Ray Helm knows his guns, and rightfully so, as he's been a Texas Peace officer for some time now. And with Texas being the gun toting capital of the western world, he's at the top of list of experienced handlers. In this lesson, he takes you through a cursory explanation into shotgun cleaning and maintenance.

Before I watched Ray, I would have had no clue as to how to clean a shotgun. He does a very good job at very methodically taking you through the simple steps and explaining why you're doing each task. He clearly knows what he's talking about. The lesson would make a good companion to buying any after market gun cleaning kit.

Only comments for potential improvements: 1. I think in one of his other videos made a disclaimer around the fact that you should only be doing this if you are already trained and compfortable with gun safety. I think a similar caution here would be good. 2. The outdoor setting wes nice, but it did hamper sound a little bit. not enough to detract, but noticeable.

Good lesson!
