I feel like I'm watching Adam-12. I enjoy seeing how much training has evolved...

Hope your not knocking these videos.. its better then what most civilian mandated training programs will provide for a person.

Althouh 18 years ago there was a "local" in 120 mile training company doing state permit training that mandated people to run while shooting, and doing other things you only actually see in the bank shoot out in The Wild Bunch

The use of cover and skip fire information in the FBI video is useful. Otherwise a lot of what’s in the FBI video is setting people up for failure. It’s entertaining but there are reasons none of this is taught anymore.

You can’t post a Wild Bunch reference and not post the scene:

SMDH ... Not at you Yung. Rather, at those who just don't know.

This stance plus the point shooting gets me every time; we (everyone) have/has come a long way as shooters.Wasn’t it DB who talked about getting scolded at the police academy… for using his sights?

I swear I saw an article in one of the NRA type gun magazines that referenced Jelly Bryce, something similar to that stance, and him teaching at the FBI. Can't go back and reference it, it was in the office shitter when I read it.

As a brand-new part-time cop, circa 1994 or so, I was exhorted by several old hairbag instructors to shoot at close range like this. One even advocated canting the pistol sideways and bracing it on the hip.

That particular individual also had our class shoot shotguns from the hip at "close range" (anything less than 10 yards ).

Keep in mind that this stuff was still "gospel" in some places, thirty years or more after the "Modern Technique" was introduced...
