Travis Hailey has his say.

Yeah. It's like women from 1957 gossiping about Fran banging the milk man in here 90 percent of the time.

Hahh, just kiiddding.
 
Travis has taken the time to reflect on what he has seen in this great world and has matured as a person. Until people get to see and understand how the other half lives, they really don't understand.

For example, you would not use that AR shooting stance on extended patrols in the heat packing 200 lbs.
That AR shooting stance could limit your 360 awareness.

Sorry for the derail, but I've been thinking about these statements and wonder how his stance would not be appropriate for what you suggest? As far as I can tell, he just uses an open stance with his shoulders square to the target. It would seem to me that unless you were using cover, that keeping your plates squared to the target would be a good thing? I also can't understand how his stance would limit his awareness? You only use that stance when you are actually shooting at something....

Perhaps you could clarify? I'm just trying to understand what you are saying.

I just want to say that there are millions of scenarios and angles. For a regular patrol soldier, this technique could be fatiguing. I have heard this from a few soldiers.
I think that this could be a great focus stance, while in a direct confrontation RIGHT NOW.

His awareness could be limited by the very focus that this shooting position entails. Like martial arts there are many styles.
I do like this style for this task.
 
All things considered, if the guy has been in firefights, again, he probably knows what he's talking about. I mean zero disrespect to say it, but probably more than the average soldier. He wouldn't recommend certain techniques unless he felt they were the best for the situation, and if he's been IN those situations and tested them out, I'll take that advice.

Definitely. All depends on the situation. Of course these videos can only touch on the basics.
 
Good video. Part at the end when he talked about his kids playing made me think of my daughter. Definitely an opinion changing video for me. I didn't give this guy a heck of a lot of credit (I just don't like the magpul marketing) but that was a very good video. He said a lot of things well, and he is obviously a pretty smart guy who has been around the block. Definitely the kind of person I'd like to sit down and have a conversation with.

Holy cow, have I been missing something about magpul? lol. It seems a lot of guys aren't fans. That's a genuine question by the way.
 

Here is a great form of shooting that would destroy Travis Haley' theory of speed and accuracy. If you can do it...
This little old fat guy with a short AR15 could take on a Stack.

Cowboy AR15 advanced. Full spacial awareness. All head shots.

pfffft!! i'm still confused by his extreme speed and accuracy. he would have had all of a ''career'' as bounty hunter in the old west.
 
Guys, I didn't start this thread to have it drop into a disscussion about who teaches the best shooting style.......enjoy the video for what it is and leave it at that.

We did enjoy the video for what it was, and out of the video there was a discussion that evolved and progressed. No one needs your permission to have the conversation. Thanks. I'll "leave it at that."
