Good morning, Good Evening and Good Night, wherever you are when you’ve clicked on this blog. LISTTTEENN!!! 2021 was an amazing year! Before I say goodbye to it, I’d love to walk back over the year and just share some highlights and standout moments that existed for me. In June, I put together the “IG Range Day”. This day consisted of about 30 plus ladies and gents from around the state of Florida, as well as, Georgia and Alabama. This event was brought on by seeing a group of guys out of North Texas do the same thing. So I decided, “Why. not start a IG Group Chat with a few people that you chat with often?” Well, I did and the IG Content Extravaganza (what a corny name lol) was birthed. It went over without a glitch. Many of those guys established friendships for the first time that leading up and then on the event and have maintained those friendships since then! <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/24e2b9a617b7292ea75c1c54b4f6d7e4/3a558827e453de8e-0b/s540x810/48dadfe867a6e57ee554714d9fdb35a944b28280.jpg"/> Three of the guys, Triggered\_Dad (Dalton), Darius (DeeezGains) and Josh (JayWeth) have remained super close FRIENDS and our relationships have flourished. We formed a group since then called #SquadDrills. Our goal is to bring ladies and gentlemen together to train and enjoy the growing pains of firearms safety and proficiency. Our motto is “Progress Not Perfection”. We believe that learning, growing and getting better at our love for firearms shouldn’t have to be done through yelling, screaming and profanity! Getting better should be met with smiles, laughing and correction through love; that’s how we build bonds and grow our community. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4cb8b0c4cf0b3adeecb5bc6395fdd293/3a558827e453de8e-5e/s540x810/076f957f81aa42f43ff80d45de0f65933f5aa3e5.jpg"/> Meeting JJ Racaza, International Super Star, Grand Master and all around Amazing Guy, was another treat for 2021. I’ve not only gotten to shoot with some great people but I’ve also grown in representing the brand of Brownells. We’ve been able to do so much through the affiliate brandchamp side of Brownells. 2021 was largely made possible due to the generosity of Brownells. Not only being able to offer such affordable prices for everyday use items in our field, but their extremely quick shipping adds to how special they are. I’ve been approached by a few other companies to represent them via social media and I’ve denied it. I’ve turned it down 1) because I’m not one to just mention your name for name sake. 2) I’m just a country boy from Avon Park, FL. I’m no paid solicitor nor do I desire to be a spokesman for a company that I don’t even know. I’m thankful for Darius getting me connect with such a company as this. I believe in everything they believe and have connected with many other Field Agents that absolutely rock! It’s safe to say that I see myself being a Field Agent for Life and I love it! <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/9bf005640ee096b179e7f84b4d69eaa5/3a558827e453de8e-09/s540x810/177bbc20727f438788f2910c81b3e190ddf163af.jpg"/> Hello, 2022! This year I welcome you but I don’t welcome you alone! This time I’m coming with a SQAUD! We’ve met and began to carve out a path for ourselves and The Four Hoursemen, along with the rest of the squad, will most definitely be causing waves in the Gun Community this year. If you’re in the Tampa Bay area and are looking for others to connect with and grow with, then look no further. No only do we gather frequently to train and have fun, we also communicate off the range to keep each other accountable. We believe in Husbands being faithful to their Wife and vice versa. We believe in Fathers being active in their children(s) lives. We honor Family being first before a range day or event. We prize ourselves on promoting a healthy balance to life and firearms and not just following the recent and latest trends. If that’s you and you want to shoot with some others guys and ladies, you should comment and let me know. We’d love to have you out to shoot with with us. Bring your good drills with you and let’s have a go at them all. We’ll see you at the range in 2022!
Viva Las Vegas!!

What’s up, Guys! So happy you came back to check out another throw-up moment for me! My wife and I recently celebrated our 12 years wedding anniversary and we did it in high fashion! We checked off a trip we both had been desiring to do since before we got married; travel and experience Las Vegas! Today I’ll share a few pictures of our trip but I if I may, I’d like to also share why such a milestone of marriage is important to me. The Gammage’s met in Tampa, Florida at Revealing Truth Ministries in 2003, dated for 4 years and have been married for 12 years. I attended Avon Park High School, in Avon Park, FL. and continued my studies at the University of South Florida where I obtained an Associates in Early Childhood Education and a Bachelors in Special Education. I’m also an NRA Certified Firearm Instructor, Proud Bureau of Propaganda Field Agent and owner of Gammunition Arms Training, LLC. My wife attended Tampa Bay Technical High School and is a certified Organizational Specialist and owner of SoVari Tidy Organizing and Purging. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/d494476510fdf88045baab9f24ee1e6a/db3e2760fbce8f7a-bf/s540x810/cb269712d5ffd332d6dfc94534ada7fbce7f3206.jpg"/> Avari and I are true leaders in the Christian community who share our gifts through teaching and song. We have written and produced Christian music and performed nationwide. We’ve have been intentional in merging our respective talents in the music industry. With my skills in teaching and rapping and Avari’s illustrious voice and developmental skills, we have achieved many milestones. One was when we were both signed to Sound Right Music/DMG of Universal with five recorded and released albums between the two of us. We’ve traveled around the world preaching the gospel through Teaching, Hip Hop and R&B, branched out and produced three solo albums, Love Destroys the Pain (2007), Breeding Grounds (2010) and Mahogany Doors (2017), wrote and sang the jingle for It Works! company, co-wrote 2 albums for Revealing Truth Ministries, co-wrote and recorded the Validated Men's Group Anthem called “Validated” and also wrote and sang the theme song for Outreach and Global Missions called Beautiful Tapestry. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/2bd5348e67d4ad23a36d27752021d3d2/db3e2760fbce8f7a-df/s540x810/80a022464e532881b9424175d67dc46a6535c12f.jpg"/> Faith is the center of the our family as well as an emphasis on the family. We are dedicated members of Revealing Truth Ministries, and hold several roles and positions of leadership amongst us. I’m a Pastor of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, a Youth Pastor of U.R. Student Ministries at Revealing Truth Ministries, and a Spiritual Marriage/Pre-Marital Counselor. I’m also a founding member of Psi Mu Epsilon Fraternity, Inc., a faith based greek organization focused on God, Servanthood, Trust, Boldness, Peace, Discipline, and Spiritual-Growth. My lovely wife is also an ordained Pastor and mentors young ladies with a mission of helping them to see beyond their reality and find hope. Avari also oversees the Creative Arts Ministry at Revealing Truth Ministries and has been leading Worship at our local church for over 12 years and is honored to usher in the spirit of Christ and lead people to worship. We hold dear to Servant Leadership and value greatly serving the community and the Body of Christ through Revealing Truth Ministries and honoring our Pastors, Bryan and Rashida Powe, and the Legacy of our Founding Pastors, Greg & Deborah Powe. Despite all of our achievements, we believe our most honorable gift in our union are our two kids, Londyn (9) and Ryley (7). Although we have very busy schedules, we continue to keep the stewardship of our kids the center of our focus and are always willing to make time for their favorite musical or animated movie. Our Family mantra is centered around being mindful that today we are building on the foundation. For us, it's always building season. You never arrive. This way of life has been the strength and key to keeping a cohesive family unit. We move as one, laying brick by brick with caution and care. With my background as a certified SYMBIS Marriage Counselor, we have been afforded the ability to have tools to be happily married. Our commitment to one another has been tried, tested and is proven to be true. Whenever I’m asked about the keys to a successful marriage, I reply, "A successful marriage yields their desires and motives to the Holy Spirit. The number two secret to having a successful marriage is to never compare, never complain and to never compete. You two will make history together; for the positive or the negative." <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/9e3568a30b00d754ab37e4d1ec6f243e/db3e2760fbce8f7a-08/s540x810/5b3b80c634f10899d5564d5dfcb1d41ca3f46650.jpg"/> Happy Anniversary, My Love!

Intro To Field Agent Status
Terrance Gammage
What’s up, Gang Gang! It’s been a minute since the last time I’ve come baring gifts of the pen...BUT I”M BAAACKKKKKKK!!
What’s up, Gang Gang! It’s been a minute since the last time I’ve come baring gifts of the pen...BUT I”M BAAACKKKKKKK!! From the title you can possibly gather where we’re going with this one. Today I want to bring you guys up to speed on a new amazing opportunity I’ve been given. The title of Field Agent is usually reserve for one who works for an organization outside of the 4 cornered office. A Field Agent’s office of choice is usually that of the open road, shaking and baking, the highways and the hedges...You get where I’m coming from. A Field Agent is one who represents their organization wherever you see them at. Have you heard of the company Brownells, Inc.? If you’re connected in anyway to the 2A Community, you’ve heard about, ordered from or liked something they’ve produced within the last week and possibly didn’t even know it. We’ll, I’ve been rewarded with one of the greatest honored I’d say I’ve received since starting my 2A Journey; I’ve been selected to be a Brownells, Inc. Bureau of Propaganda Field Agent and I couldn’t be more happier. In addition to receiving amazing discounts on amazing products and specific items needed to work, I get the amazing honor of representing this company and the high quality products. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/7b18cffdee473fa27e8f2e17b5a5f893/c9b18b99e665fa90-ab/s540x810/4a4d3f7fd5d93bfb7b09308aa6f500b685678eee.jpg"/> Something I’ve love to highlight from Brownells are the amazing Premium Branded Earmuffs. Not to many, electronic ear pro isn’t something new; and I agree. I’ve owned several different types of ears in the past and many are great at parts of what they claim to be able to do. I’ll be honest and say Brownells has claimed to do a lot and they’ve actually succeeded! Immediately after unboxing them, you feel the the quality in the padding. Again, other headphones leave you wanting more in the padding department. No one wants sounds seeping in but we also don’t want to sacrifice hearing for comfort. These head phones have sound activated compression technology as well as fully dynamic range HD Speakers. If you tend to run extra equipment that requires an input jack...then you’re in luck! One of the highlights of these particular ears are that they are tuned to increase natural sounds around the range bay and immediately dampens guns shots that are around you. I absolutely love these things. I mentioned it earlier but the padding surrounding these ears are spectacular! The rating of 23db is another plus. These ears are the pair you want in your Range Bag. <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/706dbbe52e7fb2fff8a82d3fa0567869/c9b18b99e665fa90-98/s540x810/19df606d2f1a59a3fe9a17ec3ba8177f42f53c8d.jpg"/> In closing, I plan to bring to the table and highlight a lot more products and equipment from Brownells. Not only am I raving about their products but the customer service is second to only my mother; because even my wife gets fussy every now and then. If you’re planning to purchase anything 2A related in the near future, please do yourself a favor and visit www.brownells.com. Listen, they’re so amazing that they’ll give you $10 off your purchase just by signing up for their email. What else can I say about this new Field Agent position other than be prepared to hear me blabbering about this company a lot in the near future! Until that read...Yawl Be Blessed!
Daddy Daughter Range Day

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen! Good Morning, Good Evening and Good Night to you wherever you are in the ...
Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen! Good Morning, Good Evening and Good Night to you wherever you are in the world! Today I am sooooo excited to tell you guys about such an amazing day I recently had with my oldest child. The day was long anticipated and yet it felt like it was over so quickly. My daughter’s name is Londyn. She is such a vibrant, witty and compassionate young lady. At only 9 years of age, she’s gifted and has the mental wherewithal of a 14 or 15 year old. So bright! Being that I’m a NRA Firearms Instructor, my children have been exposed to being around firearms safely since each of them were born. Londyn often would come into Daddy's Man Cave and do minimal tasks; refill ammo boxes, organize cleaning rods or even empty rounds from standing magazines. She’s been “working” with daddy since she was about 4 or 5 years old. I could have taken her to the gun range sooner, but I told her years ago that she couldn’t go until she was 9 years old and committed that age to memory! Year after year, she grew more and more comfortable and I began to allow her to dry fire empty firearms with me. During this time, her love for firearms and the safety of them continue to flourish! We would dry fire together at least once a week. Her skillset grew and the 6, 7 and then 8 year old, finally turned 9 and it was go time! <img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/128148dccd814799e9e547cda66e501b/e0eb2cce31dd9fed-ce/s540x810/7431388b699d78fea7ba0c9ea8aacfdaf7d15026.jpg"/> One night in late November, the night before our range trip, Londyn asked me about the Brownells Premium Electronic Ear Muffs (she just called them Electronic Headphones). I told her, “Daddy doesn’t allow people to use these. These are special and they’re meant for only the Instructor or someone who desires to be an Instructor.” Londyn looked up and me with one hand still in my range bag and the other on the headphones and said, “But if you’re an Instructor and I know what you know... doesn’t that make me at least an Instructor in that’s just isn’t teaching people?” I had not quick comeback. I simply stated, “Londyn, put my headphones down and those over there are yours.” lol. Needless to say she wore my Brownells Premium Electronic Ear Muffs and she absolutely loved them. I’ve since put together a Youtube video documenting our time. She even made fun of me throughout the making note of how many times I would keep mentioning the name “Brownells”. It was as if she worked for someone and was hired to keep track of my “Brownells'' comments. It’s not my fault that “Brownells” has everyone one could ask for on their well laid out Brownells.com website. Visit “Brownells'' at www.Brownells.com and browse through the more than robust selections. Also, if you would like to see the full video of Daddy and Daughter Range Day, follow this link: https://youtu.be/QP3RXtB60rg Until next time, thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me. I hope you’ve heard my heart on how proud I am of my baby girl and I’m most excited about the possibility of you stopping and watching the video as well.
