GT'ers, thought you might want to know about the new release in the Practical Shooting series volume 6 - The AR-15!
Thanks,
Matt Burkett
FYI, figured out how to make a flash commercial too! If you need video conversion to Flash, please contact me. It is way cool! Check it out on the front page of

Matt,

I just finished watching your new video #-6 and wanted to say thanks for another great job.
_
I'm a Police Officer, SWAT member, firearms instructor, armorer, blah, blah, blah._ Anyway I'm always pleased with the amount of information I pick up from your videos that I can put to use._ On your AR video I really liked the various stances you covered._ I have not previously seen the prone position with turning the gun on its side._ I'm going to be putting that to some use at future trainings._ I also love the idea of pointing the support hand index finger at the target._ As I'm sure you know most Police shootings are at very close range._ I thinking using the concept of pointing the finger is going to greatly help my guys out.
_
In your video you made a comment about 'tactical guys' keeping their elbows down and everything tight._ You are right in your reasoning._ Most of the spaces we work in are very tight._ Our bad guys seem to like to live in the smallest apartment, single wide trailer, or shack they can find.__There is a second reason though._ Us cops have to do a lot of other things with that support hand besides holding the rifle._ During searches I've had to open doors, move various obstacles and/or people,_key my radio mic, etc._ You can support the rifle with just your strong hand if your elbow is down._ Cant be done for more than a few seconds if your elbow is out._ Our SWAT members actually train to shoot the rifle one handed in case the need arises.
_
I have run many thoughts, questions, and concepts by you in the past and have always gotten a response._ Thanks a bunch for being the resource that you are._ Also congrats on another great video._ I'm looking forward to #7.

Got my DVD yesterday of the AR-15. I LIKE IT. There is a lot of good information in the DVD. There are also some extras on the DVD that I like. That MGM IronMan match looks like a BLAST. If you have not ordered your copy or you are waiting to get it I am sure you are going to like it.
MATT GREAT JOB.
Over 4 1/2 hours of video on a 2 DVD set!
