This week, American Rifleman’s Joe Kurtenbach discusses some of the little things you can do to improve the functionality of your gear. “Always Improve Your Position” is a mantra Kurtenbach picked up during his time as a U.S. Army Cavalry Scout, and while he’s no longer establishing observation posts or building up defensive positions, the philosophy still holds true. Don’t get complacent, don’t be satisfied with good enough. There are always little things you can do to ensure you and your gear perform when needed.
