I had to pause it right after it started and turn my wifi off. I really don't want the company IT people to think I like these kinds of videos lol.

On the other hand, I really want a drone now.

Bravo concealment has always had horrendous advertising. If you flip through a gun magazine they always have a add or two with some one doing something weird with a gun/holster.

I like the women in the gun industry that are competent and don't use sex appeal to compensate.

I'm probably not going to be buying the product but I thought the gun handling skills were in the top 1% of the shooters in this country.

Not the best but not far from where most of us came from not too long ago.

Luke
01-15-2016, 02:57 PM
They aren't that bad, you are correct. But if I'm in the holster making business I would kindly pass on them. All though the funny videos were really good. I didn't have as much of a mental speed bump over the shooting as I did all the "adults" gawking at the old lady

Pretty much. Ironically this sorta goes against the other thread with how people are treated and stereotyped but if someone is gonna try and fit a certain role I'll judge them in it.




And I'm glad I've turned down most every YouTuber who has asked for free shit.

I've seen far worse at local matches, yeah. That said, what's up with her going for the mag that's farthest back on her belt first and then proceeding forward? Seems like that would not just feel awkward but also be slower than going for the front-most mag first.

As to the stuff the rest of you are discussing, well, I knew we were going to be headed down that path as soon as I saw her demonstrate her hair-flipping skills before doing any actual shooting. :P

Yeah, that was something that was glaring as well. I'd be curious how they left a class with that particular draw stroke though before working on approaching the reload.

Two questions:

1) Is that his mom or is she a cougar?
2) Calling Travis Haley: Can you show her how to high-speed scan with a tactical scrunchie or should she just go with an operator bob like Aeon Flux?

I'm beginning to wonder if folks know what a cougar really is.

I have heard rumors that there is another shooting forum that might have a thread with pictures of a cougar.

A few things I took away from that video.

-The post shoot scan assess move is further complicated if your hair swings around in your face.
-My draw isn't as bad as I thought.
-My reloads aren't either.
-I need a drone.

Her hair isn't the only thing swinging during the "scan".

Someone has a post about sexism and racism in the shooting sports on this forum. They could just link to this thread.

Having said the above, she isn't so terrible. As her instructor, I would get her to stop putting her rear out and squatting on the reload so much, but I can understand why her instructor didn't correct her actions right away.

Whoa there cuz.

Let's get something clear. Sexism /racism has nothing to do with deliberate self-exhibition.

As to the squatting position, its a tactic. If we are looking here.....so will RayRay at 3 AM. While he's sneaking a peak at her assets...

She's coachable...I'd coach her for free!

Really though: She does actually use the slide release, something rare enough for the Cory and Erika types out there...if her and her hubby actually bought a timer instead of the fancy new Coyote FDE holster for their unsuppressed guns with threaded barrels, they'd probably improve a fair amount... :D

You don't think that much of the discussion on the video revolves around the assets of one of the shooters and we're not talking about shooting skills?

One of the reason you won't see me post video of my wife or daughter shooting. The woman in the video is pretty to this old guy. I also understand that many products from cars to holster rely on sex appeal to market their wares.

It's not a federal case, just a comment on the path of the discussion, which I am guilty of contributing to as well. I'm not casting stones here, just commenting.

I fail to see how any of that relates to sexism or racism in the shooting sports. Like you said, this is marketing and using hot women to attract views is hardly unique to the shooting world nor do I see how its inherently sexist. She's using her looks, we're commenting on her looks, how is that sexist. Matthew McConaughey isn't selling Lincolns because he's a car expert. Sexism against men in the car industry? There's a difference between recognizing sex appeal and being sexist.

I bet you'd get a completely different of a video of a young girls and women engaged in actual shooting sports, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZE-EDGw2vo or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SORxmwmrcUI and not due to age but due to obviously being serious about competition and being shooters, not spokesmodels.

I'm certainly not going to argue their isn't sexism and racism in the shooting world, it's part of the real world and those things exist everywhere to a greater or lesser degree, but I fail to see how this thread is illustrative of this.

I think the only relation this video has to sexism is it undermines women who do shoot well and don't play pretend gun bunny. That said... It's apparent that they are proud of where they are skill wise and relative to the average shooter they might as well be Dave Sevigny. I keep going back and forth but the simple fact that she isn't an ugly female and most of the video is her I think they're trying to exploit that. It's annoying.


And for her to be a cougar she needs to not only have some age difference she also needs to be in pursuit of younger men. Just because she's not 25 doesn't make her a cougar.

The fact is that these days expressing admiration for a woman's appearance is very likely to elicit accusations of sexism.

But when we express gratitude for African American Second Amendment activists no one calls it racist???:confused:

It's my observation most 'average' female shooters are measurably superior to males , all other factors being equal. Leaving the ego at home can do wonders.
