I've said this in a previous comment, but I'd love to see him produce some comic/satire videos for fun. Best ammunition to handle werewolves or how to handle vampires coming down your chimney. His demeanor and delivery would be great in such a video. Regardless, he's one of my favorites for firearms education. Hickok45 is my other favorite.
@Ryter Guy: Haha! You're right: his deadpan delivery and general seriousness would be perfect for a parody. "Okay, so I shot several zombies and it looks like they all went down with one shot. Now let's take a closer look. How'd we do?"
Hey Paul, great video as always. I like the jacket, it reminds me of Korean war era camo like my grandfather owned and wore... But you shouldn't let these guys dictate what you wear. You're like the original Clint Eastwood or something, you of all people should wear whatever you want. I've said this before, but your demeanor reminds me of the Roosevelt quote "Speak softly and carry a big stick"
Come on. Learning to shoot from a video series is just as foolish as learning a martial art from a book. Paul is awesome! His videos are awesome and informative. That said, nothing beats in-person, professional instructors watching and critiquing you while doing the drills he is showing. Paul is a great source to use for input into your BS meter while taking classes, though, since there is a lot of BS out there. Paul's videos are not an excuse to avoid the MAG, Gunsight, Sig Academy, Rangemaster, Front Site, etc...of the world. I guarantee he would tell you the same!
Agreed. I can't afford to go to the range often. I do have me a glock 17,hs2000 45 and a ar15. But due to some issues, money's been tight lately. So videos like Paul give me some good stuff to practice in my back yard. Reloads,movement,sight alignment n picture etc etc. Pretty much Everything except the actual shooting of course.
Imagine if Paul was alive at the time of the roman empire. He would make informative shows about the trade-offs between a sword versus a spear, with or without shield etc. in the local amphitheater. While we (the village idiots) would watch attentively.
It's actually a hunting coat that's about 30-40 years old and I got it on E-bay recently. It's old, but I think it's never been worn. But... The votes are in. This will be the last video with the camo coat. It will be relegated to hunting trips. It may also make an appearance in a video specifically about camo clothing.
I like the hunting or 'barn' jacket look. You gotta be over 40 to appreciate it, I guess (lol). With his background and creds, Paul is one of the few youtubers who can pull off the military look, but I like a more understated and unassuming attire myself. I didn't mind the ratty look of the old jacket, for example. It looked like it had lived as much as its owner.
It's interesting how much playing paintball in my spare time really transfers well to similar tactics. I understand that a paintgun doesn't penetrate cover or even concealment very well. But the body moments are very applicable. The modified weaver stance that you use when firing a pistol (bending at the waist around cover) is something a paintaballer would refer to as "snap shooting" and can be performed quickly and accurately. If anyone is interested in "practicing" such movement where someone is shooting back I'd highly recommend finding a "woods ball" paintball field and giving it a go. Again the operation of the paintguns compared to real firearms is not in the same ball league, but the theory of tactics can be practiced with much less "fatal" consequences. What a great video!
Explanations like these are GOLD on RUclips, and it means a lot more hearing this info from you rather then a book. Thanks for doing these and may the channel continue it's growth!
One minute in, listening to your instruction I forgot all about the jacket. As long as your decent I don't care what you wear. Another great vid. thanks.....les
Hi Paul, thanks for the videos. Former Master at Arms here (Navy cop), and you're right on line with what we were trained. We were actually instructed by retired civilian police. I just wanted to comment on people's need to "call out" some of the ideas you discuss in this and other videos. One of my instructors explained shooting to me like this: it's similar to a baseball swing. Sure, there are some little tips and tricks to adjust your swing and make it more effective, but in general, you want to keep it as natural and instinctual as possible. One: it gives you less to remember, and two: you're more likely to be able to produce the same results you got during practice when under stress. What works for most doesn't work for all.
Hi Paul, just purchased the exact shooting jacket you used to wear on ebay just like your old one! Is a medium. If it will fit you, (you prob take a large) i will send it to you as a thanks for all these great videos! Let me know!
These practical applications presentations are priceless for the gun novice, and the veteran shooter alike! And no, referencing your other videos is NOT shameless promotion Paul......you do have an actual reason behind mentioning your other videos. Thanks for making these series!!
I am a new gun owner and your videos are amazing and very informative. I look forward to your videos as I have learned so much. Thank you for posting these videos. As far as the jacket there is nothing wrong with it, camouflage fits the topic.
Its gotta be somewhere in here I think its based off an old wives tale or old hunters tale ( lol ) that probably happened near the beginning of the 20th century, or some soldier or cop was freaked out about the possibility of autoloaders malfunctioning like that. I feel like it really happened to someone once, but theres no way it's so common as to cause a life threatening jam in the gun that you couldnt clear the same as any stovepipe or similar jam
Just a thought (that probably almost everyone here knows) on being back from your cover. Incoming fire is most likely going to kick a lot of debris in your direction. Being a bit back from cover may save your eyes. Especially if its concrete, brick, or something else of the like. Just mentioned in case someone didn't know. Great video as always Paul!
Gee Paul 40 years out of the old shooting jacket must of been like losing an old friend hope you gave it a proper send off. As always an excellent video. Not a bad looking jacket just going to take some getting use to I think.
Now that's cover. Hard switch from cardboard target to block wall made me chuckle. Good point about shooting over cover on one knee AND being back away from it as another option. Thanks, I really enjoy your vids. *BGM.41
Yes Paul. That jacket does remind me of something my grandfather used to wear. And that, sir, is awesome. Because both of my grandfathers were awesome men! By the way, I inherited one of my grandfathers hunting jackets and rifle that he bought back in 1957. My two most prized possessions!
Mr Harrell is a nuts and bolts instructor who isn't trying to impress anyone with his obvious shooting talents but in a matter of fact way teaching people about guns,ammo,and shooting ....Thank you Mr Harrell
The video`s are looking great with the new cameras. As for the jacket, I found the beige ones gave better contrast when you would hold a weapon in front of you. The camo, by design, might not make things as clear as they could be, for demonstration purposes. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great work.
Really appriciate you reminding us to practice with our non-dominate side, thank you. I also remembered training once shooting at balloons on a zip-line affair running perpendicular to us as we popped up behind cover, (which was a piece of plywood). I remember franticly shooting at them, and then being shown how many times I shot the plywood...lol. ...but seriously, Mr. Farnums team that was training us told a story of how shooting from the cover of a brick wall and accidentally shooting the brick has a much more painful lesson.
I like the camo pattern on your new shooting coat. Has a more nostalgic, traditional feel that appeals to an old guy like me. Great instruction by the way.
Sorry to hear about your lose. I too will miss the jacket, the new one is just fine. It is your great descriptions, demonstrations and experience that keep us coming back for more. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers
Paul, really enjoy your video's. would you please do a video on exercises that would help with shooting. I'm getting a little older and losing strength in hands and balance. Great series of videos. Thanks.
I watch a lot of these type of videos, mainly for entertainment purposes, but your's is the first one I have seen that spoke about shooting from the weak hand. Like scope shooting from your weak side as well. I had to practice this when I lost part of my trigger finger from my right hand, seems like it's still awkward as hell after 20 years. And it is. Any semi-auto I fire with my right hand just shreds my index stubby because I have to shoot second digit and lay the stubby along the path of the slide for balance. Not a problem with a revolver. Keep up the good work on the vids, very informative and instructional.
I loved your old jacket, especially that pad/friction on the right shoulder. It reminded me of my shooting jacket from smallbore rifle, but a LOT more practical and comfortable than stiff leather coated in sand paper.
The video, is your usual caliber of superb, and needs no further comment from the likes of me. Cover is something too many shooters overlook, until it's too late! As for your field jacket, I like it! Regular Woodland is pretty pedestrian, and I am glad you chose something with a little different pattern. Keep smashing it! :-)
I'm up, they see me, I'm down. I'm glad to see another veteran with a CIB share some actual knowledge instead of playing GI Joe for people to watch on youtube.
I’ve been watching videos for a long while but I only found your channel a few days ago. Your videos are much more informative than others. I’m not sure why your videos seem almost ‘hidden’ on RUclips.
@@MrSpitfireMustang no, it's because the algorithm only recommends videos it thinks will keep you "on platform," aka watching more RUclips videos, browsing to other peoples' channels, etc. It also rewards shorter videos, because YT can throw up more ads if you watch ten 5 minute videos than if you watch five 10 minute videos. This has the unfortunate side effect of encouraging low-depth, simplistic clickbait, and screwing over truly unique channels like Paul's.
Wore out and only 40 years old . . . pity they just don't make things to last like that anymore. Yet another fantastic video. Thanks for all you do Sir and please keep putting out great information. FYI, I like the pimp attire from a previous video . . . maybe that mink could be your new shooting jacket.
This is the most informative video on shooting from cover I've seen! I'd love to see a future presentation demonstrating ways to shoot long guns from cover:-)
So beneficial to improving skill sets as a shooter to practice and refine technique utilizing your non-dominant hand. It makes adjusting point of aim easier and adds to confidence in scenarios where you have to adapt to survive a serious confrontation.
I think your videos are the best instructional videos on You Tube. That said I think you are forgetting the women, especially the over 55 crowd that usually carry in a purse. They have a little different type of carry, a purse. A purse is not always the correct term to use for one . I call some of these purses trouble waiting too happen in a bad way. My wife only carry in a purse designed for concealed carry. but it still takes practice to get the weapon out and into operation. And reloads are quite slow because the spare mag, if they carry on at all is difficult to retrieve from the purse. I would like your thoughts on this if possible.
Now, we're talking, Paul! Using cover and concealment = better life span. Stealth also a fine life extender. In the LRRP biz, these were the skills that made the difference between a good patrol and... Well, you know how that goes. It's good to see you teaching these critical skills.
Very GOOD VIDEO on effectively using cover. I've seen so many of these TACTICAL TRAINING promotional videos here on UTube absolutely fail in this technique. One must be able to shift the hand gun to WEAK side and still properly hold that weapon while maintaining maximum cover. They actually are OK to shift to weak side without the shift in gun control while overly exposing one's upper torso and worse the entire upper body. This takes practice and training, not as Seal Team Training, but common sense. As you have mentioned in your library of these sit down lectures, common sense is not always inherent. And yes, I watched the whole video.
I know it's almost a year too late but I'm new to this channel. After watching a ton of your videos; yeah, keep the old jacket. It's now a trademark. Great work, by the way!
Bit late I know, but form follows function for me. Content is why I watch your videos. Please wear what is comfortable and serves the purpose of shooting. Thanks for making videos.
Thank you! I really appreciate the education.There’s a couple guys shooting up a mini-van with various calibers of firearms that’s rather surprising at times. I think the series is “How Powerful Is It” [insert caliber].
Another stellar vid as always Paul. I like how you favor the Weaver stance as that is the one I naturally use. When I can't get to the range, I practice with snap caps in my house with shooting from behind walls etc.
Thanks! I enjoy shooting with my off hand, which is my left hand, since I am left-eye dominant. So I've been shooting either way since I started shooting. I'm now at the point where it doesn't matter anymore which hand I use.
Interesting. We were trained a little bit differently. When you stood back from the horizontal cover, we were taught the same. However we were taught to stand back from all cover the same way (except only in instances when the target was far enough away you needed the brace for accuracy.). In the instance you showed we were taught to stand back far enough that we could hold the gun in the firing position and clear the barricade. Then we could just pop the smallest part of ourselves from concealment, fire, and return to concealment without wasting time flexing our arms. This also had the benefit of keeping the slide and the ejection port from being fouled by the wall. We were also taught that once you touched an object (like a wall or the hood of a vehicle.) with your body, you became "glued" to it and it takes you extra time to disengage and return back behind your cover. It also reduces your mobility.. We were also taught that sometimes you wanted to stay WAY back from the cover. Doing this it’s possible to turn cover that’s too small to cover you into something that can. Of course, you have to be more mobile to keep that smaller cover between you and your target. 😬 Those are just very minor points though. Out of all the channels I’ve watched, I’ve found yours to be the most informative and by far the most accurate with the information you give. Thank you for that. It helps refresh my memory. Training was a LONG time ago. Oh, one last comment. You telegraphed your switch under cover. I don’t know if you did that on purpose for the viewers or not.
Every time I hear Paul say that he "could go on for days"... I find myself wishing that he WOULD go on for days. lol
My Name Is Legion
I would love some feature length vids!
Lol! Me too.
I've said this in a previous comment, but I'd love to see him produce some comic/satire videos for fun. Best ammunition to handle werewolves or how to handle vampires coming down your chimney.
His demeanor and delivery would be great in such a video.
Regardless, he's one of my favorites for firearms education. Hickok45 is my other favorite.
@Ryter Guy: Haha! You're right: his deadpan delivery and general seriousness would be perfect for a parody. "Okay, so I shot several zombies and it looks like they all went down with one shot. Now let's take a closer look. How'd we do?"
Ryter Guy - Amen. Me too. And tnoutdoors9 for ballistic testing.
I appreciate the input on the new Jacket. I'll go back to a traditional hunting coat for next weeks video.
Maybe you could shoot that jacket in your next video. Test the ballistic protection of ugly jackets.
Paul Harrell I like the jacket
I guess I'm in the minority here, I think it's a pretty cool jacket (and I usually hate camouflage).
Hey Paul, great video as always. I like the jacket, it reminds me of Korean war era camo like my grandfather owned and wore... But you shouldn't let these guys dictate what you wear. You're like the original Clint Eastwood or something, you of all people should wear whatever you want. I've said this before, but your demeanor reminds me of the Roosevelt quote "Speak softly and carry a big stick"
What jacket is that? I always loved that camo.
That pause is amazing.
You know the one.
Flawless.
Paul Harrell is THE best firearm instruction channel on youtube. Other guys want you to come pay 600 dollars for a class or buy their sponsors gear.
true
yep...that's why 3 of those instructors disliked this video lol
Come on. Learning to shoot from a video series is just as foolish as learning a martial art from a book. Paul is awesome! His videos are awesome and informative.

Agreed.
I can't afford to go to the range often.
I do have me a glock 17,hs2000 45 and a ar15.
But due to some issues, money's been tight lately.
So videos like Paul give me some good stuff to practice in my back yard.
Reloads,movement,sight alignment n picture etc etc.
Pretty much Everything except the actual shooting of course.
How *does* he fund his meat targets?
Imagine if Paul was alive at the time of the roman empire. He would make informative shows about the trade-offs between a sword versus a spear, with or without shield etc. in the local amphitheater. While we (the village idiots) would watch attentively.
the spear with no shield is proven to be the best choice, but maybe paul de roma would make a presentation anyway and make us the judge
*Pulls a gladius from his tunic pocket*
He could grab a pleb from the audience to be The Meat Target.
There are guys on yt who do just that. Skallagrim is the first to come to mind. There's also Lindybeige, Shadiversity, Metatron and others
@@railfan2822 i can see the resemblance between him and lindybeige
you might be older but your information is solid and you are still more of a badass than most instructors I know lol, great vid
wtf kind of backhanded complement is that
@@Iliek Right, when I think of Paul Harrell I don't think of an old guy, instead I think of a very capable guy.
No, I don't like the jacket.
Yes, I love your channel.
Too tacticool for him; I agree!
It's actually a hunting coat that's about 30-40 years old and I got it on E-bay recently. It's old, but I think it's never been worn. But... The votes are in. This will be the last video with the camo coat. It will be relegated to hunting trips. It may also make an appearance in a video specifically about camo clothing.

MAYBE, it would have looked better with matching camo pants ;-)
My Name Is Legion that old jacket sure had "lived" as much as its owner has lived.
I have seen plenty of your videos and have learned more from them than I have other channels on here. There's no brainwashing or b.s.

Retired in 2006 after 22 years in LE..I'm impressed Paul, real life applications.
never mind the jacket, we can still ID you by the crease on the cargo pants
One minute in, listening to your instruction I forgot all about the jacket. As long as your decent I don't care what you wear. Another great vid. thanks.....les
This channel only gets better...and better.
4:28 ultimate soviet squat cover position ;) awesome video as always!!
Great tips, Thanks!

Paul, that jacket looks like someone my grandpa wore.
This channel is far and away the best firearms related channel on YT and I have checked out many, many others.
Hi Paul,
just purchased the exact shooting jacket you used to wear on ebay just like your old one! Is a medium. If it will fit you, (you prob take a large) i will send it to you as a thanks for all these great videos! Let me know!
I just found a couple on E-bay. You'll see one of them in the next video. Thanks for the offer.
You are quite welcome sir! Glad you found one. Its really your signature you know!
I like when I hear people talk about "cover" when they mean "concealment"; those people need to see this video.
These practical applications presentations are priceless for the gun novice, and the veteran shooter alike! And no, referencing your other videos is NOT shameless promotion Paul......you do have an actual reason behind mentioning your other videos. Thanks for making these series!!
I am a new gun owner and your videos are amazing and very informative. I look forward to your videos as I have learned so much. Thank you for posting these videos. As far as the jacket there is nothing wrong with it, camouflage fits the topic.
Here after watching Part two, looking for the guy who commented saying he had a casing fly back into his gun lol. Oh please let me find it.
shutemdwn sounds interesting lol
Lawl. I'm not the only one.
Yeah I was looking for him to, bet he deleted the comment I know I would have.
Its gotta be somewhere in here
I think its based off an old wives tale or old hunters tale ( lol ) that probably happened near the beginning of the 20th century,
or some soldier or cop was freaked out about the possibility of autoloaders malfunctioning like that.
I feel like it really happened to someone once, but theres no way it's so common as to cause a life threatening jam in the gun that you couldnt clear the same as any stovepipe or similar jam

i kind of liked the jacket. I used to wonder if his videos were filmed in the 70's. Now I know why.
Great video thank you Paul.
Now that's cover. Hard switch from cardboard target to block wall made me chuckle. Good point about shooting over cover on one knee AND being back away from it as another option. Thanks, I really enjoy your vids. *BGM.41
Paul, again, thank you for what you are doing for everyday people and handling firearms.
Yes Paul. That jacket does remind me of something my grandfather used to wear. And that, sir, is awesome. Because both of my grandfathers were awesome men! By the way, I inherited one of my grandfathers hunting jackets and rifle that he bought back in 1957. My two most prized possessions!

Who cares what you wear as long as its appropriate...your videos and demeanor are outstanding!
Paul, really enjoy your video's. would you please do a video on exercises that would help with shooting. I'm getting a little older and losing strength in hands and balance. Great series of videos. Thanks.
That's a good idea.
HC Rudd I would love to see a video on that too.
I concur
"And no, I'm not gonna shoot my Jeep to illustrate the point."
I cracked up at that line. Excellent and informative video, as always, Paul!

I’ve been watching videos for a long while but I only found your channel a few days ago. Your videos are much more informative than others. I’m not sure why your videos seem almost ‘hidden’ on RUclips.

This has the unfortunate side effect of encouraging low-depth, simplistic clickbait, and screwing over truly unique channels like Paul's.
Excellent video as always and thank you for taking the time to make clear, informative, demonstrative and now (with the new jacket) colorful vids.
just when I went out and bought my Woolrich like your old one. lol. great videos Paul. Love the NO BS but yet still realistic. thanks and stay safe
Classy and tactical!! Great jacket!!

FYI, I like the pimp attire from a previous video . . . maybe that mink could be your new shooting jacket.
It's not my favorite style of jacket, but you have to be comfortable in what you're wearing. Thank you Paul, as always.
I really enjoy your sense of humor.
Nice shine on the boots! Great videos by the way.
This is the most informative video on shooting from cover I've seen! I'd love to see a future presentation demonstrating ways to shoot long guns from cover:-)
I've just discovered Paul;s videos and watched about 8 or 10 of his videos and they are al great! Paul keep up the great work! Definitely subscribe!
There was one thing going through my mind this whole video. "Paul's knees are in GREAT shape!"
So beneficial to improving skill sets as a shooter to practice and refine technique utilizing your non-dominant hand. It makes adjusting point of aim easier and adds to confidence in scenarios where you have to adapt to survive a serious confrontation.

Love the jacket! Oh yes for me it takes a lot of calendar to get up from a kneeling set. Great stuff! waiting for more!
The jacket is cool...one of my favorite patterns of cammo
One thing about Paul, he makes even a subject as mundane as "cover" seem interesting (lol).
Only 40 years use out of the jacket? Outrageous. You should take it up with the manufacturer. Surely it's still under warranty?
My grandfather wore that jacket during the war and he was awesome.
Bit late I know, but form follows function for me. Content is why I watch your videos. Please wear what is comfortable and serves the purpose of shooting. Thanks for making videos.
Thank you! I really appreciate the education.There’s a couple guys shooting up a mini-van with various calibers of firearms that’s rather surprising at times. I think the series is “How Powerful Is It” [insert caliber].
Another stellar vid as always Paul. I like how you favor the Weaver stance as that is the one I naturally use. When I can't get to the range, I practice with snap caps in my house with shooting from behind walls etc.
Thanks! I enjoy shooting with my off hand, which is my left hand, since I am left-eye dominant. So I've been shooting either way since I started shooting. I'm now at the point where it doesn't matter anymore which hand I use.
Great..... can't wait for 2 and 3. Thanks
Excellent video and presentation!!
Great video Paul! Thank you!
I loved the old jacket. It looked like it came straight out of an 80s buddy cop movie but you rocked that thing somehow
Ahhhh, that is disappointing, I loved seeing you in that old jacket, it looked so warm and comfortable like an old favorite friend.
Spetsnaz jacket + squatting = maximum slav. this is gold.
Thanks for making the tactics part 1 video.
love the jacket , good info and as always ; nice vid paul .
Awesome video, thanks paul!
Interesting. We were trained a little bit differently. When you stood back from the horizontal cover, we were taught the same. However we were taught to stand back from all cover the same way (except only in instances when the target was far enough away you needed the brace for accuracy.). In the instance you showed we were taught to stand back far enough that we could hold the gun in the firing position and clear the barricade. Then we could just pop the smallest part of ourselves from concealment, fire, and return to concealment without wasting time flexing our arms. This also had the benefit of keeping the slide and the ejection port from being fouled by the wall. We were also taught that once you touched an object (like a wall or the hood of a vehicle.) with your body, you became "glued" to it and it takes you extra time to disengage and return back behind your cover. It also reduces your mobility..
We were also taught that sometimes you wanted to stay WAY back from the cover. Doing this it’s possible to turn cover that’s too small to cover you into something that can. Of course, you have to be more mobile to keep that smaller cover between you and your target. 😬
Those are just very minor points though. Out of all the channels I’ve watched, I’ve found yours to be the most informative and by far the most accurate with the information you give. Thank you for that. It helps refresh my memory. Training was a LONG time ago.
Oh, one last comment. You telegraphed your switch under cover. I don’t know if you did that on purpose for the viewers or not.
best instructor , love the jacket
great practical advice Paul.
great video paul ,the jacket is cool to.
Shooting from one position, then moving to another position is actually a sniper tactic, but also is applicable to CQB. Cool video and useful info!
Great info, Paul - thanks!
Another great video.
