Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This video left a lot to be desired, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone. There are far better Defensive Shotgun videos available to spend your money on.
Aside from the production values, and sound quality in some sections of the video, there are numerous occasions where incorrect nomenclature is used (example - # 4 buckshot is consistently listed as "0000 buck". The word "gauge" is misspelled on the graphics throughout the video. This may seem insignificant, but in a SHOTGUN TRAINING video, the word "gauge" is pretty darn important.
The session on the "vast array" (or words to that effect) of shotgun ammunition available consists of Lenny slicing open a 00 buck shotshell and examining the components. That's it.
There is questionable gun handling practiced throughout the video. It advertises that it will show the viewer how to field strip a Remington 870 (far and away the most common "Combat" shotgun) but it does not.
There is some very old, and totally irrleveant footage of some sort of black powder firearms competition that has nothing at all to do with modern fighting shotguns.
As a pet peeve of mine, Lenny says "alright ?" so much throughout the video, that it became distracting. You're almost paying more attention to that than the educational part of the video. It became kind of like a drinking game after a while just waiting on the next "alright ?"
The people who will order this video, I'm afraid, are new shotgun shooters who won't be able to recognize how much bad information is in here. This must also be where all the good reviews come from...people new to Defensive Shotgun concepts who don't have anything to compare this to and thus, believe it to be good.
Skip this one. Seriously. Order Clint Smith's or Tom Givens' Defensive Shotgun videos.
