ETYMOTIC High-Definition Electronic EB 15-LE BlastPLG Earplugs
No matter what environment you operate in, we as human being are extremely dependent on our senses. For most of us, we are not running from predators or submersed into the food chain as our ancestors may have been. There are some, however, who have jobs, hobbies or indulge in sports that require us to use every sense available.
Let’s take hunting as an example, if you have spent any length of time watching and studying the habits of your prey, you get a perfect understanding of survival in action. You would see an animal making use of every sense the Creator instilled in him. A deer for instance; every step of all fours are planned not to make noise. His ears independently search like two satellite dishes rotating and scanning for the slightest noise that does not fit into the norm. His eyes constantly watch for any unusual movement and while his nose smells and processes every particle in the air. When the deer hears something, everything freezes; no more chewing and a pause in breathing, while all attention is on ears and eyes. Both ears focus on the direction he heard something and work together to pinpoint the source. If he detects an unusual sound it is a threat and he begins the warning stomp with a front leg.
This brings me to the point of the article. I have started protecting my ears from noise that I previously never worried about before. Since retiring from the Fire Service, I now control the level of sound entering my ears. These days, I spend more time in nature, not in the modern noise polluted world.
The challenge with hearing protection lies in trying to retain total environmental awareness without the risk of either acute or chronic hearing loss. So how can we improve our hearing and the mind’s ability to process what we hear while protecting our ears? The answer comes from the folks at Etymotic.
I personally have been using the ETYMOTIC EB 15-LE Blast PLG Earplugs. These plugs were created for Law Enforcement, SWAT teams and anyone that may be in a combat environment. The EB 15 Blast Plugs are designed so you maintain your natural hearing while protecting your hearing from continuous and impulse noise above safe levels. When wearing the EB 15, you are still able to communicate without yelling, provided everyone in your party is wearing a pair. The sound is uncompromised even though you have the device in your ears. There are two modes on the EB 15. The first setting is an adaptive hearing protection while maintaining blast protection. The second setting offers 5 times the hearing enhancement while still maintaining blast protection.
So what can the EB 15 offer for you? As a tactical squad commander, you could communicate with your team while maintaining normal hearing. Also, you could enhance your hearing by 5x the normal level with the same benefits, while being protected from damage caused by flash bang deployment or gunfire. Another added benefit with the EB 15’s enhanced mode comes in equipping you with the ability to hear more efficiently than your adversary, in turn giving you the advantage in detecting him before he does you.
While in either mode, another positive benefit of the EB 15 is your ability to track the location of where an unknown shooter just fired. Etymotic has done extensive scientific testing with existing military hearing devices versus several of theirs. Etymotic’s openly published the impressive results along with the processes on their website. Needless to say, the results give a huge advantage to military and law enforcement to maintain communication, situational awareness and hearing protection with an added benefit of hearing enhancement.
The EB 15 seems to do all they claim to do and there is plenty of scientific data to support the claims. There is more to them than just protection and enhancement. The experience of using the EB 15 in the 5x-enhanced mode is like unlocking another world. Some have said, it’s like rediscovering the world all over again.
I tried the assortment of ear tips until found the one that fit me best. I found I preferred the Gray 3-flange 8-13mm for most applications. If I am going to be doing activity where I am sweating for long periods of time, then small foam tips worked better for me and stayed in my ear more comfortably. I installed the #10 batteries and inserted them in my ear as the instructions stated. I clapped my hands to see if the Etymotic plugs electronically block out the noise like my other hearing protection does but instead, I just heard myself clap. I flipped them to enhanced 5x and bam! The world came alive! I started walking and wondered what the noise was that I was hearing and I discovered it was grass and debris I was crushing as I walked. I use to pride myself in how quiet I could walk through the woods only realizing now, I was actually making a lot of racquet.
After this initial experience, I was very eager to test these on the range. I loaded up my gear and went to my swamp firing range to shoot some steel. While in normal mode, I began shooting and could still hear the handgun. I had to check my ears; yes, they were still in place so I continued shooting. Although I was able to hear everything at the level I could beforehand, my ears were not bothered. It was amazing to be able to hear the mechanics of the pistol operating and the lead from hitting the steel target was perceived so clearly. I could actually hear the lead landing all around me from the splatter. I flipped the switch to enhance and repeated the drill. These earplugs were awesome. I could not leave them in enhanced mode though because I kept thinking someone was walking up on me. When I would turn around to look, it was the palmetto blades brushing against each other or a bird digging around in the bushes.
I have a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp coming up I can’t wait to use them there as well. In wrapping up, the last point I would make is the EB 15 doesn’t have to be used just for tactical situations. You could use them just as effectively bird watching, hunting, the opera or concerts. The EB 15 from ETYMOTIC can change your entire world and how you perceive it. Take a moment to visit the ETYMOTIC website and check out all there products and discover a new world like I did. Oh by the way, next deer season, we shall see if I can hear that warning stomp!

Police cameras capture shoot-out with Chicago carjacker
Chicago police have released video of a shootout with a carjacking suspect, in which one officer was injured. The swiftly released footage comes shortly after the controversial death of black teenager Paul O’Neal, also during a stolen car chase.
Dashboard camera footage, released Wednesday, shows the Tuesday evening pursuit of a stolen vehicle in the southern suburb of Roseland. At one point, the driver of the stolen SUV points a gun out of the window and fires at the police cruiser several times.
One of the pursuing officers was grazed by a bullet to the head, and can be heard yelling in the video.
“These police officers face this kind of thing every single day,” Superintendent Eddie Johnson told reporters at the police headquarters Wednesday. The suspect in the case is “the perfect example of what we’ve been saying. The same guys committing the same crimes over and over again,” Johnson said.”This guy doesn’t believe we’re serious. Law enforcement is being scrutinized all over the country for everything they do but they didn’t run away from this, they ran to it.”
The suspect, identified as Charles Lawson, 24, was out on parole after serving a sentence for a 2011 armed robbery, the police said. Lawson was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years, but was granted parole in April 2015, DNA Info reported, citing the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Chicago PD has reworked its policy on releasing police videos in the wake of months-long protests over the death of Laquan McDonald, an African-American teenager shot by a white police officer in October 2014. The video of McDonald’s death was released more than a year later, in November 2015, leading to murder charges for the officer involved, and the resignation of the police commissioner and the review authority chief.
The police handling of the car chase on Tuesday was also very different from the July 28 incident that ended in the death of Paul O’Neal. The 18-year-old African-American was shot and killed after crashing a stolen Jaguar into a police cruiser during a pursuit, and attempting to flee the scene.
Police video shows Lawson throwing the gun out the window before slowly exiting the car with his hands clearly visible. Half a dozen officers converge on the suspect and take him away in handcuffs.
Lawson was charged with four counts of attempted murder, possession of a stolen vehicle, hijacking, fleeing and eluding, and battery – all aggravated by use of a firearm, according to the Chicago PD.

9-11-01 – 9-11-16 What Do We Do Now?
9/11/01 changed so many lives. Like many who grew up in NY, I lost people I knew that day. I was blessed enough that the people in my closest circles were not on site at the time of the attack. My story is nothing special but as a writer, I am putting it out there in an effort to share some of who I am and help me process some of what I am feeling today.
Watching the towers fall that morning via Good Day NY will stick with me the rest of my life. Heading to the point by American Yacht Club and seeing the smoke where the easiest to spot skyline landmarks once stood was awe-inspiring and terrifying.
In the following weeks, my company folded due to a complete upheaval in the local economy and a melancholy that developed inside me that affected every aspect of my life including my performance. My anger was palpable and for the first time in my life, I considered joining the armed services. To this day I regret not following in the steps of my good friends James Waldvogel and Anthony Vinci doing right by my country.
I quickly changed from a Democrat to a Republican, changing my ideology as a self-identified Deadhead to a person who was angry that war had been brought to his home. I went from fearing the police to respecting them. I went from being a self-centered prick focused on money and self-gratification to realizing that I must give back to the people around me.
That one day lead to the largest transformations in my life. It was the catalyst for my move to Michigan, change in career, eventually my divorce and subsequent remarriage to the love of my life, a focus on self-reliance and self-defense instead of trusting the gov’t to care for me. All things that I am grateful for. For every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.
Seldom does one event change almost every aspect of a person’s life. For me, 9/11/01 is a touchstone for everything that has happened since. I see those great individuals that I grew up with who became police like Anthony Manto and Nick Vinci making the world a better place, the firemen like Joe Sutton who give tirelessly to save others, the countless medics who risk their lives to save others and all the new individuals I have met since I began my training like Joe Weyer, Steve Fisher, Phil Cheney, Will Petty, JW Wineland, John Chapman and so many more I can’t even mention you all. You all are the Americans I am proud to surround myself with!
Every highway had flags across bridges. Americans who had drifted from any sense of national pride began saluting the flag and singing the national anthem. Sporting arenas will filled with people who cheered and cried as the national anthem changed from a song to an emotional moment shared by those in attendance.
Here we are 15 years later. The unity created that day has faded. People are protesting the national anthem and refusing to respect the flag. Veterans who signed up on 9/12/01 to protect us have come home after seeing and doing unimaginable things are being turned on by the VA and the people they supported. We are losing 22 veterans a day to suicide. Protesting of various causes has once again splintered us into groups instead of Americans.
My small blog is read by many who are like-minded with me. Most love and respect our country and while we may differ on how we get there I believe that most of us are only trying to do what is best for the country. As such I doubt this will change anyone’s opinion but I will ask something of each of you.
Today remember the innocent who died going to work that day. Honor those who ran into to danger and not away. Honor those who risked their lives to save fellow Americans they didn’t know, be it Police, Fire, EMS, National Guard, or volunteers who braved the toxic smoke of that disaster out of a sense of duty. Honor those who went to war and never came home. Honor those who went to war and came back but who were never the same.
Take pride in our flag and anthem for the sake of the many who have risked or lost everything they are, in defense and support of this country and their neighbors.
Remember that sense of community you felt that day and try to figure out why it has dissipated. Find it if you can. Live it if you dare. Most of all Never Forget.

The Crosman Pioneer Airbow Lays Claim to Hardcore Hybrid Shooting
In the words of expert guide and world renowned hunter Jim Shockey, “This changes everything.” Since eyeballing and test-firing Crosman’s Benjamin Pioneer Airbow at the 2016 Archery Trade Association show and spending quality range time with it at the 2016 SHOT Show, Shockey’s words have replayed too many times to count.
Say it to yourself then take a good, hard look at Crosman’s ultimate outdoor game-changer, the Airbow.
The Franken-Bow?
A bit Frankenstein-ish as product development goes, the Benjamin Pioneer Airbow delivers a solid mix of archery and airgun technology, but looks a heck of a lot cooler than Frankenstein ever did. While the hybrid design looks cool on the face of it, it’s important to note the history from which the Airbow derives.
While Merriam-Webster defines archery as “the sport or skill of shooting with a bow and arrow” and adds that a bow is simply “a weapon used for shooting arrows and usually made of a strip of wood bent by a cord connecting the two ends,” virtually everyone even remotely familiar with the subject would agree that there is more to both definitions than the iconic dictionary cares to convey.
From Stone Age to New Age
From Stone Age to New Age, humans have used archery for sustenance and warfare for as long as 50,000 years; the true date of its inception remains hotly debated, but nobody contests its abundant use by the close of the Upper Paleolithic Era some 10,000 years ago. Most experts agree that the crossbow, perhaps a better analogy to the Airbow, didn’t make an appearance until approximately 600 B.C. But by about 400 B.C., the crossbow had become a pretty a common weapon in China. Not long after, crossbows trickled across the rest of Asia and Europe and used in Medieval warfare before crossing over some 400 years ago into the New World.
Air rifles are not nearly as old; however, their history seems nearly as rich. According to airgun expert Richard Beeman, the Royal Danish Arsenal houses the oldest air rifle on record — a spring-loaded, propulsive blast rifle believed to have been built around 1590. In 1600, the earliest known pneumatic air rifle (the technology is still in use today) was built for France’s King Henry IV. To power this rifle, an air chamber in the buttstock was filled, as today’s rifles are. But while earlier rifles were filled to as much as 1,000 psi, today’s Crosman pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifles — and indeed the PCP-powered Airbow — take up 3,000 psi for repeat shots and increased energy.
So what happens when you marry these two technologies? It’s not a bow, or even a crossbow. It’s not a rifle or even an air rifle.
What’s the Buzz About?
Don’t let the name fool you. As Crosman’s Chip Hunnicutt was quick to point out, the Airbow is not an archery bow or even a crossbow. It was never intended to be or even necessarily replace today’s traditional archery-based equipment. Hunnicutt claims that the Airbow is in a class of its own and delivers more than enough power for big game hunting. But what makes this thing cool, different and fun?
First things first, the Benjamin Pioneer Airbow is lightweight. At just seven pounds, it’s actually lighter than many rifles or crossbows. Also, the bows are finished in black and come with Realtree camouflage adhesive decals for hunters.
The Benjamin Pioneer Airbow is a PCP-powered shooting system with an air reservoir housed within the chassis. The reservoir holds up to 3,000 psi and powers as many as 10 arrows at a blistering average speed of 450 fps.
While you could potentially charge the Airbow with something similar to a bicycle pump, most PCP air rifle shooters, and most likely future Airbow shooters will charge the reservoir with a relatively light 15-inch, 4,500psi Benjamin air tank, or even a full-fledged SCUBA tank. Either way, great care should be taken to fill the reservoir slowly when using air tanks of any kind. An air gauge sits at the tip of the forend, under the air tube for easy observation between shots or during air charges.
Although the short, “bullpup” style tactical chassis does not feature an adjustable stock it appears to hit that sweet spot, fitting shooters large or small exceptionally well. The chassis also features a surprisingly comfortable pistol grip, trigger guard and forend. Overall length of the Airbow is a short 33.5 inches — perfect for hunting and shooting in tight spots and even bloodtracking through the thick stuff without catching on brush and branches.
In Focus on Trigger Time
At SHOT’s Industry Day at the Range, I quietly waited my turn while watching shooter after shooter square up behind the Airbow and launch arrows, accurately, at an average velocity I had never seen before. When my turn came, like the others, I listened to Chip carefully as he laid out all of the Airbow’s features then slowly and clearly instructed me, step by step. I “nocked” an arrow by sliding it over the length of the air tube. To cock the Airbow, I pulled up on the ambidextrous cocking device built into the top of the stock; it was quite easy, perhaps no more than a two-finger pull.
Once the Airbow was cocked, I settled in, like the others before me, and set the MTAG crosshairs of the 6x40mm CenterPointe scope on one of the diamonds on the face of the BIGshot Extreme 500 target downrange. Once I was ready I pushed forward on the safety lever positioned directly in front of the Airbow’s trigger. After taking the Airbow off safe, I slowly squeezed the trigger. While it was a tad on the heavy side, it was crisp and with less travel than I expected.
The shot was much quieter than expected. While I did not measure how much noise a shot generates, I saw no need, myself, for hearing protection. The sound level seemed comparable to shooting a .22-cal. pellet rifle. While the air tube did shudder after shots, it did not appear to have an effect on arrow flight. It was smooth, without any evidence of tailing — in fact, every shot I took was also exceptionally accurate and I grouped extraordinarily well, of course, the integrated pressure regulator facilitates this level of accuracy by distributing airflow evenly through the recommended number of shots per charge.
Hardcore Hitter
As a hardcore bowhunter, former archery technician and rifle hunter, my concerns rest in accuracy and energy, precisely where the Benjamin Airbow shines. I shot repeatedly and watched as every 375gr arrow drove hard into the target face with devastating force with 160 ft.-lbs. of energy. That’s more than enough energy to put down any animal on any continent and keep it there. Shockey proved this claim when he took a hefty bull buffalo with the Pioneer Airbow during field testing in 2015.
To say this hybrid shooting system is deadly is an understatement. Crosman knows airgun technology as well as anybody but to add archery to the mix was not only bold, it was downright genius. I suspect most people will readily embrace the Airbow for what it is: a true hybrid. With the difficulty of pulling back a compound bow keeping many from the sport, and some even having issues cocking a crossbow, the Airbow fits right in that sweet spot for people who want to get into archery and bowhunting but might have problems with conventional equipment.
More Than an Airbow, It’s a Kit Ready to Kill
The Crosman Benjamin Pioneer Airbow includes (3) 375gr carbon arrows with nano ceramic Victory ICE coating, a quick-detach quiver, custom sling, CenterPointe 6x40mm scope with MTAG reticle featuring indexing points out to 75 yds. and a canted picatinny base with 20 MOA of adjustability. And, unlike most crossbows, the Airbow can be decocked as easily as it was cocked for ultra-safe handling, especially when hunting from a treestand.
So where might one chase deer, hogs or other critters with an Airbow? Visit Crosman’s website to learn about where you can use the Airbow to hunt predators, pigs and big game. As of today, Airbow hunting for coyotes and predators is legal in 28 states, while feral hog hunting with the Airbow is legal in at least 10 states.
All things considered, Crosman’s Benjamin Pioneer Airbow is right on target. Shooting was quiet, comfortable, accurate and repeatable. While many bows, rifles and crossbows come without accessories, this Airbow essentially comes ready for action. Does it change everything? For a lot of customers, it will. And if your customers enjoy shooting rifles, crossbows and bows — and are welcome to game-changing innovation — they’re going to love the Pioneer Airbow.

OTOA (Ohio Tactical Officers Association) Annual Meeting
There are many TOA type organizations around the country. Most states offer them, for example, the MTOA that we covered last year with SDI and the largest the NTOA, which represents officers across the country.
Most of these events are rather small offering a smattering of booths that highlight police specific products and some training courses. What many do not know is tucked in among the flat lands of rabid Buckeyes fans is the better-kept secret of the training industry.
The OTOA Conference hosted almost 1000 officers over a one week period at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky Ohio earlier this month. Having attended it, I see why this conference is grown year over year.
Any good conference is packed with workshops that attendees do their best to avoid. Hell, I have spoken at several conferences and still not seen the inside of the rooms that I didn’t make a speech in. Mostly because industry specific education is falling on ears of people who too often either know it all already or who think they do. This was not the case in Sandusky. The Monday conferences were packed full of people and rightfully so.
In-depth information was provided by multiple branches of laws enforcement ranging from Dallas PD, who shared information on the Dallas PD station attack, FBI agents discussing hostage rescue, Coverage of the Aurora Theatre shooting and more followed by a great meal and fellowship. That was only on the first day.
The real meat and potatoes started on day 2 with breakout sessions on specific topics from medical training that included a free tourniquet thanks to Nationwide Insurance, administrative, dispatch, CQB, legal action and even estate planning for those who put their lives on the line. In all, there were over 42 tracks of instruction available for attendees.
The vendor show on Tuesday showcased some of the best companies in the industry supporting local law enforcement. Over 200 vendors gathered to give one on one interaction with the guys who use their products. Unlike many industry events, the booths were not packed with sales reps and marketing people. Many on hand were product development people, engineers, trainers and CEO’s who worked with officers to discuss actual use, not fancy gimmicks.
Here is just a sample of the companies who supported the event.
5.11
Atei
AT Armor
Blue Force Gear
Alliance PD Range
Cleer Medical
Raven Concealment
MTOA
Vertex
Half Cocked Targets
Nationwide Insurance
Combat Swag (with CJ Jackson himself!!!!!)
Geiselle
B5 Systems
Velocity Systems
Mayflower
and so much more!
The following three days involved mainly off-site live fire and range based training with some of the best instructors in the country. Attendees could pick 1 class a day with their included registration fee. When looking at the typical cost of a John Chapman, Will Petty or other training from the likes of LMS, 88 Tactical, Cleer Medical and more the cost of admission was half the typical cost of admission.
To give you an idea of the knowledge available check out this incomplete list of classes.
88 Tactical was at the forefront of this event fielding instructors in just about every possible niche of the law enforcement tactics cadre. It was an honor and pleasure to spend one on one time with the likes of William Petty, Matt Jaques, Trevor Thrasher, Phil Chaney, Frank Sepulveda, Devin Crinklaw and Shea Degan not to mention the cast of less known names that will likely be some of the up and coming stars of the training community. The amount of knowledge consumed was only limited by one’s ability to absorb it. We will cover the grand opening of the 88 Tactical Facility on July 7th so stay tuned.
The OTOA was open to police officers even if not from Ohio, and it is the one event that I would say is a must do for those who run to gunfire instead of away from it. While the OTOA conference is not for civilians much of the training offered, can be found in courses taught by 88 Tactical, LMS, Sentinel Concepts and the Alliance PD Range, if you’re interested in learning from the best of the best.
A $250 fee gets you a very nice 5.11 sling pack, access to all that we discussed and more in the way of dinners, raffles and one on one talk with dudes who opinion actually matters. I don’t teach tactics on this blog because, frankly, I am not qualified to. Neither is 99% of Youtube and 80% of instructors. It’s nice when you’re talking in a group and see dudes who lived the life, walked the walked sharing their knowledge for the safety and protection of our police. Cause God knows not one of these instructors made enough on this event to be doing this for profit.
All photography was graciously provided by our Friend @iDaveMoore go follow him on IG.
