I know I'm a homer but I feel like we are for sure top 10 and maybe top 5

I have a few more questions. I will most likely use my S&W 9mm Shield. It has a laser sight, but I could use the iron sights also. The laser sight is at the front of the trigger bracket.

1) What do y'all do when you are sitting/driving your vehicle? Do you take the handgun/holster out? This seems like the most uncomfortable.

2) Would you take a one on one or a group class?

3) What is the distance for the live firing? I have access to a outdoor range I could practice on whenever it warms up some.



1. Depends on how long I'm driving. On a trip I take it out and put it in the door or console. Around town I usually don't.
2. Group class is fine and that's how most instructors offer it.
3. I want to say 3 and 7 yards. I'm a CSSO so we do 3/7/15 for our qual course.... but I think the basic concealed is a lot less detailed than that.
In Arkansas you have the choice of the basic or enhanced card. Enhanced lets you carry more places.

Get good at 3 yards and 7 yards and you won't have any issues. REALLY focus on trigger finger isolation. Make sure you can trigger pull without causing the rest of your hand to torque the gun. That was the single biggest thing that improved my shooting.
I went from 460 to 491 on our qual course in 1 year and that was 90% of what I worked on.
Learn to shoot with both eyes open also. It will help you with target aquisition when trying to shoot for time.

All that said I just looked and for enhanced you do shoot 3/7/15 50 rounds total.
But it's easier than our CSSO qual course in that you shoot from the ready and don't have to draw and holster. You reload when you want to not on command, and you don't have to shoot strong hand only and support hand only.

Good Luck.... you should be fine.

I think it's a good start for the RB room. Hopefully Settles returns also.

My wish list at the moment from the portal:

CJ Baxter 6-1 227 Texas
Michael Allen 5-11 215 Marshall
Omiri Wiggins 5-10 206 La Tech

Kid from Liberty is rumored to hit the portal and would become a priority if so.
Also, don't know if he will portal but the RB from Washington would fit nicely in the SEC.

re: What is your conceal carry ?

Carrying a SS CR920 but have several other options... that's just my favorite one by far.
1. No Laser sight.... too much time to acquire the target.
2. Concealed would be any carry form designed to hide the weapon from sight.
3. Arkansas has a pretty straight forward process for concealed carry. I can put you in touch with a guy if you are in the El Dorado/Camden/Magnolia area but there are plenty of folks around.
4.CONCEALED... open will create more problems than you realize....
5. Check out Alien gear. I use the Photon and it has multiple options for IWB and OWB carry depending on your comfort.
I carry IWB for my job and that's what I've gotten used to... not for everyone but it's what I prefer.
Loving the improvement of this team. They play hard, play with energy. Meshing well together. We have elite guards and we all know how important that is come tourney time.
Very promising! This bunch is fun!!!!!
Hate it for that kid. He was caught up in the moment.
But as a coach, you start early teaching kids to win or lose with class.
Gotta be all business until the last whistle.

Hiring an FCS HC as a position coach is underwhelming? Never change Arkansas fans


I have no idea what our fans want except the obvious answer to every question.... BUT BOBBY......

Nathan would be a good fit for QBs. He has good relationships with a lot of the HS coaches and I'm guessing he would the in-state recruiter on staff.

Not crazy about that hire.


You don't watch a lot of football do you?

re: Nate Allen dead at 75

Yeah said deal. Heard the guys talking on the radio about him this morning. Two legends in the state media in the same year.
As a HS coach I had the chance to go to spring practices at Arkansas, Miss. State, and 'Bama among others.
It's not just the linemen either. I got to watch Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson, and Eddie Lacy go through RB drills at 'Bama. Full grown men that are freak athletes.... not to mention Julio Jones on the other side of the field catching balls.
Scary how big and fast they are.
Yeah Louisville is a good team. That should age to be a good win for us.

I think this may be where the man really shines. Sell Ice to Eskimos :pimp:

Ron Roberts as DC would not suck. Hope there is some truth to it....
Never liked it.... We can win with better class than that....
Knox surprising me. Really expected a big jump from him.
TB on the other hand finally living up to the hype from when he first transferred.

This team is fun!!!
He 'bout to feast on some Wrights!!!! :dude:
Good to see the local market kicking in some NIL!
2 was like "oh snap" this man crazy! :rotflmao:

re: Big Deer killed around Dubach?

Agree but I have seen/heard of some studs being shot in that area. My son when he was at Tech a few years back took a picture of an absolute brute over by the Wal Mart in Ruston and didn't a B&C buck get shot a few years ago near Choudrant. Never really knew that area was such a trophy hotspot but all in all though this buck looks like a Fred that had an ear tag before this pic was taken.


I have a buddy that killed a 165 when he was in school at Tech. Bowkill in city limits and tracked that thing for like two miles. I think I remember him saying he tracked him across a park and a school playground. Crazy story but the deer was an absolute hammer.
yeah I assumed there would be several that would hold off. Hopefully that helps us.
