This man has more commitment to providing good quality content than just about anyone else on youtube. Soaked to the skin in the rain? Doesn’t matter, we have another video to make. And I stress, good quality content, not the overly produced clickbait stuff that so many others spew out. Much, much respect to this man for what he provides for us here.

Standing out in the rain getting soaking wet, getting your equipment muddy and and expending ammunition for free content to watch so I can become a better shooter. Thanks Paul

Paul is the next door neighbor we all wish we had.

“It looks like it’s about to rain. I better go make a video.”

this explains why my reloads are so accurate. im always surprised when they go off!

I laughed when he had to prove that he could square off to a target in a "fighting" posture. The work he does just to keep the comments positive and on topic is crazy . I never miss a Paul Harrell lesson. All of us pre 1970 babies appreciate the lesson

The comments about leaving a mess on the range are so important for how understated Paul delivered them.

I have found that a .22 LR can help a great deal with flinch. The recoil is so mild that you're very aware of flinch, and can thus see yourself correcting it in real time without resorting to dummy rounds. Putting a box of 50 rounds or so through a .22 rifle or pistol every so often has helped me quite a bit with flinch.

yeah...the beer cans at a shooting range...same thing as finding beer cans floating on a lake, left behind by "sportsmen"

I've had a few circumstances where people were leaving trash just like that at places where we USED to be able to shoot. It's sad that some people just don't think very deeply about that and/or don't care at all. You're great Paul keep up the great content. As always, like a hardy Skyrim horse, you deliver no matter what the weather brings.

Another reason to go to the range when raining...less likely to be a lot of people there at the same time fighting for a lane. Great content as usual, Mr. Harrell.

“For me that feels like moving at least one joint in the direction it doesn’t want to go” lol I love the humor Paul Thank you as always for the videos sir! 👍👍👍👍

Never say the trigger release “surprised” you…in court.

Paul should have a monument built for him. The man literally is teaching people to shoot better while in the rain.

"I could probably go on all day..." please do

I like how you decided to take out your earplugs while the camera was rolling so you didn't have to say "This is an earplug case, I use earplugs with every shot I take"

I started shooting a BB gun when I was about ten years old. Was on a 4-H .22 rifle team when I was 16 YOA, and was shooting M-1s and then M-14s from 18 to 21 in the infantry. Once again on a rifle team, one year with M-1s and the last with M-14s. After the Army, I was a LEO for three different federal agencies and a firearms instructor for the last two. I have continued shooting rifles, pistols. and shotguns and hunting big game to this day. The previous paragraph is just to give my bona fides for this: Paul Harrell is the best firearms instructor on KZfaq! If you apply his shooting techniques, your accuracy will improve.

The biggest thing to me when it comes to shooting off hand and being able to make consistant hits is being repetive. Doing the same thing everytime you shoot. Keeping the same sight picture, same trigger squeeze and controling your breathing. If you do all that than its just matter having your sights adjusted or if in heat of the moment being able walk your shots into where you want them to go. Over all great video, I enjoy all the content you post and publish.

Damn, The youtube video compression did Paul dirty in this one

If the shot surprises you it will always hit wherever the sights are at the time. If you’re locked in a rest and the sights aren’t wavering, that’s just dandy. But to actually hit what one is aiming at unsupported or less supported, one must be able to intentionally break the shot when the sights are aligned with the actual point of aim.

As a finale to this series, I think Paul should shoot Pop-Tart boxes from 100 yards.

Gotta add "DO TRY THIS AT HOME, you don't rise to the occasion, you fall back on your level of training."

I put my nose on the charging handle on my HK91 and it almost tore my face off.

Thanks Paul. I was taught the nose to charging handle technique on an M16A1 in Basic many many years ago. It worked well enough to score Expert. Ironically, TJ from Tactical Shit did a video demo of a new fancy charging handle on a F/A a while back. The charging handle reciprocated with the bolt carrier on every shot. Glad it wasn’t me with my nose in the path.

The British Military teach the four basic principles of marksmanship:- 1. The position and hold must be sufficient to support the weapon. 2. The weapon should point naturally at the target. 3. The sight picture should be properly aligned and correct 4. The follow through should be allowed to complete. Everything Paul does and says falls into line with those principles and they've worked well for me over the decades.

Range slobs got every informal range closed around Wenatchee Wa. Dragging junk up to shoot , broken glass,etc. Always clean up after yourself.

Paul the boss Harrell the legend

The visual at 7:15 of firing in the rain, with the sling and STEAM rolling off your head is epic. I nominate this is your OFFICIAL GIF for your channel. Outstanding topic. Well presented, and as others said, kudos for your "I don't care if it is raining" attitude... carry on.

When Paul Harrell does push ups, he's not pushing himself up, he pushes the Earth down.

That little hissy fit dance... Lmao... Pricelessly hilarious. 100 percent true

Too many people don’t spen enough time dry firing and handling their firearms.

I definitely understand the "range idiot" part of your presentation. The city I live in maintains the old armory range. Annual fee is $25, but the range is unmanned. I was at the range when a couple vehicles pull in. I am on the rifle side at the "main line" which is 100 yards to the targets another 3(ish) to a 15ft berm. Twelve people unload from the vehicles. Six were minor children down to still in pampers but walking freely. The rest being "adults". The first act of one of these was to go to the cooler and pull out a bottled beer take a drink, hurl it in the air, and try to pull a saloon stunt with his concealed carry pistol. He missed. Said fired shot headed of towards the east at 1000fps and he just runs around for another bottle. I start packing my rifles away. They see this. Tell "trick shot" to cool his jets to which he replies "I paid my membership. I can do what I want." Tosses the bottle and manages to graze it, bullet goes of to the wild blue yonder. ( there is a sign at the gate saying no household garbage as targets, no drinking(alcohol) on the range, and NO glass bottles.) I pack my firearms into my vehicle clearly leaving my M9 Beretta in my battle belt, and drive to the gate which they left open. Upon clearing the gate I notify the local police. The individual was given a field sobriety test which he failed and arrested. He pled out got probation, and was back out at the range(in violation of said probation) less than a month later. He left before the police responded (go figure), and "since THEY the POLICE didn't see anything then nothing happened. I.e. if they catch him, he goes to prison and the county loses the probation $$$.

Another awesome and informative video, Paul! Thank you very much and keep the content rolling. I loved your reference to, "BRASS" with a single exception: I learned it as, Breathe, Relax, Aim, SLACK, Squeeze. It's a minor nit-picking, old man (71) thing, which relates to my time in service with the M-14 and my PMIs in the Marine Corps. Bless you and keep up the great content.

Thank you, Mr. Harrell. It's always a pleasure learning from you.

Paul, My shooting background is in NRA High power rifle. Our positions are somewhat circumscribed by the rules, particularly using a sling. I found your ideas interesting, and intend to experiment with them next outing to the range. Thanks for calling out the all to common slobs in the shooting community! Thanks for the fine video.---?TPf

Literally got back from the range zeroing my AR10 today! Paul truly embodies the Zeitgeist (and poptarts) of our time.

“Nose to the charging handle” was how I was taught in Army BCT.

Anyone who rests their off hand higher on an AK, towards the barrel, than the hand guard will learn very quickly how hot it gets and won't repeat that mistake.

I think "nose to charging handle" was taught many moons ago on M16s with peep sights purely to have a consistent cheek weld position. And, I think the DIs thought it was funny when you had a notch etched on your BCGs. The consistent cheek weld position is partially negated when using optics due to a range of eye relief.

Thank you for this informative series. I grew and lived in Central Arizona where I still live. After buying a surplus M1 Carbine in the late 60's I had a friend whose dad was a WW II veteran and he taught us the various firing positions and shooting techniques which are quite similar to your videos. We did our firearm and archery at a range with known distances and in the field with unknown distances over various types of terrain on foot out across the desert utilizing various shooting positions. Now many years later when i go to the local range I am one of a very few who shoots offhand, kneeling, sitting and prone position. I am also one of a very few that uses a recurve bow.

Seems like Smokey Bear needs Paul "The No Range Trash" Harrell to start educating bums about range edicate

What a nice Saturday afternoon surprise! Keep 'em coming, Paul!

A video with Paul and a wasr is always a good watch

I like how ALIVE this video was. No cuts, no transitions, we went from talking to shooting, to walking to the target!

Paul takes the weather, hot, rain, snow, he just creates one of the best yt contents 👍👏

Always amaze me how people mix guns and beer (and sometimes hard liquor). Shooting is NOT softball, neither pool nor dominoes. I do not know who said that common sense was the least common of the senses but was spot on.

Paul Harrell is the greatest of all.

I never had a flinch with rifles, but my handgun flinch was bad. REALLY bad. Like you said, the only remedy is practice. Eventually, you get used to that slide coming at you, you lose the flinch, and even stop blinking. My groups at 10 yards used to be an abysmal 16". Now they're 2", and that's after about 400 rounds of frequent shooting. Another thing I did that helped reduce flinching was to volunteer as a RSO. When you spend 6 hours at the range each week with up to 20 people firing randomly, you just stop caring and the loud sound doesn't bother you anymore.

Hopefully, the many who badly need to watch these videos will watch them Thanks for the video

"..which is good practice anyway..." Unbelievably based.

I've been picking up a grocery bag of trash each time I go to the range. My area of choice is getting tidier, and guess what? .... I can find more of my brass. Others have seen me and asked what I was doing. Now I see some of them doing it too.

I don't own a gun, don't have a safe place to keep one. I watch this production on the first day of each release for the basic reason that the presenter provides a rationale and framework that is useful as a framework for most interactions... an example : "that works for some people". or, "I am explaining I am presenting what works for ME". simple? not really, it is actually a discipline to be authentic AND fair and consistent. it it logical? does it have integrity? is it honest?. this is what I look for in these presentations. and its a lot cheeper than owning and arming a gun with ammo.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is that this video was ONLY 16 minutes. Ha ha. I love his 2-3 hour Thanksgiving specials.

Thanks Paul, always helpful

Great stuff, as per usual !

Always sucks when people trash a range. I never understood why people ruin fun places. Damn shame.

Thank you for Part 2 video.

Great stuff Paul!

Thank Paul! Great info!

Thanks Paul, looking forward to the next one!

Great presentation, excellent points made. Thanks, Paul !

Another good one. Thanks, Paul!

Thank you Paul and Crew for another excellent presentation.

Yet again very nice presentation thanks Paul!

Great, informative video. I'm looking forward to part three.

Thank you! Very informative.

Thanks, Paul!

This is the video I was waiting to see. Great one, thanks Paul.

Awesome brother thanks for sharing

Thank you for your time and effort

3:31 - You're absolutely right, Paul. I used to go to Lytle Creek in SoCal. I later found Wild Horse Canyon shooting range near Devore, and was happy to drive the extra 30 miles to go shooting because I was sick of seeing shot up refrigerators, TV's, washing machines, and so forth at Lytle Creek. Soon after I started going to Wild Horse Canyon, Lytle Creek got shut down. Then all the scumbags from Lytle Creek started showing up at Wild Horse Canyon, and they brought their bad habits with them. Wild Horse Canyon later got closed down. Had no place to shoot after that, except controlled private ranges. I don't care for private shooting ranges.

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

Excellent video!

Thank you for the information Paul.

Thanks Paul good info

1983 SGT Stevens taught me to shoot my M16A1 rifle …nose to the charging handle….another SGT…with a good deal of real world experience “ combat” in Central America….RENFORCED…shoot nose to charging handle. It works for me. GREAT VIDEO!

thank you Paul

That dummy round drill is gold! +1 Like

Thanks, Paul.

Another great video, Paul. Ready for part III.....

Yay! I've been looking forward to this one. Thanks, Paul. We really appreciate all your hard work.

Prone unsupported was always my most accurate position when I was in the Army.

Haven’t even seen the video and I’ve already liked/saved for later. Keep up the great work!
