What’s at Your Core?

Q: What's at your core?

It’s what defines you. Why you get up in the morning. How you live your life. Your purpose. Your reason for being.

It’s what defines you. Why you get up in the morning. How you live your life. Your purpose. Your reason for being. YOUR CORE.

At Propper, we support you. From active duty to reserves to patrol to off duty to a weekend at the range, we’re with you all the way. We’ve been doing this for over half a century. We get it. It’s at our core, too.

We asked our Brand Ambassadors, “What’s at Your Core?”

Here’s what they said.

MANDY BACHMAN – Competitive Shooter & Brand Ambassador

AT MY CORE: I love having the opportunity to share my love and knowledge of the shooting sports to others.

TIP: Always keep learning and trying new things. Don't let yourself get comfortable.

FAVORITE PROPPER PRODUCT: One of my favorite items from Propper is the Tactical Vest. I use this vest almost daily as I train and compete in IDPA. The large pockets on the vest make stowing mags on the move easy. The fabric breaths well on hot days and the fit is great. My second favorite item from Propper is the Kinetic pants. The fit lets me feel feminine while still allowing the pants to be functional on the range. Kinetics have the right amount of stretch to let me move easily through a course of fire, whether I am standing, squatting, or running. My third favorite item from Propper is the Range Bag. The Range Bag has plenty of storage to let me pack all my range day essentials and more. It has the right amount of pockets to allow me to stay organized. The shoulder strap is padded so even when the bag is weighed down with gear I am able to carry it comfortably.

JERRY MICULEK – Pro Shooter & Brand Ambassador

AT MY CORE: Competition inspires me to always look for ways to improve. Keeping up with the younger generation of shooters is a constant battle that I will someday lose, but the effort keeps my mind sharp and my body active, and is the reason I get out of bed every morning.

TIP: Never fall in love with your own inventions. No matter how successful you are today, there is always something new on the horizon, always a better way.

FAVORITE PROPPER PRODUCT: Kinetic Pants are one of my favorites. The fit allows me to move freely and material is comfortable and durable. Also, the Summerweight pants are a blessing in the Louisiana summers.

JARED OGDEN – Former Navy SEAL & Brand Ambassador

AT MY CORE: In life, I've learned that balance is paramount to maintaining focus; therefore, I strive to take care of the things at home first because those things are my anchors.

TIP: Repetition is critical because it leads to muscle memory, muscle memory to instinct, and instinct is the ability to make the right decision without thinking about it.

FAVORITE PROPPER PRODUCT: 4PV Concealable Armor. The added protection of four ballistic panels plus the comfort of independent movement that won't ride up under your chin when you sit make the 4PV the ideal soft armor either under or over a uniform.
