Rem223 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I spotted this video of some long range shooting posted on Youtube and wondered if I am the only one who thinks shooting over the heads of live stock is a dubious practise. I can't fault the accuracy, but I would personally find somewhere a bit less crowded to indulge in such activity. I would have thought a target range would be a more appropriate venue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSLuPi6OQ6w...feature=channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 The livestock that he shot over was I thought well clear. What I didn't like about the video was the livestock behind and to the right of the target; what would have happened if he had of got a ricochet?

monkeymagic1969 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) I have shot there and believe me that rock face behind the target is over 6 foot high and the bullet will disintegrate on contact with either the target, rock face or ground, so no chance of a bullet going anywhere near to those furry little ******* Edited January 30, 2010 by monkeymagic1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 It's not a ricochet I'm worried about, it's an incorrect windage reading. 1500 yards with that is a hell of a long way, and those sheep (?) could have been hit had the shot not gone to plan. The guy is clearly a very good shot, but personally I wouldn't have taken that shot without the sheep being someplace else. As for shooting over the others, not got a problem with it.
