What

Additional areas are coming including precision shooting, dog handling, ammunition selection, documentaries, and more. These videos are available in either DVD format or as streaming video from the Panteao website. The streaming video is available via either a monthly or yearly subscription, in Standard or High-Definition.
Where
The Panteao headquarters is based out of Columbia, SC. The production crew are based out of Miami, FL.
When
Panteao was formed at the end of 2009. Video production commenced in July of 2010 and has continued ever since. As of September 1, 2011 we have fourteen video titles live on our site and on DVD with four more in post-production.
Why
Our goal is to provide a destination where you can receive the best training from the best instructors in their given areas of expertise. This ties back to the meaning of our name. Panteao is Portuguese for Pantheon, which means “a group of persons most highly regarded for contributions to a field or endeavor”. Our approach to the video content is a no nonsense, straight forward one-on-one training between the instructor and the viewer. It’s important to us that end users can absorb the information we are providing without any distractions. With more instructors being added and more titles coming from each existing instructor, we plan on growing the Make Ready series of instructional videos each month over the coming years.
