XDman Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I am looking for a set of DVD's that would provide quality advice, training, set up and practice advice that also incorporates the newest rules for USPSA. Maybe geared to Production. Any suggestions? Is there a training DVD similar to the above but covers 3-gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Vigilante Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I would suggest the Matt Burkett DVD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leozinho Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I have most of Burkett's DVDs, both of the 3GM dvds, and I once watched Ron Avery's series. I think Ron Avery's might be the best. (I'd like to watch them again.) I don't think there's much about USPSA rules in it. 3GM has little bits of advice specifically for USPSA, so you'll pick up some tips regarding rules (eg, avoiding footfalls.) Noveske's 3 Gun team has a DVD out, but I haven't watched it. At $25, the price is right. Here's a review of it. http://www.westernshooter.com/2011/02/3-gun-outlaw-by-noveske-shooting-team-dvd-review.html For AR, Bennie Cooley's DVD is better than Burkett's AR DVD. I wouldn't bother with the Magpul videos. They were a waste of time for me. Edited March 30, 2011 by Leozinho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 One of the best 3gun DVDs out right now is the Noveske Outlaw DVD. very informative on gear selection, stage breakdowns, shooting techniques, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A38337 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Have the following: Burkett (all) Cooley's rifle DVD 3GM (both) Magpul (all carbine and rifle) Jerry Michulek's carbine DVD Also, recently Watched Saul's Masterclass 1, 2, and The Mental Game None of the DVDs cover rules per se (with the exception of Burkett's IPDA DVD), although they are mentioned in passing. Best way to learn rules is to take a RO class (it'll make you a better shooter, for sure). None of the DVDs specifically address production, although it is covered. All of the DVDs have different styles and pros and cons. None of them are "bad". You can get ALL of Burkett's DVDs in a package deal right now for $135. That is a killer deal. http://www.predatortactical.com/DVDs-and-Books-c17/ After that, I would get Saul's Master Class 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay870 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Also check out Double Alpha Theater. http://theater.doublealpha.biz/ A couple of subscription levels, with streaming access to 3GM & 3GM II and Saul's Mater Class series... plus a ton of match footage.

hankfan79 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I had ALL of the Burkett DVD's and I didn't learn a whole lot. I believe they are good for BRAND NEW shooters. Other than that, the only thing I learned is the Matt shoots fast. There really isn't to much detailed instruction on how to improve your shooting. You might want to look at Panteao Productions.

XDman Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the advice. Always a pleasure dealing with the shooters on this site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Any info on where I can pick up "Making Ready with Bob Vogel" dvd(s)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XDman Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 OMG, ordered the Matt burkett dvds and got a call from Matt thanking me for the purchase. Now that is customer service. May have to take his class in WV in May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninemmbill Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 You can't go wrong with Matt's DVD series. For 3-gun get Noveske's Outlaw DVD it is pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gaines Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 any video you can get your hands on are good videos....When I first started shooting, I watched all the supersquad videos, Burkett videos. Best thing you can do is learn by watching. Watching the supersquad shoot, you can see the various styles of shooting, footwork, strategies etc. Matt burkett's videos were good for the fundamentals and should be seen by everyone who shoots this sport, that wants to get better. But if you want free goto youtube there are plenty of videos to watch, "be weary of the mall ninjas"Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A38337 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 XDman - DEFINITELY take the class with Matt (or any top shooter). In 2010 I took classes from Matt Burkett and Ben Stoeger. I've previously taken a class from Travis Tomassie. I would take classes from them again in a heartbeat. Classes teach you so much more than watching videos. You have a top GM looking at YOUR shooting, telling you how to improve YOUR shooting. Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A38337 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The Panteao videos are not out just yet. Soon. I'll be looking to buy some of them, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Coelho Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 The Panteao website is now live for those interested. The Bob Vogel DVDs are shipping on the 18th. The Intro to IDPA video with Mark Redl will also be shipping on the 18th. The Jessie Abbate video should be shipping by the end of the month.

MikaelR Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's all been said already, but I'll voice my opinion anyway DAA's (www.doublealpha.biz) Theater is a great way to kill time. Saul's Master Class dvd's is great. And besides the tutorial dvd's, there are Loads of match videos I've also seen a couple of Burketts and they are also good.

dravz Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I wouldn't bother with the Magpul videos. They were a waste of time for me. The Magpul videos (the handgun ones, at least) are more for general/defensive use and are not competition-oriented really at all. Yes, a lot of what they show will apply (grip, reloads, etc.) but it isn't for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta4 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 The Magpul videos (the handgun ones, at least) are more for general/defensive use and are not competition-oriented really at all. Yes, a lot of what they show will apply (grip, reloads, etc.) but it isn't for that. I've only watched MagPul's "Art of the Dynamic Shotgun", but I found a lot of the general purpose information to be very applicable to 3 Gun. Admittedly, I'm a bit of a shotgun newb and I'm also new to 3 Gun, but I found the MagPul shotgun videos to be very beneficial. One particularly useful area was combat reloading. Costa demonstrated his combat reload several times and gave a couple different explanations to help it sink in. Afterward, the 8-10 students walked through the process several times. It was incredibly helpful to see the students learning how to utilize the method, and see the instructors assist them in applying the method until they got it down. I'm not sure why, but seeing both the instructional portion and the student's learning process really helped drive the lesson home for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XDman Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks for the tips! Trying to convince the wife that the Burkett training in Virg, in May would be an excellent Birthday gift, a little early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoldasLions Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I like the burkett videos, but honestly the quality control didn't exactly impress me. Great information, but it can get hella boring. If your a visual learner, I really recommend any of the super squad dvds(which aren't instructional, but for visual learners its a great tool). I recommend any of Saul Kirsches training vids too! Edited April 28, 2011 by BoldasLions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
