We’re getting ramped up here at ITS HQ to head out to Elm Fork Shooting Range in Dallas, TX this Saturday for the Silencers Are Legal Shoot. The shoot is put on by our friends at Silencerco and we’re not only a sponsor of the event, but we’ll also have a booth set up at the shoot.
We’ll have the ITS Store set up on Saturday with an exclusive morale patch we had made up just for the shoot (shown in the photo to the right.) We’ll be donating the proceeds to the American Silencer Association, so be sure to stop by and pick up a patch while you’re there. You can also stop by for a free Kill Cliff endurance and recovery drink (while supplies last.)
There’s an awesome raffle that’s going on during the shoot as well that benefits the ASA. There’s some fantastic prizes to be won, including silencers from Silencerco, AAC, SWR, a Nightforce scope and other goodies from us and our friends at Lone Star Medics and Strikemark.
Tickets to the shoot are only $12 and raffle tickets are $10. In order to avoid inventory issues and overselling items, the ITS Store will be temporarily closed starting today and will reopen Monday, April 30th. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
What started as an internal joke here at ITS, has manifested itself into our newest morale patch. While our Grab Your Helmet Patch is definitely not for the easily offended, we feel it’s perfect for those situations where it really has reached that level.
These 4″ tall x 3.5″ wide Grab Your Helmet Patches feature the kind of helmet you’d most likely grab when things get retarded, a ballistic-rated one! The subdued patch features hook velcro sewn on the back to stick them anywhere you want!
UPDATE: Congratulations to the winners! 1st place winner: Adam Z. (Facebook), 2nd place winner: Ben G. (YouTube), 3rd place winner Dan B. (Twitter). Please contact us within 48 hours to claim your prizes! Thank you to all who participated and to everyone for their continued support!

I’m very excited to introduce Survival Resources as our newest advertiser on ITS Tactical. John D. McCann, who owns and runs Survival Resources, has been a contributor here on ITS and written some excellent books on survival that I’d highly recommend you check out.
Survival Resources is an online resource that provides survival kits, components and emergency preparedness products that are designed to enhance your ability to survive in any emergency situation. I’ve personally purchased many components from John over the years and can’t recommend Survival Resources highly enough.
John has the unique attention to detail to keep up with a multitude of small kit components that you need to keep your kits fully stocked. Back when I started ITS, one of the first articles was going over the pocket survival kit I’d built after reading his book, Build the Perfect Survival Kit.
Make sure you head over to Survival Resources and see all the awesomeness they have to offer!
We’ve been wanting to create something for a long time now on ITS Tactical to honor all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our way of life. I often get asked about the memorial bracelet I wear on my right wrist and its significance.
I’ve actually been alternating memorial bracelets in remembrance of three SEALs I went to BUD/s with that have lost their lives since the beginning of the war. Marc Lee, Alex Ghane and Jason Workman. It’s my way of never forgetting them, striving to do good and living life to its fullest each and every day. I know that’s what they’d want, to never forget them and what they died for. [Read More…]
Our MultiCam ETA Trauma Kit Pouches are back in stock today and now featuring Murdock Webbing’s Jacquard Woven MultiCam Webbing. This new webbing is superior to printed webbing that eventually wears out, exposing the light colored webbing underneath the printing.
Woven in the USA and extremely abrasion resistant, the Murdock Jacquard Webbing meets all NIR (Near Infared) requirements established by Natick. It’s also been approved by a government certified lab according to our friends at Soldier Systems, whom we first heard about this webbing from last year. We’re excited to be offering it now on our ETA Trauma Kit Pouches.
Pick yours up here in the ITS Store today!
After months of planning, we’re excited to finally release details on our inaugural ITS Tactical Muster and skill-set development excursion.
The Muster integrates all the common skill-sets we advocate here on ITS into one long weekend packed full of instruction on Lock Picking, Knot Tying, Rappelling, Fire & Shelter Building, Camp Gadgets & Stoves, Medical (including TCCC principles), Navigation and Geocaching. All this while spending the evenings enjoying great camradarie and sleeping under the stars.
Bringing our community together, the Muster will be your chance to spend a few days with the crew from ITS Tactical, get hands-on and learn together. The Muster attendance will be limited to 50 people and available to our Life Members, Plank Owners and Crew Leaders only.
While the Muster won’t be a physically demanding event, you’ll be hiking and climbing so your level of fitness should allow for this. You’re going to get dirty, you’re going to be tired, but you’ll leave with more knowledge than you came with, great memories and friendships forged. [Read More…]
Our good friends at Silencerco have recently announced the 1st Annual Silencers Are Legal Shoot, an inexpensive way to try out suppressors from all the big name companies in the industry. ITS Tactical is a sponsor for this awesome event and you’ll also get to visit us in the vendor tent where we’ll have our complete product line for sale, including a custom patch we’re making just for the show you won’t be able to get anywhere else!
Come support the industry and invite your friends to learn about suppressors including: uses, benefits, and how to purchase them. The event is taking place in our backyard at Elm Fork Shooting range here in Dallas, Texas. It’s a great facility and you can’t beat $12 to shoot everyone’s suppressors! What’s even better is that there will be ammo vendors on site too, like HPR, making sure your guns are well fed. Vendor tents will be located right on the firing line for easy access to test the most current products on the market.
The silenced fun happens from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday April 28th. In addition to the awesome vendors like us, there’s also raffles going on and you’ll have a chance to win a few things we’ll be donating too! An odd addition to mention is that all live fire has to be suppressed, no unsuppressed shooting is allowed!
Here’s a list of the current suppressor manufacturers that will be in attendance: Silencerco/SWR, AAC, Surefire, YHM, GEMTECH, Liberty Suppressors, Innovative Arms, Hunter Town Arms and Tactical Solutions.
Click here to purchase your tickets and we hope to see everyone in Dallas on April 28th, be sure to stop by our booth and say hi!
First off we’d like to thank Julie Golob for donating an autographed copy of her book SHOOT: Your guide to Shooting and Competition for us to giveaway to a lucky reader here on ITS Tactical.
We’ve totaled up all the entries from our review post a few days ago and have come up with the big winner! As always, we use random.org to be fair and choose the winners from our giveaways and contests.
Congratulations to Bill Robertson! An email should already be on its way to you with instructions on how to claim your book, but if you don’t receive it please contact us.
Even if you didn’t win, I’d like to encourage everyone to check out Julie’s book. It’s a tremendous resource that can not only help new shooters become more educated and better prepared, but also help shooting sports enthusiasts confidently take the next step into competition.
