Introducing The RifleMann
A new video section on the EmptyCases Substack
The RifleMann is a new section on the EmptyCases Substack. It will feature video content specifically focusing on tips, tricks, training drills and techniques to help you become a better rifleman. From time to time there will also be some content in this new section about handguns, because, well, real riflemen carry a handgun too.
The first few videos in this new section will be available to all subscribers, but ultimately the section will only be accessible by paid subscribers.

Like with all the sections on the EmptyCases Substack, if you’re already a subscriber you will automatically receive e-mail notifications for all the new content, and if you choose to, you can opt out of e-mail notifications for The RifleMann or any of the other EmptyCases Substack sections.
