Holy Crap that guy needs to cut back on more than caffiene.  Wow, He is obviously nervous, but I have seen people on meth that talk slower and more focused.   :D

   sounded fine to me,, put me in front of a camera that is going to go world wide. and Im not sure I could talk as good as he does,   what he said made a lot of sense to me, but maybe that's because im a old guy to.   Im in a group of people on a web site, that is mostly about the military and guns.  most make fun of many of the online posts of some instructers,, one that comes to mind, is instructor zero..  Ive watched a few of his videos,
    most of them almost demand that you must do it exactly as they tell you to. that only there way is right,, I shoot pretty much what you would call old school..  I shot IPSC for many years, and still shoot the same way . you just shoot the way that best suits you ,,
  I like this guy, but anyone tought by Cooper  is best in my book,

That is a guy that I could talk to. Folks that talk slow and pause a lot are very difficult for me to stay with.

School was like  torture for me!

That's "pissed off" Clint.  Somebody apparently got under his skin.  I'm guessing someone feels his course of instruction is outdated or insufficient and he didn't take kindly to it. 

Anyone who has attended one of his classes will tell you he's a high energy, rapid fire kinda guy.  His first morning lecture will grab your attention and leave you wanting more.  And yes, it's done at a rapid pace. 

He's not going to teach you how to jump out of flaming helos.  He will teach you how to run a gun and defend yourself with it.

A clip from a typical morning with Clint:

I believe one of the people he called out was Chris Costa.  40K german shepherd was the hint.
