No vegetation to read, no kestrel access, what tools do you have left to call wind?

Mirage. You have mirage. Latest episode is available now on Pepperbox.

[American Marksman @AmericanMarks]

We’ve had some awesome content releases over the last few months, showcasing some pretty awesome people.

We’re just getting started.

[Ronnie Adkins @RonnieAdkins]

Soon, I swear. This stuff was more of a bear to put together than we expected.

Hope you enjoy it.

Getting friends into Long Range is honestly the best part of this journey.

@ngprecision @AmericanMarks @ronnieadkins This is our high angle mountain location near Nordegg. Alberta.

[American Marksman @AmericanMarks]

🔊: Listen to RFMA's Rob Furlong call the shots and put Ronnie on target for 2 of 3 rounds at 1,446 meters (1,581 yards).

This is just the OPENING, not including the pesky cold-bore, target for Canada's King of 2 Mile competition. Full video soon.

[Ronnie Adkins @RonnieAdkins]

Folks. This next video is probably one of the finest things I've ever been a part of producing.

I can't wait for us to hit our stride on @AmericanMarks. Gimme a minute, getting closer.

[Ronnie Adkins @RonnieAdkins]

Next up, we shoot at rocks from stupid-far away.

[American Marksman @AmericanMarks]

It would have been the longest shot Ronnie's ever hit. He just had to be literally anyone other than himself to hit it.

Rob said so, and it was true; he didn't hit it.

[American Marksman @AmericanMarks]

We sat down with Rob Furlong to talk about his thoughts on firearms ownership in Canada.

From 2002-2009, Rob held the world record for the longest kill in combat as a Canadian Sniper. He is also a former Law Enforcement Officer and now runs a marksmanship academy.

People.

[Ronnie Adkins @RonnieAdkins]

I have a confession. I recently LARPed in a helicopter with my friends.

I’ll do it again, too. I’m gonna make a video about it, in fact.

[American Marksman @AmericanMarks]

“Rob can I shoot that?”
“No”
“What about that?”
“No”

Glassing for targets to train on in the mountains. It’s basically rocks, but the hardest part is picking your favorite to turn into smaller rocks.

On a serious note, a few weeks ago I went to Canada 🇨🇦. You're probably aware of that, but might not be aware of exactly why.

Oh, Canada...

I went there not just to shoot from mountaintops and have fun with friends, but because my friend and business partner, who is Canadian, is very concerned about the direction of his Country. I think he's rightfully concerned. I also went there because I have concerns about the path of my own (in many ways), and there are things happening in Canada that I can see the foundations of in the United States. So he and I took a videography team to try and show people what's happening. Specifically stated in this circumstance, I'm talking about Firearms Ownership.

I did this trip under my new @AmericanMarks banner because the entire purpose of American Marksman is about the preservation of culture. Marksmanship is a culture with an obvious basis in Firearms Ownership, and I do have very sincere concerns about that being lost over time. I even took a job with a Gun Rights organization on top of all my other projects because of it. I've competed in shooting sports since high school, and I've shot rifles and handguns since before I knew how to spell my name. That very same culture is so much more prevalent in Canada than you might think. I went to Canada to show you that, as I've experienced it over the years, and how it's being forcefully stripped literally right next to us.

Prior to our trip, Canada had banned thousands of firearms from ownership, costed its citizens tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost property, shuttered businesses, and there was an EXPECTATION that confiscation MIGHT happen in the future under the guise of a 'buyback'. It hadn't yet. This was less than a month ago. Something like three weeks ago we were talking about JUST the possibility.

I wanted to understand that dynamic, a Government disarming its populace, so off we went to Canada to film a feature-length documentary on it all, complete with interviews of prominent Canadian faces, regular Canadians on the street, and even some of our own American Gun Rights voices. Here's the problem...

Canada started confiscating firearms not more than 48 hours after my departure.

The feature-length documentary will have to wait. It'll take us too long in post-production, so we're going to release the interviews we did for that in their full value context, without waiting for all the things that come along with post-production on a project of this size. They won't be sexy, but it's data, and it's culture, and its information that I think people should see without being dressed up, especially when time isn't on my friends to the North's side.

It's not just me speaking, either. We have Gun Rights voices from the US speaking with Gun Rights voices from Canada, Canadians speaking to Canadians, Americans speaking to Americans, and Americans speaking to Canadians. Most importantly, we have humans speaking to humans about what it means to live free.

We will be bringing everything back to a full feature-length video that helps us all understand it all. Those end-state concerns about the 'slippery slope' are quite literally the state Canada is in. The salami is sliced and is now gone. We'll still be doing that, a full feature-length video, but the information is more important than waiting for the color to be perfect and the music to be sync'd. I'm posting this as an honest ask for your attention to it all. Many good people went into putting all of this together, and it was going to have a ton of pomp and circumstance with it when we released it. We've gotta piece meal it now just so we can get it out there.

Why, Ronnie?

Canadian gun confiscations can't physically impact me as an American right now. They won't come for mine, plainly speaking. 30 years ago Canadians (probably) said the same about Australian gun confiscations. The culture created by these actions absolutely can impact me, though. It lends to a path that is almost certainly and entirely the basis for which I have the right to bear arms. I'd personally rather it not get there here in the United States, because I happen to believe that I know what that will entail after a career and lifetime as a student of War.

Please watch these as we're able to release them, even if you're not Canadian. They matter to both Nations. The following Organizations and people were a part of this, and you'll find us talking about it quite heavily over the next few weeks:

Daily DOPEamine - A 2000M shot is no simple task, but it was just a chip shot for some of the competitors at the @RFMA_Official King of 2 Mile.
