He's back. Bryan Veliz of Centrifuge Training and SlyTac Training came back to So Cal to teach Low Light Opposed. 

Bryan began his career as a state law enforcement officer in 2012 serving as an active patrol officer for several years. Within his first two years in the field, he was assigned as a member of his agency’s Special Response Team where he later was responsible for conducting firearms training and qualifications, as well as the instruction of both pistol and carbine weapons platforms. Bryan holds several Law Enforcement and Firearms Instructor certifications and continues to serve in law enforcement.

We sat down with Bryan to talk about Low Light Opposed, gear for low light, how to maximize a low light class, vetting instructors, his personal training journey and girl scout cookies - yes you read that correctly.

Jon "Krash" Krashna of Sabot Foundation is back! A different format than our typical discussion, Krash joined us to share stories of his time in the music industry. Like the storytelling craftsman he is, Krash talks about the business side of the industry where not all that glitters is gold. He talks about the music, and differences in yesterday and today. He talks about the dangers facing today’s artists in an increasingly violent climate and how they can stay vigilant and owners of their own security.  
Krash and Sabot Foundation have been with Raven Wing since before our inception and it was an honor to sit down and talk story with him. We hope you enjoy and take an opportunity to come train with us where almost inevitably you will get a chance to meet Krash in person.

We sit down with Jared Reston, aka “T-1000” to talk training, B-8 hate (his unwavering focus on marksmanship and accuracy), and how he got into instruction. 

If you don’t know Jared’s story this is well worth a watch: https://youtu.be/ArDRg5SkuT0

Jared is a retired Jacksonville Sheriffs Officer, Detective in the Department of Homeland Security/Gang Investigations Unit, and was the assistant team leader and lead firearms instructor for the S.W.A.T. team. Jared has been involved in the successful resolution of over one thousand S.W.A.T. missions, including several lethal force incidents. Simply put, he’s the real deal. 

We are grateful to host Jared each year for classes here in So. Cal so make sure you sign up for his return in 2023!

Fabio joins us as we wrap day 1 of the My Own Defender / Raven Wing Limited USPSA Training Camp collaboration class. We talk about his move to TX, living in free America, how he is staying a resource in SoCal for current and new clients. We talk about the joys of  CCW holders getting doxxed by the State of CA, and Ethan kicks us off with some laughs. 

Pay close attention to our Instagram over the next few weeks as we have a couple of really cool Give Aways you will want to get it on! 

Grab a cold beverage, we were enjoying Dos Artes Repasado for this one, and enjoy!

Welcome back! With all of Raven Wing gathered for this one, we answer some hold over questions from our first Q&A episode, talk about the musician or the instrument, or if you grew up in the 80s like us the Indian or the Arrow, and close out with a discussion on what to consider for your first CCW gun. 

Sipping on some Eagle Rare after a day on the range this was a fun one with plenty of laughs, some good and not so good Hollywood gun handling and hopefully some useful info to consider on your firearms proficiency journey.

With a recent ruling from SCOTUS, we have been getting some questions related to concealed carry (CCW) gear, so we pivoted and solicited questions on Instagram and our Discord to see if we could fill an episode. Thanks to everyone who sent in questions, we did our best to get to them all but had to save a couple for when Ethan joins us next. 

We enjoyed this episode and the chance to interact, so grab a cold beverage - we were sipping Three Chord 12 year - listen in and jot down any questions for round two later this year.

A different topic but equally as enjoyable on this episode as we sit down with Matt Yuen from ProTech Knives. ProTech is a family owned knife company that has been building high quality American made knives since 1999. They have been described as "the art of manufacturing excellence meets old world craftsmanship," and Matts personal story into his role at ProTech and passion for these beautiful blades and the culture is infectious. You can't help but be excited for and a fan of Matt as he tells his story of shooting your shot and relentless work ethic. 

 And if you pay attention, you will learn how you can get your hands on unique and limited ProTech blades at really fair pricing!

Grab a drink, open your mind, and hide your wallet if you plan to look up ProTech, its a whole new addiction.

An episode we have been looking forward to creating for quite some time: the story behind why we exist.

We talk about how Raven Wing was formed and why, touch on our purpose, where we want to go and the community of shooters in So Cal we hope to help cultivate. We touch on vetting instructors, and close it out with some exciting product releases and partnerships and a couple of shoutouts to some companies - Ghostmen Designs and Stand 1 Armory, we fully support because we run their products. 

Sipping on some Eagle Rare, we had a blast making this episode and hope you enjoy and get motivated to join us on the range.

Another format departure as we feature another of the Raven Wing founders Ethan Fleitas, who coincidentally reveals one of the greatest nicknames during the episode. Ethan has a fascinating story of his journey into firearms which began in his childhood. 

Grab a drink of choice and buckle up. One of our longer episodes but well worth the listen as Ethan shares his story, his passion for teaching and how Raven Wing came into existence. He shares how he became the Mozart of zeroing IR devices on carbines, how and why he got so nice with the level III retention holsters and shares where you can see him on both TV and Movies as we talk about his acting career with a little sneak peak of what its like to be on set.

Tim Herron, aka the "Single Stack God" has been a single stack GM in USPSA since 2014. Tim has won numerous single stack titles, has his own Nighthawk Custom pistol, and may be one of the most passionate instructors we have encountered.  Tim has been teaching professionally since 2015 and loves working with people of all skill levels. A former auto cross racing career helped Tim fall in love with instruction and it shows. 

We have had the privilege to host Tim for the past couple of years and will host him again in June and Tim and AJ Zito in July so be sure to sign up. 

The time investment on this episode is well worth it as we discuss technique, self diagnosis, practice, how Tim got into teaching, and Tim shares some fantastic history on the competitive shooting sports.

Sit back and pay attention, a lot here you won't want to miss!
