If you have never seen a Lenny Magill video, then this one likely won't annoy you too badly. But if you have seen one and are aware that his primary interest is in selling himself, then you might want to give this video a pass.
I thought it was better the second time I watched it... I got to see the main thing I wanted, which was Brian Enos grip...
If you've seen 'Pistol Masters' you've seen most of 'How to Shoot Fast and Accurately'. This video has interviews, but the questions asked aren't very good, so the answers aren't terribly useful. A fair amount of time is spent discussing equipment, but it's an 80's video, so the equipment is hardly cutting edge. The videos of the shooting are boring - they are mostly of a two plate steel stage. Lenny drags this thing out and finally develops what he calls 'his' 'sweet spot' theory. It's brilliant, except that any shooter in steel or IPSC already knows the concept and calls it 'index'. Virtually without merit.
I liked it but didn't learn anything new. I enjoyed watching the best of the best shooting it out. It basically proved that you use whatever technique works for you. I'd give it a three though.
I’ve got to start reading the reviews. Most were very accurate. I'm glad I didn't buy it for $27.99. $9.99 for the rental was about $9 too much. It was probably a very good video and cutting edge technology when it was filmed. It's a great video if you like gun history. You can see the guns that they used to use. You can see what the pros looked like in the 1980's with hair. You can see the techniques that were good enough back then. If you have even thought about competition shooting, you are probably too advanced to learn anything from this video. I have rented many of theses gun videos and this is the first one where I didn’t learn something worthwhile.
