up the shot, take a breath, pull the trigger…and nothing. Just silence. For a second, your stomach drops. But you know the drill. You stay calm, clear the chamber, and get ready to fire […]
When Peace Feels Too Quiet
Dear Friends, There’s a kind of silence that used to make me nervous. You know the kind. When the world slows down for a minute. You’re not in a fight. You’re not trying to fix something. The texts stop. The pressure dips. It’s just… calm. And for a lot of us guys, especially those wired […]
The Weight of Influence
Who’s Really Leading? Dear Friends, There’s something you learn real quick in a fight—whether it’s fists, words, or just a hard week: you’re either leading the moment or being led by it. The same goes for influence. You’re either owning your voice or echoing somebody else’s. Guys, Guns, and God gets right into it. Not […]
Gift of Focus
When life distracts you, how do you fight to stay dialed in? Dear Friends, I once heard a range instructor say, “You can’t hit what you don’t focus on.” Sounds simple—until you’re trying to hold your aim steady with sweat running down your back and noise all around you. Distractions are everywhere. And when you’re […]
Squeezed…But Not Shaken
When pressure builds, what comes out of you? Dear Friends, I remember standing on the range, finger just barely resting on the trigger. I’d done everything right—feet planted, eyes locked in, breathing steady. But there’s that final moment—the squeeze—that reveals everything. If I flinched, if I panicked, if I rushed the shot… I missed—every time. […]
When Correction Feels Like a Curveball
Dear Friends, You ever get blindsided by someone calling you out? Maybe it was your boss, a buddy, your spouse—or even one of your kids. It’s that gut-punch moment where your pride flares up and everything inside you wants to push back, shut down and walk away. There was a time when I thought correction […]
Bravery Under Fire
There are moments in life when words seem to fall short—when someone’s actions are so courageous, so quietly heroic, they demand more than a passing mention. Today, Guys, Guns, and God is honored to share the story of a young man whose integrity and courage deeply reflect the values we strive to uphold: responsibility, service, […]
