We get asked quite frequently what our logo stands for, so we thought we’d write an article about what it means to us.
The skull represents the individual and the notch represents the information, knowledge and solutions being acquired. The shield symbolizes the defense against imminent threats, both foreign and domestic.
Essentially you keep your eyes and ears open to absorb the information at ITS, hence the mouthless skull. Not that we don’t advocate expressing your opinion here, we always have. That’s why we value your comments so much, it helps us learn too. [Read More…]

The book Surviving A Disaster by Tony Nester has been on our recommended reading list for quite some time.

Self-reliance is a guiding principle we took to heart when developing ITS Tactical. We strongly believe that without the proper mindset, all we attempt to teach here is potentially wasted.
Through preparation, learning and applying these skills with reinforcement, the proper mindset will be attained. This is what Nester drives home in Surviving A Disaster. [Read More…]

The Shooting Range Box is great to take for a day of shooting, or a multiple day class located far away from help if your rifle goes down. [Read More…]
