Thursday, September 22nd, 2011Mako Defense has released a new DVD entitled, “ISRAELI SPECIAL FORCES TRAINING: COUNTER TERROR CARBINE.”
This DVD parallels current live training being conducted by Mako Defense and demonstrates the “Israeli Method” of fighting which revolves around the concept of using speed and accuracy to quickly neutralize any threat, while protecting bystanders. The DVD is intended to give LE officers pointers for working alone, with a partner, or in a team, to the sharpen the skills of military combatants, and enable civilian shooters to become more competent in every aspect of using their tactical rifles for home defense as well as shooting sports.
In a press release, Addy Sandler, CEO of Mako Defense relayed, “We are pleased to make this excellent fighting and self-defense method available to more people in the United States.†“Our live-fire courses fill up fast, and we often have law enforcement and military personnel attending on their own time, along with a great many civilians who are passionate about shooting and understand the need to develop expert home defense techniques. While not a substitute for live interaction with our Israeli instructors, our DVD courses will enable everyone to understand how to utilize the Israeli Method of fighting to make themselves and their loved ones safer.â€

Prior to that he developed the Woolrich Elite Series line of tactical clothing and founded Triton Cartridge, an ammunition company in NY. Rick Bravo is the VP of Panteao and Director of Photography. Rick also works for the Miami Dade PD. Prior to that Rick worked in the motion picture and television industry, including as a camera man on the television series Miami Vice.
What
Panteao produces instructional videos covering tactical training, competitive shooting, armorer’s training, and home defense. Additional areas are coming including precision shooting, dog handling, ammunition selection, documentaries, and more.

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.

BHI Outdoors has announced a new course. The Big-Game Hunter Prep Course is designed to introduce you to the skills needed to increase your confidence and practical marksmanship skills, and help ensure you don’t come back home empty handed.

Much like BHI Outdoors’ tagline “Combat Inspired – Field Proven”, this one-day program is based on many of the skills and competencies BHI teaches in their military-oriented sniper and marksmanship courses. Instructional modules include ballistics, proper zeroing of your hunting rifle, shooting form, range calculation, stress shooting, and shooting known/unknown distance targets from various positions.
For more information call BHI Outdoors at 304-457-1280.
