Events Gallery: Summit in the Sand Dave Merrill October 10, 2017 Join the Conversation At RECOIL, we review every product fairly and without bias.

Learn More This last weekend we had our very first RECOIL Event: Summit in the Sand. Students got training time with the likes of Dan Brokos, Feddy Osuna, Chad McBroom, and Glen Stilson covering everything from carbines to knife work, and even some man-tracking. Participants didn't have to bring anything other than themselves, and they walked away with some new skillsets and gear. If you weren't able to make it this time around–fear not, this is but the first of many. Below is a randomly organized gallery chock full of student-submitted photographs (click on any to view fullsize and start gallery view). Oh, and thanks to sponsor support, everyone was able to get hands on new gear and have all weapons and ammunition provided for a day and a half of training for a mere $200.
