I rented all three videos. The first is what I expected, basic manipulation and safety, with an intro drill or two.

Volumes 2 & 3 were a bit of a letdown for me. Good videos? I say yes, but with a few issues. I could have done with less equipment information and more drills, skills work and tactics.

James is a no BS kinda instructor, which I appreciate.

These videos I think have a few purposes. First, it seems like it was either a 3-DVD set infomercial or an introduction for his students attending his classes. Second, it was a "vent" for James to issue challenges and rebuke his critics. Funny, at times, but I didn't rent a comedy. I do however appreciate levity in classes.

I'm all about trigger time when it comes to practice and training. The videos had some great information and many key points that are fantastic points with sound tactics. But more teamwork drills, especially, would be a great addition to future videos.

All-in-all, a good rent. Not great, but good. For someone attending one of his classes, or wants a good introduction to the tactical rifle(M4/M16), rent them. For someone looking for more challenge or if you are already familiar or have had some formal training with the M4/M16 platform, look elsewhere.
