Featured SureFire Field Notes – Bill Blowers Recoil Staff August 23, 2016 Join the Conversation At RECOIL, we review every product fairly and without bias. Making a purchase through one of our links may earn us a small commission, and helps support independent gun reviews. Learn More As we mentioned before, SureFire recently started a new informational/educational video series called Field Notes. The first one featured Travis Haley of Haley Strategic Partners. This one is narrated/instructed by Bill Blowers of Tap Rack Tactical. Although the hosts of each video are using SureFire equipment, one thing we like about the series (so far) is that they're not sales pitches*. They're just talking about advantages, disadvantages, schools of thought and methodology. That benefits all of us, regardless of equipment preference. *Though we'll take the opportunity to point out SF is running a back-to-school “Back to the Grind” sale right now. Details on that can be found here. Subscribe to the Surefire YouTube channel here. Find them online here and on Instagram @surefire_llc and on Facebook right here.
