i wanted to know if there are any good instructional dvds out there to help with shooting accuracy, stance and grip?

humn tough one.... honestly, I am sure there are, however your best bet is really to just take an inperson course. If you are up north, gun4hire is top notch, then after a few months take a combat course with Christ at MDTS.

 

I am sure Brick Armory and other ranges also offer top notch classes.

 

DVD's do a great job of telling you what to do, but none of them are showing you what to do, and what you are doing incorrectly.

Maks is right. If you want some direction for fundamentals, maybe there is even someone who is NRA certified who lives near you that may be willing to give you a couple pointers (fees up to that individual of course).

But to answer your question, if DVDs is really your thing, it would also depend on what type of platform you're asking about. I'm assuming pistols, but I could be mistaken. Magpul just released their new DVD for handguns (almost seems like a shameless plug every time I bring up Magpul now :roll:, but I'm in no way affiliated): http://store.magpul.com/product/71/76 Its a new product to me, so, I'm not exactly how much or what it includes specifically. However, its targeted audience is quite broad (from civilian users in CCW and HD situations to MIL), so theres always something to learn. It is a bit pricey though.

and there are quite a few NRA certified instructors on the board. including a few of the mods/admins.... but shhhhhh! :shhh:

 

Just come down to one of our get together and ask.

Here is one to teach the basics. I also recommend the First steps pistol class.

Then practice, practice, practice.

If you are interested in classic rifle handling, Fulton Armory sells a three-DVD set of WWII era GI training films, on stance (standing, prone, sitting), how to use a sling, how to adjust sights, etc.

The problem with most DVDs is that it's hard to tell if you're doing something right. You can try to mimic what you see on the screen, but until you go out and actually try some of the stuff, there's no way of knowing if you're doing it right. DVDs are good for introducing you to general concepts, but a trained instructor will catch the little things.

 

Anyway, if you're very new to firearms, I agree with what others have said - take an NRA First Steps course. I took my fiance to one after I got my first few guns because she had never been around guns, and I hadn't fired a gun in years. I feel like it was one of the best things I could do to get introduced to the basics in a nice, friendly, stress free environment. We took ours with GunForHire, and we had a really good time. Highly recommended for the beginner.

The Matt Burkett dvd series is excellent. Very informative and well produced,

Yea, I have picked up alot of good info from DVDs and I would recommend. Gabriel Suarez & Kelly McCann these are no nonsense guys. They do a great job of teaching combating shooting. I actually boought several of them from paladin press and purchased a few from Gabriel Suarez website, but recentily I found www.goldstarvideo.com and just rented them online and saved a bunch of money. I hope that helps!
