Is this the Worst (and most dangerous) Training video ever?

[JC5123]

FTA

 There are a lot of great training instructors and schools out there that we've all heard or read about: Gunsite, Thunder Ranch, Massad Ayoob, Tom Givens, Clint Smith, Tiger McKee, Dave Spaulding and the list goes on.

With the exception of Gunsite, all of these names are known in the industry by REPUTATION. Firearms training is DEADLY serious business, and should be advertised as such. Not with showy ads featuring loud music and choreographed moves that belong in Hollywood, not on the range.

I should clarify, Gunsite is known for its reputation also. However they are the only ones on the list that I have seen heavy advertising for. Also, their reputation isn't what I would call stellar....

I too find the eye sweeps I see in most video's laughable.    While it is a good practice to be aware of things you may have missed, I'm  going to go a little faster than what they're doing.   I don't want to take my eyes of the bad guys I just shot for very long, because they might not really be "down" for the count.

Ditto. If your eyes are moving slower than someone else can shoot, you have an issue. PS Why are you standing still? If its still a hot scene a couple of steps back or sideways while looking (and yes you can do both) seems like a good idea. This reminds me of that Tex Grebner yahoo who shot himself. After an 8 second reload, he gave a deep and penetrating stare in all directions. Very impressive, as with baboons the lesser mall ninjas were cowed.

When one shooter fell to the ground and another shooter behind firing live I thought it was impressive. Nice execution but I would not try that outside of military or law enforcement.

Another that had me almost biting my nails was when you had the girl running the course, a rifleman to the left firing and another male firing a handgun behind her. Again, no application outside military/law enforcement.

Not sure what the black uniforms were for? Maybe these are the folks training to come and take the guns away from the paranoid??? Just kidding.
