5.0 out of 5 stars Great video. Straight to the point training., January 26, 2006

This video was exactly what I needed. I own an AR15 exactly as used in the video. It was time for me to learn the fundamentals of shooting after struggling for several months on my own. Every one knows that Marines are superior marksman, and this video shows you everything from putting the strap on the gun, looking through the sights, breathing, all the shooting positions, and everything else you need to shoot well over the 4 hour program. The concepts in this video can be applied to ANY firearm. I was so impressed with the depth of this video. You get to see about 5 different drill instructors during basic training teach their recruits in a true, personal, and disclipined approach to shooting. There is a lot of content over 4 hours so you really want to watch scenes more than once, maybe even watch the entire DVD again at somepoint. I went out shooting the next day after watching the program and was just blown away how well I was shooting with a first try at the techniques. After a few more weeks of going out to the range and applying the fundamentals each and everytime, my accuracy and confidence improved immensly! It makes shooting so much more fun because you will develop a new appreciation for shooting.

I am going to search for more Marine Corps related marksmanship videos because they do the best job in teaching you what you NEED to know with no bs whatsoever. This might be the only video you'll ever need to learn how to shoot well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Video is on target, October 4, 2007

This review is from: Marine Corps Marksmanship (DVD)

I have been out of the Marine corps for 21 years now. I hadn't really shot much since getting out. I am shooting more these days and was having problems remembering the drills. I bought this video and it really took me back to Boot Camp. The instruction is on the M-16 but the principles apply to any long arm. The instruction is from basic knowledge to advanced marksmanship. All the shooting positions are covered in detail, tips on leading a target, effective cover, sight alignment-sight picture,breathing,clearing a malfunction, and more are covered in this video. The Marine Corps way is the best and most accurate way to fire your weapon. This is a great video for anyone who picks up a rifle. With this video, you can't miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent., June 28, 2006

This review is from: Marine Corps Marksmanship (DVD)

This DVD is a great instructional DVD. It sits you down for actual U.S.M.C. PMI and really demonstrates why the Marine Corp produces some of the worlds greatest shooters.

You will be taught how to properly breath, relax, aim, sight, and squeeze off your shots accurately, and quickly. Not only will you be taught how to shoot well, but also proper handling and safety information for your M-16 (or civilian variant) and procedures to assist in the event of a malfunction (jam.)

For any civilian that would like to improve their marksmanship skills on ANY weapon system, (particularly the M-16 and all variants) this DVD is perfect. I'd also highly recommend it for anyone planning on entering service in any of the branches. It will put you one step ahead of the game, and trust me. That step will earn you a lot of points.
