Pro Ears History
An FYI:
There is a bit of discrepancy about the foundation of this company in the public perception. When I was in Bisley England for the 1993 IPSC world shoot I ran into John from Aviator Electronics. He was demonstrating the first versions of his new independent sound reduction ear muffs. I was seriously impressed and ended up talking with him enough during the week that we came to a North American exclusive agreement for the product.
When I arrived back in the US I called up John and had him send over 16 pair of earmuffs. They had red cups and DAMN did they stand out on the range! I took them to TNS (a local event) and sold out in 32 minutes. I was the original founder of Pro-Ears. I performed all of the initial branding, product selection, artwork, packaging, and initial importation of product. Dan N. then started the formation of the corporate structure and fund raising. At our first board meeting I didn’t have a lawyer on my side. Lesson learned the hard way? Walked in with the exclusive, walked out with 3% interest and later sold my stock back for $5k. At age 22 that was my first major disappointment in business and a business partner/friend. Looking back it cost me a lot financially but it still maybe the cheapest lesson I have ever learned. Always have a 3rd party business attorney involved in any major company negotiation or stock distribution issue.
America, gun sales and life.
Enjoy the Super Bowl everyone! I have just read a very disconcerting quote from a gun dealer in the Mid-West. ” Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone.
This isn’t a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned.
This is a society preparing for war.”
My God I hope he’s wrong. I hope the current establishment starts understanding that really quick before things get out of hand.
The irony of the situation is that all of the talk by by the Admin has finally woken the average American up to their one of their basic rights. We are now the best armed society in the history of the world and more prepared for any event than ever before. The potential crash of the banking system band and market reset of up to 90% now more than half of the country can at least have a chance to defend themselves and their families. I do want to thank the Obama/Baden/Dems for the unexpected consequences of their actions. Thank you Democrats for arming more Americans than EVER! Now America is ready to deal with enemies foreign and domestic as the founding Fathers envisioned.

Tip On Eye Speed
“You can only shoot as fast as you can see.” Well its true! Increasing your eye speed can have a dramatic impact on your shooting skills. Time lost on target transitions can result in seconds added per stage. Here is a way to increase your eye speed and decrease your target transitions.
Without your gun, take two one inch black dots with a 1/4″ white center and put them about five feet apart on your living room wall. Now standing about five feet back bring the white dot on the left one into focus. Quickly snap your eyes only to the other dot and bring the other white center dot into focus. Don’t move your head use just your eyes. Now go back and forth as fast as possible bringing the center dot into focus each time. You will probably start noticing how your eyes first locate the black dot with your peripheral vision and then how your eyes zero in on the center and bring it into sharp clarity. Try this four a couple of minutes. You will probably develop a light headache, take a break and repeat. Your eyes have never had to work this hard before. Once you see some improvement put one dot three feet above the other one and practice vertical transitions with your eyes.
Now, move the dots back to the horizontal plane and put one just out of view. This way you have to move your head to get to it.
Your eyes always lead everything! They are the fastest part on the human body. Use your eyes to snap over and start searching for the other dot, your head then automatically follows.
It’s time to add the gun–unloaded with no ammo in the vicinity of your practice area! (Assuming the use of the dot) Put the dot on the first white spot and pull the trigger smoothly. The difficulty of the shot will determine if you need to see the dot lift. Now snap your eyes to the other dot, focus clearly on the white spot. The gun will be catching up with your eyes and slowing to the white spot where your will pull the trigger again.
DO NOT slam the gun to a stop, slide it into position. A good analogy for this is braking your car coming up to a stop sign.
You don’t hit the brakes at the stop sign, you start preparing to stop earlier (except for those who California Stop). What you don’t want to see is the dot jiggling around when the gun stops.
NOTE: If you are shooting Iron sights vs. optics you would bring the front blade into focus after clearly focusing where you want the bullet to go.
Practice smooth perfect transitions before trying to speed up. You have to teach your body what you want it to do before going faster. This also applies to reloads, draws, etc. and will help when you go faster so that you won’t have any extra unneeded movements that waste time. Burn it in and then speed it up.
Good Luck!
