Greenside Training’s decision to bring Gerald Hooee aboard after fifteen years of founder-only instruction signals more than a staffing change—it marks a deliberate expansion of the CamoStalk360 curriculum at a moment when the 2A community is hungry for advanced, field-tested methods of concealment and movement. Hooee’s Marine Corps Scout background injects institutional reconnaissance doctrine into a program already known for blending Native American tracking heritage with modern small-unit tactics, giving civilian shooters a rare fusion of ancestral woodcraft and contemporary battlefield lessons. That combination matters because today’s self-reliant citizen cannot rely solely on static range skills; the ability to slip unseen, read sign, and dominate terrain is becoming the new baseline for responsible armed preparedness.

By handing Hooee both teaching duties and curriculum design, Greenside is effectively crowdsourcing the next evolution of its system rather than bottling institutional knowledge inside a single instructor. For the broader firearms culture, this move underscores a growing recognition that marksmanship alone is incomplete without mastery of the “before the shot” disciplines—camouflage, stalking, and environmental immersion. As statehouses continue to expand constitutional carry while urban politicians push permitting schemes and magazine bans, shooters who can train realistically in natural settings gain a tangible edge in both skill and legal positioning: they demonstrate the “well-regulated” discipline the Second Amendment presupposes. In short, Greenside’s roster expansion isn’t just good business; it’s an investment in preserving the practical competencies that keep the right to keep and bear arms credible in the field and defensible in the courts.
