Today I’ve brought back a good friend and a friendly rival at many competitions I’ve been to, Mr. Les Winner, owner of Polaris Logistics. He and his company are both key players in firearms shipping and helping competitive shooters legally transport guns internationally for matches. Today, Les and I recount some of his performance, frustrations, and struggles at the Moons Out 2026 Night Vision carbine match put on annually by Forgotten Weapons and Nocturn Industries. Les also takes some time to share his experiences as Range Master and Match Director, explains how he refines the match yearly with his team of dedicated range officers, and explains some of the theory and reasoning behind some of the features of each stage.
