That satisfying "Ping!" of bullets on target is as regular as a metronome when former Green Beret sniper, Aaron Barruga, is running tactical marksmanship drills on his home turf in Santa Clarita, CA. With his company, Guerrilla Approach, Barruga trains civilians, military, and law enforcement in proper and effective tactical firearm deployment.

The man does not miss.


"Oscar Mike" host Ryan Curtis paid a visit to Barruga's training facility to bone up on his sharpshooting and found himself in good hands, drilling shoulder to shoulder with this veteran entrepreneurial success story. Barruga's advice?

"I would definitely say that, if they have the opportunity, use that G.I. Bill. Get that piece of paper that says, "I'm smart and employable." And just grind away, basically. You gotta hustle."

As the day progresses, the sweat beading on Ryan's brow is a testament to his hustle, if not his dead shot accuracy. And when he challenges Barruga to an Old West-style duel, our host quickly learns what high noon looks like at the Less-than-OK Corral.

Watch as Barruga makes plinking targets look easy, and Curtis proves his monkey is definitely the drunkest, in the video embedded at the top.
