With so much freedom waiting at our digital fingertips, we couldn’t help but wonder how we would fare with some of Far Cry 5‘s challenges in real life. Before we plunge headlong into the open-world awesomeness of the game, we decided to put our skills to the test in the real world. Nerdist partnered with Ubisoft and 511 Tactical to send Kyle Hill, Erika Ishii, and me to train under the guidance of Army veteran Rick Hogg (War HOGG Tactical) and take our skills to the next level. During our time under Rick’s tutelage, we learned how to improve our marskmanship, how to drive like Hollywood stunt performers, how to train a dog for use in high pressure situations, and much more. Just how did we do? Watch the video above and see our explosive results for yourself.

THE FIREARMS TRAINING NOTEBOOK
Track, Improve, and Master Your Shooting Skills
The Firearms Training Notebook was developed by Rick Hogg, owner of War HOGG Tactical, and Mark Kelley, owner of Kelley Defense, after recognizing a clear gap in the firearms industry: there was no purpose-built training notebook. Drawing on a combined 60 years of military and law-enforcement experience, we formalized the personal notebooks we relied on throughout our careers and created a practical, structured tool to guide both dry-fire and live-fire practice.
This revolutionary notebook helps shooters build a deliberate training plan, capture meaningful data, and track progress session to session. Effective training requires a plan—and consistent measurement. The Firearms Training Notebook makes it quick and easy to record drills, times, round counts, accuracy metrics, and observations so you can steadily improve marksmanship and gun-handling performance.
Every War HOGG Tactical student receives a copy during our courses to document performance in real time. Students leave with a clear record of strengths, areas for improvement, and a proven framework to keep getting 1% better every day long after class ends.
On The Range Podcast with War HOGG Tactical and Kelley Defense brings to you over 60 years of military and law enforcement experience. On The Range Podcast is an American podcast that wants to help you Be 1% Better Everyday and is geared for the civilian, law enforcement and military listener.
