I asked a fellow IPSC competitor Peter Montgomery, who I know uses DAA Theatre about how he was using it and what he thought about it. Peter has been competing in local competition. In 2011 he has decided to start competing on the European IPSC match circuit. This year he plans to attend the Med Cup, SVI Open and World Shoot. This is what he told me about his thoughts on DAA Theatre.

“I have been subscribed to the DAA Online theatre now for several months. I have found it to be a very powerful training tool, as there are the both match and coaching videos available. I have been shooting practical pistol now for over ten years locally here in Northern Ireland, and this is the first year I have decided to go abroad to some of the big matches in Europe such as the Med Cup and the SVI match. I have been using the DAA Theatre for researching the kinds of challenges that I am likely to encounter at these higher level matches. For example, I have noticed that there are a lot more in the way of activated targets (swingers etc) than one would encounter in local matches here, and I have been able to adapt my training regime accordingly. I have also found the coaching videos such as 3GM and its sequel, 3GM2 to be full of great information that has enabled my to boost my performance considerably.

The only problem I had was one Sunday afternoon. I was watching 'Tactics Of the 2007 US Nationals' Video, and it cut off prematurely. I emailed DAA expecting I would get a reply some time the following week, but to my surprise I received an email roughly an hour later from Eli Huttner, telling me the problem would be fixed by lunchtime tomorrow. Sure enough, I received an email Monday morning, informing the video was fixed. Customer service like that I have found to be very rare.

At 29.95 for a years subscription I think this represents tremendous value for money, as this gets you unlimited access to the  entire catalogue of DAA videos most of which cost between 25 and 45 Euros each on DVD.”

On average DAA produce two to three DVD titles per year, which are worth over 25 Euro each. DAA will also add numerous numbers of coaching clips and tutorials throughout the year. They also plan to add appropriate third party DVDs in the future. You can combine watching the training tutorials with dry firing practice at home and then go to the range and put what you have learnt into practice with live firing training. If you have internet access at your range you can combine the same tutorials with actual shooting practice.

DAA Theatre is a very good way of offering the IPSC community an easy way to access IPSC related DVDs with a few clicks of a button. Within minutes you can view the best IPSC, USPSA, Steel Challenge, coaching and many other DVDs available on this site. Subscribed members get unlimited access to the entire DVD selection while free members can view the free movies and training tutorials.

In 2003 DAA produced their first competition DVD. Since then they have brought over 20 IPSC productions to the shooting community, including the official Match DVDs for the 2005 and 2008 World Shoots and several USPSA National Championships. Saul has recently produced new coaching DVDs, bringing you his own teachings, plus those of top shooters and coaches like Max Michel and Angus Hobdell in 3GM, 3GM2, and DAA coaching DVDs, Master Class Series. All of these DVDs are available on the Double Alpha Theatre website.

So there you have it. DAA Theatre is a means to enable to see all the action at the top level matches. The training tutorials make it seem like you are getting personal training from top level competitors like Saul, Angus and Max and all of this is only a few clicks away on your computer. I have found the competition videos very enjoyable and the training tutorials very informative; as I am sure that you will also be as impressed as I was.
