Thank for the info and links, guys. These look really good and the streaming option is welcome news.

Any updates here? I'm viewing the Paul Howe and Dave Harrington videos as must haves in the hard copy collection that I've got going and will likely sign up for the streaming service too provided it's at a decent price point.
These are top level guys who don't get a ton of internet exposure/publicity, and I can't tell you how great I think it is that this project is happening.
In his monthly newsletter in the beginning of the month, Paul Howe posted the following:
"CSAT Shooting Videos should be on line any day now. You can either order them as a DVD or stream them to your computer. Once you view them, if any questions arise that I don’t clearly answer, shoot me an e-mail. We are going to shoot an Advanced Tactical Pistol/Rifle shortly and will answer those questions during the filming as an infomercial."

The Panteao website is now live. When you have a chance, please stop by and take a look. Of the Paul Howe videos, the first one shipping is the Tac Pistol Operator. Shortly thereafter the Tac Rifle Operator will be shipping. Folks can pre-order them now. One thing for sure, they are going pretty fast.
I'm hoping that the streaming video portion of the website will be live by the end of the week. We are still uploading the videos to that section of the website. The files are huge so it takes a while.
I appreciate your support of the Paul Howe videos and we are looking forward to heading back down to TX to film additional titles with him.
Thanks for chiming in here Fernando. I cant wait to check out Paul and "Super" Dave's new videos.
Maybe it's just me, but previews need to be more than Shooting Porn. All the video previews (not just CSAT) have a ton of cool shooting scenes, but I think the average word count is somewhere around a half dozen. You don't get a feel for the instruction at all, nor the content.
It's not just you. While the production value is obvious, the trailers themselves haven't made me want to purchase the dvds.
(In fact, I hope they didn't get too fancy with the camera angles and trying to show off the shooting to the point that the instruction suffered. I prefer more old fashion teaching and less footage of guys with beards shooting, i.e. not another Magpul dvd.)

I'm not disputing he's about the fundamentals. However, it's probably safe to say he didn't have final cut of the trailer then. I suspect and hope he had more control over the final cut of the DVD.
I offer my thoughts to Panteao as constructive criticism for them to sell more DVDs, not to question Howe's teaching style. However, it wouldn't be the first time that a final product didn't match the creator's vision, which is why I'll wait for the reviews.
(One reviewer of Vicker's DVD was actually miffed that it was straight forward instruction and that there wasn't more footage of shooting, which just goes to show you can't please everyone. I might be in the minority wanting less flashy shooting from high def cameras and more instruction.)
