The Battle Every
Man Faces.

The world demands everything from you and offers nothing back.

Pressure to provide. Pressure to lead. Pressure to hold it all together. And most men carry it alone.

The Enemy IsolationPassivityComparisonDrift

You were built for more. Not to drift. Not to hide. To stand in strength, in faith, with brothers beside you.

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

Ephesians 6:10-11

Men. Transformed.

The Standard We Live By.

Six lines. One standard. The words a man of Fireside holds himself to on the range, at the fire, and at home.

Two Fireside brothers side by side at the range
Stand for Your Brothers
  • I "I am a man of Fireside."
  • II "I can admit my mistakes and will learn from them, so that I can lift others up and be lifted up."
  • III "I will stand for the Lord, to do good works every day, in every area of my life."
  • IV "I will stand up and lead myself, my family, and my brothers in honor, respect, and righteousness."
  • V "I will encourage other men to take action for God, to do the next loving thing, and leave this world a better place."
  • VI "I will stand for the Lord and stand for my brothers."
In Memoriam

The Legacy of
Keith Gibbs.

A forged warrior whose life was a living testament to brotherhood, faith, and standing for what is righteous and true.

Red toolbox with Fireside 610 logo sticker

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."

Ephesians 6:10-11

Keith Gibbs was not a man who stood still. He faced his own battles but chose to Stand for the Lord and Stand for his brothers. His life was a living testament to Ephesians 6:10, inspiring men to put on the full armor of God and fight for what is righteous and true.

Keith saw the battle in every man's heart. A longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. He was a sentinel for the Fireside vision, and his teachings inspired hundreds of men to build their own ministries and bands of brothers.

The week before his passing, a group of brothers had the opportunity to pray with Keith. He texted back: "I was moved with emotion, overwhelmed by the prayers of faith from the men of God I call my brothers. I receive healing in Jesus' name and I will believe and not doubt."

In that short message, Keith summed up his legacy. Every word from Keith was one of encouragement, strength, endearment, and God's love. He affirmed men, challenged them, and helped them open their eyes to God's truth.

His legacy is not in the words he spoke, but in the men he called to action. It lives on in every man who chooses to STAND, lead with honor, and stand for his brothers.

Love in Brotherhood,
Your Fireside Brothers

Common
Questions.

Everything you need to know before your first event.

Fall is complete. Registration is open now for Winter, the Hog Hunt, Spring, and the Season Finale, right here in the Events section. The Hog Hunt is Saturday, February 20, 2027, check-in 1 PM, and every man on it qualifies with a Fireside captain first. Spots are limited.
Fireside events are for men 18 and older. Attendees under 21 must be accompanied by their legal guardian. The Hog Hunt is 18 and older with no exceptions. No experience required. Pick the class that matches your training, not how many times you have been to Fireside. New shooters start as a Recruit.
To attend and take part in the Hog Hunt, every man qualifies with a Fireside captain before the hunt. The standard is four shots at 100 yards on a 6-inch target, three hits. Qualify on the December qualifier day at Okeechobee Shooting Sports (date to be announced), at Winter Fireside on Friday, January 22, 2027, or at a possible early-February session. Closer to home, Brandon Poe or Guy Blocker can qualify you any day at Palm Beach Shooting Sports: text or call Brandon at (561) 905-0546. Qualification happens before February 20, not on the day. Zero your rifle before you qualify, at Okeechobee Shooting Sports or Palm Beach Shooting Sports, and qualify with the rifle you will hunt with. Ask your captain about covered range time at Palm Beach Shooting Sports. The hunt is capped at 30 men, so register now to lock your spot.
Private Ranch Off Hwy 70, St. Lucie and Okeechobee County Line. Check-in 1 PM. Arrive between noon and 1 PM. Lunch and a word at the barn, then captains run the men out to the stands at 3 PM. Shooting stops 30 minutes after sundown when the horn sounds, the buggies bring the men in, and the day closes with parting words back at the barn. Exact directions go to registered men by email.
Every man on the hunt holds a valid Florida hunting license and carries it on the day. This is Fireside's rule, not the state's: Florida does not require a license to take wild hogs on private land with the landowner's permission. We require it for safety and accountability, and it unlocks public land and other states for you. Buy the Resident Annual Hunting License ($17 as of November 2026) at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com, in the Fish|Hunt FL app, or at any county tax collector or license agent. Born on or after June 1, 1975? Florida requires a hunter safety certification before you can buy the license. Born before June 1, 1975? No course, just buy the license. Hunter safety cards from other states count. Hunter safety is an online or classroom portion plus a hands-on skills day. FWC's classroom courses are free; online options run through FWC's approved providers. Fireside captains can help you book the skills day at Palm Beach Shooting Sports: text Brandon Poe at (561) 905-0546. Send Fireside your license number by Saturday, February 13, 2027, one week before the hunt: add it when you register, reply to any Fireside text with it, or email fireside610@gmail.com. No license on the day means no stand and no refund. Florida also sells a license under a hunter safety mentoring exemption (hunt under a licensed adult's supervision without the course). Fireside leadership decides whether that license qualifies for the hunt. If that is your plan, talk to your captain before you register. Everything about the license is at fireside610.com/hog-hunt.
Men 18 and older only. The first Hog Hunt has no minors (board decision, November 5, 2026). A father and son hunt is planned as its own event. Bring the rifle you qualified with. .223 Remington or .308 Winchester recommended. Shot placement matters more than caliber. Other calibers: ask your captain first. No thermal optics. Daylight and low light glass only. Guns down 30 minutes after sundown. The horn sounds, every rifle is unloaded with the action open, and the buggies bring the men in. Nobody shoots after the horn and nobody walks out alone. Ten double stands and ten single stands. Your captain assigns your stand and your lane. You shoot only from your stand, only into your lane, only at a hog you have identified, only with a backstop you can see. The full safety rules are at fireside610.com/hog-hunt and in the waiver every man signs.
Yes, every time you register. The man paying signs the Participant Agreement inside checkout before he pays. Every other man on the registration signs his own at fireside610.com/waiver from the link in his confirmation text and email. One signature covers Fireside 610 and Okeechobee Shooting Sports, so you sign once for both, and it covers the whole season. No signed waiver means no range and no stand.
Not at all. Many of our attendees are first-time shooters. Fireside works with top-level firearms trainers to ensure the highest level of safety is observed and enforced at all times.
No. Firearms can be rented from our host venue, or you can share with a friend. We recommend a 9mm pistol for best results at your first event.
Hat, long pants, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, eye and ear protection, firearm (9mm preferred), ammunition (200-400 rounds depending on level), gun belt, holster, magazine holders, and a beach chair for the bonfire. We provide water, lunch, dinner, an event T-shirt, targets, and safety supervision.
Yes. Select the number of attendees, choose each man's class, enter his name and shirt size, and pay once for everyone. You sign your own waiver inside checkout. All attendees land on the roster instantly and each one gets his own confirmation and waiver link.
