What do you do with a firearm when you’re not actively shooting? The answer seems simple, but the reality is far more nuanced. In this month’s Virtual Girls Night Out, Director of Training Tatiana Whitlock explores the often-overlooked topic of ready positions and explains why there is no single “right” answer for every situation. From compressed ready and low ready to high ready and Position Sul, Tatiana breaks down the purpose, advantages, limitations, and real-world applications of each technique. More importantly, she challenges common misconceptions and demonstrates how environment, range rules, physical ability, and safety considerations should drive your decisions. Whether you’re looking to build solid fundamentals or seeking a deeper understanding of firearm handling, this GNO offers valuable insights that will help you become safer, more adaptable, and more confident every time you handle a firearm.

In this Virtual Girls Night Out, Tatiana Whitlock reviews common “ready positions” — what they are, why you need to know them, and how to perform them properly and safely.
