Getting to teach with (and learn from) my bro and true master of the gauge Zach Cox was an honor.

Earlier this week, HiTS cadre members David Cagle and Tanner Smith competed in the 18th annual Oklahoma State SWAT Competition with their team. This competition brings together hundreds of SWAT officers from various tactical teams across the state to compete in events related to fitness and law enforcement hard skills.
Both of our instructors performed well, with David competing in the pistol and 2-gun match, and Tanner competing in the pistol and hostage rescue team event. David ended up winning 1st place overall individual in the 2-gun match among a strong field of shooters.
Staying in the arena is mandatory.
