Forging the Clinch Pick with Alec Steele

This masterclass, developed by Jake Hoback and presented by Kit Badger, offers comprehensive knife-making instruction. It covers essential topics from shop safety and machine operation to advanced lock geometry and design principles. The course also includes expert interviews and CAD resources to aid makers at all levels.

This video details the collaborative process of forging a custom AR-15 bayonet, dubbed the 'Zombie Slayer 2000,' by blacksmith Alec Steele and firearms instructor John Lovell. It showcases the use of specialized forging equipment and then transitions to a live-fire session. Lovell provides expert instruction on AR-15 rifle fundamentals and advanced Glock 19 pistol grip techniques, emphasizing recoil control and leverage, culminating in dynamic shooting drills.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This guide outlines a method for introducing new, potentially apprehensive individuals to firearms, as demonstrated by John Lovell. It emphasizes a controlled, safe, and positive first experience, starting with small calibers and instructor-led handling, before progressing to larger platforms. The approach prioritizes building confidence and dispelling fear through expert guidance and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously illustrates that while a shooter might achieve accuracy from an unstable stance, true shooting proficiency requires a stable base for balance and recoil management. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, emphasizes that a proper stance is fundamental, not just for accuracy but for overall control and readiness. The demonstration shows how instability leads to a loss of balance after firing, highlighting the practical importance of a solid stance.

John Lovell, a professional tactical instructor, demonstrates the correct way to utilize a vertical foregrip on an AR-15. He advises against a 'gangster' grip, instead promoting a technique where the foregrip is used as a hand stop to pull the rifle into the shoulder for better recoil control. The guide also covers using the foregrip to brace against obstacles for increased shooting platform stability.
