I was turned off at second 22, but I trust others that went further and am glad I didn't waste time.

I am not sorry I pointed out his error, and asked him to delete it and try again.

However, the fact that he would delete a post by someone on here that would call him on the safety issues speaks volumes!

Try again. Safety issues. He put a locked and cocked weapon to the side of his head to adjust his hearing protection.  :o

I meant to delete the current video, and produce one where he doesn't put a loaded gun in his ear.

Good thing Donald Trump isn't posting. The OP would be FIRED at 22sec. mark.

Seriously, vsorrentino, I'm sure you mean well, and practice is truly something we as gun owners, can always use more of.

Realize that many here at DRTV, are NRA Certified Instructors, Range Officers, competition shooters, and other folks in LE, and the SD biz. It's an honest mistake, but one that CANNOT be allowed to happen on any range.
 The consequences are just too great.

Hope you learn from it, and like you posted:

Practice, practice, practice.

I had to watch the first few seconds twice to see the "oopsie" because: A: the loud bad music was distracting and B: the "thought" bubble covered it up unless you looked closely. Note: The thought bubble was blank. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe it was a " caption this photo" deal. As in : "My God! What did I just do?"!
Yikes indeed.
I do not, however think this shooting program is worthless. Caption it in Pashtu. I think the Pakistani market could use it. ;D

I don't think that "thought bubble" was there when I watched the video for the first time.

Looks like trying to hide the error is quicker than getting a new video posted.

To the Op:
If I sounded too snarky in my post, I apologize. i didn't mean to pile on. Its just that a lot of new shooters watch this stuff. Lesson the first: Learn what NOT to point your gun at at before you worry about where to point it.
I'd rather go into a gunfight with someone who understood safe practices and couldn't hit a barn from the inside, versus someone who can hit the x ring at 50 yards and would sweep me with the muzzle.
Bullets come "addressed to occupant'. That's lesson one. The rest is just technique. Something we ALL need to be reminded of from time to time. So I guess this instructional video really was. Just not in the way the maker intended.
