Practical Tactical

This week we have something a little different for the show.  We profusely apologize for not having gotten out the interview shows we expected to, however there was a technical error with the recording software and while we have everything the guest said, for an unknown reason we do not have our side of the conversation. Ultimately we are in the process of getting those interviews fixed/edited, but it is taking longer than expected. Compound that issue with a head cold and preparing to be gone for a week at DARC, and you have a whole lot of fail on our part. Recently Casey was interviewed by another podcast called Podcasting 101. This podcast is about podcasters, and how they got into podcasting, etc. Ultimately, I believe you will find it enjoyable, as it talks a lot about the podcast and how it came to be, and answers a lot of questions I get pretty regularly about how the show started and all that jazz. I hope you enjoy it--its a little different than the normal shows we do, as I am the interviewee this time, but it really  was a fun show. Check out the Podcasting 101 show in iTunes and Stitcher as they talk to all manner of folks--many very high end podcasters have been on the show, and who knows, you may find another show you're interested in!! -Casey   As always, don't forget to Listen, Like and SHARE! On your favorite social media platform, and leave us a rating/ review on iTunes or your favorite podcast program!    The Practical Tactical Podcast and Blog are presented free of charge.

Casey interviews Ephraim Rogers the President of Warrior Shoot Event Group (WSEG)   Sponsors ALL OF THEM!   About WSEG The WSEG is a non-profit organization who's sole purpose is putting on events to help wounded personnel get back on the range to remember their abilities and not their disabilities. Mission “It is our mission to dynamically empower battlefield wounded Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors by providing events that re-enforce the warrior ethos and provide technical and tactical opportunities while promoting self-worth and the drive to be a viable asset to the community.” –WSEG Inc. These types of events are essential to our Warriors for a number of reasons: 1) Many US shooting ranges are not handicapped accessible or are limited to certain areas. 2) The financial strain of recovery may preclude a wounded service member from having the discretionary income needed to enjoy range activities or warrior based events. 3) Many service members do not have the support personnel needed for a safe and enjoyable event or support network to build contacts in the industry. Knowing that healthy morale is the key to the recovery process, WSEG provides wounded troops the opportunity to not only to receive rehabilitating firearms training but also to enjoy themselves and expand their relationships with their community and industry. Company Overview The Warrior Shoot Event Group (WSEG) was started in 2007 as an idea to take service members wounded in combat to a firing range to help them retain or rediscover their fighting spirit. Over the years this idea has blossomed into organized recreational events where Warriors get a chance to shoot various weapons at a firing range, receive further rehabilitating firearms training, and compete in shooting competitions for prizes donated by members of the tactical/fighter community.   Interview Ephraim Rogers Background & Experience US Army WSEG - Warrior Shoot Events Group How did you come up with the concept of the WSEG? Incorporated 2009 - Nonprofit What challenges have you seen with the concept? Tell me about past WSEG Events Future Role How has larger organizations (i.e. Wounded Warrior Project) effected WSEG How have you addressed potential problems (i.e. Murder of Chris Kyle) Upcoming Events 100% Nonprofit All funds are used to support the group & excess is donated to other organizations.
