Movie Reviews of Marine Corps Marksmanship
Movie Review: What I have been looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike many of the other reviewers of this DVD I was never in the Marines. After recently reading the "Art of the Rifle" I realized that most of my rifle shooting takes place from the bench. As a hunter and shooting enthusiast it dawned on me that I should really start to make an effort to learn my shooting positions.
After reading some books on the subject I went to the range but only to be frustrated. It sure looked easier in the books than the practical application.
This DVD fills the gap between theory vs. practical and I am very glad I picked it up. There are parts where I continuously rewind, play, jot down notes, and practice shooting positions on my living room floor. To see the Sargeant go through building the positions from the ground up, adjust natural point of aim, and preach the fundamentals is excellent. Use of the sling is also very helpful as this is another element that can be hard to apply strictly out of a book. The only thing that would be better is if a Gunny showed up to help analyze your form... okay, maybe not.
Is this video perfect? No. As others have said sound can be an issue, but also things like the whiteboard dissappearing in the background is annoying. But I will take it as is and not mind paying the $$$ I did for the DVD.
Note that the "Marine Marksmanship" book is often bundled with this DVD purchase. This book is actually a good companion if you are really trying to learn from the DVD. The DVD follows the book closely, which is really no surprise considering it is the syllabus for the program.
Also, others have made the point that the focus is on the M-16 type rifle. I shoot all scoped weapons and the application is the same. For instance, the cheek weld method utilized in this video has full application to a hunting rifle if you apply it. Since black rifles are now making their way more and more into sport shooting the application of the M-16 in this video is actually a bonus. Tapping magazines, forward assist, are all applicable to an AR type sporting rifle.
