I'm sure they got tired of getting called out by, as Vickers put it, "Laser printer repair men". It's a shame. Guys like that brought a lot to the site. Yep. Every one is a bad ass when they are on a keyboard. I like Haley maybe some day I will take a class with him. They're so badass that some dipshits on an internet site scared them off. Respect.

I own a couple of his rifles. Does that count for something? View Quote I was in the shop one day when he received an item I believe he traded a couple lowers to you for... He told me what he traded, then you started a "what's in the box from Haley" thread. Jealous, I am...of both. |

Ok....How many target rich environments has Vickers been in? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes with all due respect, i hope you's trollin... from his website... I have been very fortunate to have had the distinction of serving my country with some of the most elite military units to ever exist. This experience has literally made me who I am today and has had an immeasurable impact of every facet of my personal and professional life. I spent over 20 years in the US Army with my entire career in Special Operations. The last 15 years in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta, commonly referred to as Delta Force. Prior to that my time in the Army was in Special Forces, including 5th, 1st, 11th (reserve) and 10th Special Forces Groups. I retired as a Master Sergeant.
The high point in my military career was when I was one of 23 members of Delta Force who rescued CIA operative Kurt Muse from Modelo Prison in Panama City, Panama. This mission initiated ‘Operation Just Cause’ and is the first successful hostage rescue operation in modern US military history. This operation has been cloaked in secrecy for nearly two decades. So much so that few inside the US military or even the Spec Ops community even knew about the mission. The veil of secrecy has been lifted with Kurt Muse releasing a book about the rescue mission and his ordeal in Modelo Prison. The title of the book is ‘Six Minutes to Freedom’ from Citadel publishers. It is co-written by John Gilstrap. Be advised to protect individuals still in US Government service many of the names in the book have been changed. I did many things I am very proud of in service of my country but without doubt I am most proud of my participation in ‘Acid Gambit’, the code name for the Modelo Prison rescue operation. In addition to Panama, I saw service in Desert Storm, Somalia, Bosnia and other places on operations and activities that remain classified. In addition to my time as an assaulter in Delta Force, I spent time in weapons research & development where I initiated several products in use in Spec Ops today (see my products development page) and served as a combat marksmanship instructor training new operational members of Delta. In fact I have trained more Delta and Tier One operators in combat marksmanship skills in the past than anyone in US Special Operations history. This is an accomplishment I am particularly proud of as Delta has earned a reputation second to none in the military shooting arena. I am proud to have contributed to that reputation in a positive way. Some of my military schools and awards are as follows: Operator Training Course Special Forces Qualification Course Special Forces Military Freefall Course Special Operations Target Interdiction Course (SF Sniper School) Airborne School Infantry Advanced Individual Training Jumpmaster School Military Freefall Jumpmaster School and numerous other military schools and courses. Awards and badges include: Bronze Star with ‘V’ device for actions in Panama Joint Service Commendation medal with ‘V’ device for actions during Desert Storm Defense Meritorious Service Medal Meritorious Service Medal Combat Infantrymans badge Military Freefall Badge Special Forces Tab |

The difference between Travis and Chris is that Travis developed his own hit, not just sold his name.

My point was Vickers is an arrogant,egotistical, and loudmouthed douche that had a long career... the majority of it peacetime. Haley's military career may not have been as long but he was in well into GWOT, and then blackwater for a bit after that. When your biography reads "In fact I have trained more Delta and Tier One operators in combat marksmanship skills in the past than anyone in US Special Operations history", and refer to your self in third person as "The LAV" while calling people online printer repairmen at a point in time when you cant see your dick past your gut.... it's pretty obvious you're a pompous ass. Vicker's served in a couple of low intensity conflicts. Hence my comment Haley has probably killed more people in one youtube video than Larry Vickers did in his entire career. Because in all likelihood its the truth, delta or not, just sayin. Haley is a lot more humble about it than the "Quiet Professional"(hard to say that with a straight face) Mr Vickers is too. |

Haley is one of the few instructors I pay attention to, and just about the only "tactical" instructor I like (the other instructors I like focus more on fundamentals and other aspects).
Just about everything I've seen by Haley is extremely professional, very well thought out and presented in such a simple manner that you feel like kicking yourself for not coming up with it. He also understands that things change over time, and doesn't try to stick with the same thing over and over but tries to improve and actively try new things, generally turning contemporary ideas on their heads. I might sound like a fanboy, and I am , but it's hard to deny that the guy is brilliant. Haley isn't for the guy who thinks Lenny Magill's "Mastering the AR-15" is top of the line training |

Haley has become a little over the top but I think he's just pushing to try to find small niche information or instruction that separates him from the pack. I have noticed that a lot of his instruction or promo videos have shifted a little more towards the competition shooting realm. I say that because they all seem to just highlight how quickly he can put rounds on targets at 5-10yards. Also noted that that kind of video might just get people excited - much like benchmarking or dyno'ing a fast car - so it showcases and creates a buzz.

Ever wonder why Costa's weapons manipulation training classes are called "theories"?

Much respect for Haley I hope to take some courses from him this year if my schedule permits. Been there bad ass types like Travis Haley, Paul Howe, etc are the people I want to learn from.
