Yes it was. Cool to see he's out there taking classes and is more than just a TV host.


I believe he is part owner of Texas Triggers with other people in his family. There is a promo video for them that shows everything they have there... They have most of the challenges from Top Shot.

Wow
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

it's not that hard to fire that barrett offhand. hell, i've done it. i even hit something with it too! not my target, but hey, what's the difference, right?





that video was amazing. seriously, amazing. i'm not sure that effing EPIC fully encompasses what he did
saying that guns kill people is like saying that spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat.

:lol:


100% increase in velocity = doubling the velocity.

So, what he actually said is "taking the gun off safe doubles the velocity". :lol:

You do know that there is no "LAW" against them not showing the times that he missed, right?
I'm not saying that he missed before this or after this or that he didn't. I don't know and I'm not going to claim that it was "just a lucky shot".
What I am going to claim is that showing him do that 3 times in a row unedited would be cool.

Since we're going to pick nits here, the velocity before he takes the gun off safe is 0. Increasing the velocity by 100% gives you a final velocity of....

0

I've held off from posting on this one because I was going to call it "bullcrap", but IF:
Gun was sighted in at 1000 yards and shown to be capable of producing a small group,
And the DUDE shooting it was much bigger than me (obviously in better physical shape),
And there was no wind to deal with at extended ranges,
IT COULD BE DONE, and I would like to see three shots in succession to prove its not a fluke.

IT COULD BE DONE.

I think even the shooter would describe it as a bit of a lucky shot. He said sure, he could fire it standing up, but he's not gonna hit anything at 1000yds.

But on the other hand -- his strength, training and skill had to play a part in that 'luck'. Its unlikely that (if I could even shoulder the thing properly) I would make consistent hits at 100yds, much less 1000.

Consistent at 1000. Neither could he, sholdering it. (Now, after you get a scope that can measure wind at various points along the way etc and make all the calculations and tells the gun to hold the hammer back until you have it pointed where it whould be, that could change...)

Love the gong smack at the end! Especially considering 12 gauge slugs at about 65 yards didn't smack it that hard.
