[@MAWA2024]

Please don't ever change your intro! It simply can't be improved upon. And thanks for carrying on the channel, you're doing great

[@ironblud]

Agreed. We all know it. It’s timeless!!

[@williewasahippie]

Yep! ☮

[@johnrobinson4445]

Hear! Hear!

[@wntu4]

Agree. It's a lasting memorial to him.

[@tomdelewski]

Respectfully, I think this is the exact attitude that Roy and his team have to avoid. We all want them to keep making the high-quality presentations they're known for, and that means they need the freedom to change whatever needs to be changed. Eventually, they'll have enough on-camera highlights of Roy that it'll make sense to re-do the intro with those, and when that happens they need to do it. That said, I'd both be shocked and question their judgement if they removed Paul from the intro completely.

[@marloc2019]

Love how Roy is steadily getting better and better on camera. A great way to keep up the legacy of our beloved Paul!

[@BryanIrvine]

Yeah I remember when Paul was young and bearded and a little rough at first too. He'll get there.

[@andrewmagee1666]

He's passed away

[@vincedibona4687]

@andrewmagee1666 We know.

[@BabaBlueJay]

It's cool to see Roy carrying on the show in his own way. I'm glad he is focusing on his strong suits, it gives us a different angle to the show.

[@hazelatino626]

If you are having trouble finding the dot to your pistol Holosun has a great red dot for pistols look up holosun acss. It's called a Vulcan reticle. It has a huge red dot circle and a middle dot. That guides you where your red dot is by putting the huge circle in the middle.

[@WinterInTheForest]

It will eventually obscure Paul's content in search results. The channel should have been left as it was when he couldn't make videos anymore.

[@theoriginalop]

@@WinterInTheForest Oh stop

[@britcom1]

Yes, I hope all the best for Roy and the production team for many years to come.

[@stardust_2339]

Roy stood up to a task that is almost impossible but I think he deserves the support. As he said himself multiple times, it's not about emulating or replacing Paul, it's about continuing what Paul believed in and that is being educational with a splash of humor. Roy is doing just fine and will get better each time he stands in front of the camera.

[@thischannelisbackon5679]

Most people don't like change, of any kind. I miss Paul, but this change is welcomed openly. I'm glad you're teaching us now Roy. People need to learn more than ever. Keep it up

[@alekhidell7068]

Speaking of learning, Paul had a big fan by the name of JM Rock, author of the book DeathBySocialism. I recommend the book

[@robkoons1891]

​@@alekhidell7068great book!

[@MattWaller04]

RIP Paul. Thank you for carrying the torch, Roy. Best wishes to the family.

[@dwayneroberts6616]

Roy I look forward to learning from you. No one is better qualified to carry on Paul's legacy than his brother. I'm very sorry for your loss Roy we who followed Paul are all hurting. You lost a brother but I hope you understand you gained a large family of people who love paul and you ❤

[@KungFuTweety1]

Roy carries on the show despite his pain and suffering, you and Paul are very brave people!

[@Bob-gy6ud]

Roy as you stated Paul hated scopes/optics and hardly used them thus never really covered them. The spirit of this channel is education. I’ve seen Paul shoot from cars, in bed etc on this channel. I think giving education on optics is outstanding. Also seeing as the shooting world is moving to optics the channel can help with optics and helping people decide and set up with/without co-witness, pop up on and offset. There’s a lot of material to discuss in optics as well as Paul would say “what works best for me”. R.I.P. Paul

[@Bob-gy6ud]

Another topic Roy that may be right up your alley (I’m assuming you’re a history guy) is going through older styles of shooting. I’m a firm believer just because a style is no longer used doesn’t make it worthless. Like single handed shooting, if 1 hand or arm is injured or not present for disabled viewers that topic would be relevant. Another style is how to use lanyards and slings another antiquated style that can be useful to some/any shooter that would rather have and not need than to need and not have

[@krashgamingandoutdoors1125]

"We're not going to talk about brands." The huge reason why I love this channel. You're not here to sell us something. You want to help us make better purchases. You guys are absolutely the best.

[@nmr6988]

1.Roy, really good info, thank you. 2. Please never change Paul's intro. It's the best on KZbin or anywhere else.

[@jameswarner3450]

Without caveat, Paul Harrell was a good man who lived a valuable life. I am glad my life intersected with his- even if only in this minimal online format.

[@StudSupreme]

Shatneresque pauses are apparently a family trait. 😊

[@SnakeSea]

This got a chortle out of me haha!

[@farmerdave33]

It's remarkable how similar the subconcious speech patterns of siblings can be. I haven't lived in the same house as my brother in 25+ years, but when I hear him talk, I hear the same subconcious speech patterns I hear in recordings of myself.

[@markp6062]

So, it wasn't just me who thought this. 😂😂

[@BigDrum]

I wonder if they got the 'Shatneresqe pauses' from their dad, mom, or just from watching a lot of old Capt. Kirk himself?! 😂 I would enjoy hearing some anecdotes about their folks. Their dad was clearly a respectable man, and I'd bet their mom was a very strong person as well.

[@kidkique]

When people make videos you are often instructed by the director or producer to talk slow and add pauses because at the end of the day people talk too fast when they're being recorded

[@britcom1]

I want to say that I really hope you guys are archiving all of Paul's KZbin videos in some format and location where they can't be deleted or lost and safe from degradation. I really don't trust KZbin or any cloud storage facility. I think some kind of physical storage format would be best, like BluRay Disc or something similar that will be able to handle the HD videos. Paul's videos should be required viewing for all new and active gun owners for generations to come.

[@Huck4014]

The full Paul Harrell collection! Now on DVD and blue ray! I'd buy it.

[@toastedt140]

A Paul Harrel Box Set would be on a lot of Christmas and Fathers day lists for sure.

[@alekhidell7068]

I would definitely buy the set!

[@RT-qd8yl]

We all need to make sure we archive these videos; much of the people running KZbin itself want them and guntubers as a whole gone.

[@adamhicks24]

Agreed

[@erck3800]

Love to see that Roy is getting more comfortable on camera and seems to be getting his feet under him. Keep up the great work gentlemen. Paul would be proud!

[@User-nx7rs]

Roy, my deepest condolences to you and your family and the crew for your loss. Paul will be missed.

[@DonnieAllenCooper]

RIP Paul and thank you.

[@tommylitchfield3450]

Mr. Roy, your intro about the Civil War scopes makes a great point about what a magnified sight can do. Many folks got a fatal surprise before people began to realize what a sharpshooter could do at incredible distances, even with a rifle with a trajectory like a rainbow. Great presentation!

[@KurtOnoIR]

Yes, id love to see some long range black powder guns or old optics. That'd be sweet. Maybe a cap and ball meat test or Springfield musket meat test too lol.

[@theironknight597]

​@KurtOnoIR Honestly a great idea would be an interesting video

[@tschopp23]

Roy, Sorry for your loss. I have enjoyed watching Paul over the years. He had a certain "old school cool" and the things he pulled out of the jacket was hilarious. Best of luck in the continuation of the channel.

[@chartreux1532]

As a German (well Bavarian, basically the Texas of Germany regarding Gun Ownership) and as a German Bundeswehr Veteran (23rd Gebirgsjägerbrigade) with 2 Tours in Afghanistan, 1 in Kosovo via KFOR and now helping train Ukrainians in Harsh Weather and especially Winter Combat - i just wanna say i really do appreciate Paul's Content over the Year! I think the first Video i watched and also shared with my former Squad Mates was the one about the Miami Dade Shooting, which was like 7 Years ago! We've all been hooked ever since, especially (i guess because we are stereotypical Germans) he's so "matter of fact" without any Exaggerations & other Stuff you'd add as a KZbinr to get more Views. What can i say, Stereotypes (at least about us Germans) are accurate. That said, we of course also enjoy the more "focus on Exaggeration and Entertainment" Channels. But Paul definitely stands out! We are all happy to see this Channel is being continued no matter what! So keep up the great Work! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

[@Mister_Belvidere]

The Miami-Dade video is a masterpiece. It's easily the best video on the subject I've ever seen.

[@chartreux1532]

@@Mister_Belvidere Exactly! after i watched that Video i looked into the Case and the IRL Footage. As a Combat Vet myself with Experience in Firefights and having "ascended" (lack of better word in english) to "Heeresbergführer" (rough translation: Military Mountain Leader) i still have to say that this Video especially made me not only realise but also learn about certain Scenarios i never ever learnt or thought of!

I miss Paul, however, I was VERY pleased to see a new video! Yes, I hate it wasn't Paul, but I'm glad to see the channel live on and will watch all videos and like them! Guarantee you that it's content he either thought of, or for sure approved!

[@paeden5431]

did he pass?!

[@Kaelland]

@@paeden5431 Paul and Roy have both said that until/unless Roy tells us that Paul has passed, Paul is still alive. Unfortunately, Paul does have pancreatic cancer, which is taking its toll on him, and he is often unable to make it into the field to produce videos. Roy has been kind enough to take over making videos for Paul's channel.

[@tristanwoody1492]

Thank you guys so much for honoring an continuing Paul's amazing legacy. An idea for a video I don't think Paul ever covered is the effectiveness of different types of cut shells, I can't speak for all the fans but I know I used to just listen to Paul's story videos on a tough day. Perhaps you could make some story videos of your own from your time as a LEO or general stories from your time in the shooting/hunting community for us to get to know you better, brother. Keep up the good work, and my sincerest condolences on the loss of your brother, he was beloved by us all.

[@BillA-pj4ze]

Great to see you keeping Paul's legacy going. He was a definite "like it is" no nonsense guy in his videos. Let your own style come out and don't worry about being like him to the gnats a$$ detail. True fans will understand that Paul was a one of a kind and appreciate it more.

[@farhan.naushad]

Always good to hear from you, Roy, and a big thanks to the crew for making these videos possible. Please keep sharing about Paul.

[@robkoons1891]

Roy, great video. I cannot imagine trying to shoot these videos during this difficult period of time. You can't replace Paul, but no one possibly could or would want to. But you can and will succeed and have similar success being genuine, sharing your knowledge, and just being Roy! Your knowledge and your integrity will ensure this channel continues success and will be a tribute to Paul.

[@muleteam66]

Thanks Roy for carrying on for Paul 🍻

[@raxit1337]

Much love Roy! Enjoying the content.

[@SpookbotTV]

Thank you for carrying the torch. Education for the next generation.

[@Trident023]

Thank you for upholding the legacy Roy. Something I wanted to share; A German news magazine published a very nice article on Paul's farewell video. The final paragraph read: "Neben der Verbreitung von Wissen war Harrell auch als leidenschaftlicher Aktivist für Waffenrechte bekannt. Sein Engagement und seine Integrität machten ihn zu einer respektierten Figur in der Community und einem Vorbild für viele." (I hope the translator can make sense of it. The publication is called "Focus" if you want to look it up) Your brother had a profound impact around the world, he will be missed and remembered fondly.

May God give you a peace that surpasses all understanding, Roy. Rest in peace, Paul.

[@MiClLC]

Much respect Roy, stay motivated!

[@britcom1]

You're doing great, Roy. Something you can do as far as topics go is to recreate some of Paul's older topics where the resolution was low with your new HD video equipment. This will give you more experience and help you continue to refine your skills as a presenter since you won't have to spend a lot of time thinking about what the topic will be. I would also like to say that I am impressed at how fast you are improving, Roy. I don't think I've seen a new host step in for video a presenter and learn the ropes so quickly. Great job! We want to see more!

And I know he started this wonderful channel, but he was and is not all there was to this channel. Are you Paul?…. No! BUT!!!!!…. You are his brother! You and he were brought up under the same upbringing. You have a different view and a different set of skills to bring to the table. But you have the same core beliefs and principles….

Thanks for doing this Roy. I have many scopes and red dots, however, it was Paul’s videos that taught me to go back to basics and start using irons, again. I now prefer to use Iron sights for 80% of my shooting, and am proficient to 200+ meters with my hunting rifle using only irons. Great for quick target acquisition, and hasn’t failed me yet! Also, if you have stigmatism, a red dot becomes a red squiggly thing. God bless you and your family.

I wondered if I had it because it's not a perfect crisp circle, but I'm also closer to 40 and don't wear glasses, so that could be just age. Doesn't appear squiggly to me though.
