Training Videos

Another great DVD set is Ron Avery: Secrets of a Professional Shooter. A few dull moments in the combined Parts 1, 2-3 but he covers well how to accurately deliver hits with speed and especially good cadence. The production value of the DVD is not the greatest but the contents are even though some of it is dated.

It came to mind when I got this great article of his today: 8 tips for bringing the gunfight to the range

Excellent job Ram and Super on outing some of the other great resources for training info. It is good to see some of the less common DVDs brought up and offered as a resource.
I will echo Ram on Kyles second book on handgun. As well written for the handgun as the rifle. Those two books are a must for those who consider themselves a student.

From the Bay Area, I've taken courses from both LMS Defense and Stone Cobra Tactical. Both offered good, solid training. However, I think LMS Defense moved to Idaho and Stone Cobra doesn't exist anymore. Sorry, I can't be of anymore help here so some of the Bay Area folks will have to jump in here.

Some of the LMS instructors have formed a new training company called Paladin Training and Spartan Concepts and Consulting. I will be taking a low light home CQB course in 2 weeks.

Anyone can comment on Magpul's (Travis Haley and Chris Costa) "Art of Tactical Carbine Vol 1" and Travis Haley's "Make Ready - Adaptive Carbine".
...

One of the things I find fascinating are the subtle differences between "MagPul Doctrine" and "Haley Doctrine".

It's also one of the things I find useful about having trained at so many places and having a pretty big video & book collection. There is no "ONE WAY", but rather a lot of ways which pretty well. Ultimately you get to the point where you either:

1. Choose a hero and follow him.
2. Pick-n-Choose carefully among various techniques.

I choose 'B', but don't think there is necessarily a problem with choice 'A' either.
