Lol, he is entertaining but very dry and monotone. Some of his videos remind me of safety videos from work. 

I think he’s quite funny and has a lot of whit in his talks... some good humour. 
 

Also unlike a lot of self proclaimed YouTube experts, Paul appears to have walked the walk, being involved in more than one self defence shooting. 
 

Although someone who repeatedly gets into armed confrontations that much is either a magnet for trouble for looking for it 👀 but that’s not the point!

 

 

 

I always found his shooting videos good, makes sense and sound advice.

He’s brilliant, knowledge and actual skill combined, when you watch videos of subjects that aren’t particularly relevant to our everyday experiences he still has the knack of explaining things in an easy to comprehend manner. There are a dozen or so truly good presenters out there and he’s easily top 3.

I have a lot of time for his videos - a breath of fresh air compared to the 30 something blokes with beards telling you that you need a bug out bag, don't need a bug out bag, that a .223 is all you need, that you need more than just a .223, that you should buy one reliable gun, that you should buy 5 guns in case each one fails, and how understanding firefight tactics will get round the fact that most people watching are likely to be untrained and unfit with a fetish for tactical vests.

His recent take down of a chap who had a go at him was wonderfully executed. While he doesn't have videos of shooting prison toilets or slicing the pie I think he has a lot to offer in actual information rather than just opinions.

I think from his background of teaching military marksmanship from his time in the marines/army national guard gives him a good standing to teach from.

That take down of the guy that slighted him was so good it made the young fella look like such a fool. There was another guy he used to routinely rip the bag out of for his phrases about "home invasion" 

When he says about being involved in a couple of "citizen involved shootings" I did some digging and managed to read a local Oregon news article on one of the incidents....hard to get to because of the euro GDPR an all that but turns out some guy tried to run him and his wife over at a camp site and he took the guy out by the roots by shooting into the pick-up truck.

Paul Harrell and "bloke on the range" would be the only real YouTube 'personalities' I would watch regularly. The others being the likes of TGS outdoors and Fieldsports tv.

Yes, I believe he was acquitted on the grounds of self defence. The other story was one he has a short and long version for - basically he was out hunting jackrabbits with a friend and some blokes pulled up nearby and started shooting. When they figured out these guys weren't just being reckless they scarpered and never found the culprits.
