Our vision for The Weaponcraft Journal is to create a reference where topics related to the relevant use of firearms as weapons are explored without considerations for competition or other sporting uses. We have no criticism of these activities but rather choose to focus on the serious use of weapons. We cover all varieties of weapons both present and historic, firearms, edged and improvised as well as unarmed combat. This issue’s guest authors include Tom Givens of Rangemaster, Steve Cooper of Paladin Training, Dr. Tom Griswold of Griswold Self Defense and Dalton Jantzen of Elizabethtown Community & Technical College. In addition you will find articles from AIM’s leadership and cadre including Jim Higginbotham, Eric Dean and Kip Brandel sharing his knowledge of all things reloading.
