oowee Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Saw this bore on youtube number two looks like the shooter swings across others to shoot. Never quite sure with perspective on these things but this looks dodgy to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Supersport04 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Whilst it definitely doesn't look safe, i can imagine it would be great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 It is what it is. They're shooting fast moving ground game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TONY R Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Duno if its safe or not, but i would not mind a go at it. May be not with those same blokes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Would not fancy it myself but these guns are I think tested far more than we are here in order to obtain a hunters license. Its what they are used to, certainly they are all decent shots and hit pretty hard probably with a 30 cal or bigger. I can see why straight pulls are getting popular for that job, I was looking for a vid of a guy using a straight pull shooting 9 bore in about 60 secs when I came accross this. 30 seconds or so in, driven fox, what a shot that is !!, with a rifle. rest of this vid is not to my taste, This bloke knows which end to hold and which to point, A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 This chap is truly off the end of the shooting scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've seen this bloke shooting before. He is like a robot machine. How he selects the targets running through the trees is unbelievable. Back the motor up boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie&bezza Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Seen those before and am still can't make my mind up what is more impressive. The fella shooting boat in the second vid or the video of the chap shooting pigeon out of the sky with a bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Both! Seen those before and am still can't make my mind up what is more impressive. The fella shooting boat in the second vid or the video of the chap shooting pigeon out of the sky with a bow. The track in the last clip is littered with pork.

kent Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 It is what it is. They're shooting fast moving ground game. Pardon? Swinging through will see you removed from a shoot regardless of what the quarry does its not forgivable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 We need to recognise that in the UK we don't like running quarry shot with rifles but it's not quite so hard as it can look It does however take practice and confidence lead is significantly less than shotguns but obviously depends on angle. Just like shotgun your brain soon learns the right picture and tells the trigger finger the news We need to recognise that in the UK we don't like running quarry shot with rifles but it's not quite so hard as it can look It does however take practice and confidence lead is significantly less than shotguns but obviously depends on angle.

robbiep Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've no issue with people shooting running game. But in the shot in question, he was almost certainly 'swinging through' the next man up the line before taking his shot. So he had his rifle momentarily pointing directly at another person, most likely with his finger on the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Pardon? Swinging through will see you removed from a shoot regardless of what the quarry does its not forgivable Over here yes, I would agree, but they do some things differently on the continent.....hence 'It is what it is.'

Scully Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Anyplace I have never shot continental Europe but if that occurred and wasn't acted on I shouldn't be staying or paying That's how I see it; if you're not happy then don't participate. It's down to the individual as to what they are/are not prepared to accept. It wouldn't put me off going however. Like I said; they do things differently on the continent.

fortune Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've watched that clip several times and when the shot was taken the target was well behind the line in its angle. I can't see which gun actually took the shoot. I believe that it was the gun on the other side of the next in line. You can just see him standing on the left of the bloke on the shooting stick. If it was this gun that did shoot then the angle to the rear would have been greater. There is no visible evidence that I can see that anyone swung through the line or had a finger on the trigger. Seeing as whoever took the shot put one bullet right in the engine room in such a short distance They are obviously very skilled and confident in taking on the shot. If we had this kind of game over here this kind of shot would be commonplace. I've been on driven boar shoots and when it happens It is quick and sometimes unexpectedly close like the first and the fifth shots on that clip. I've been on fox drives here that I have looked for an oak tree to stand behind as protection from some shooters that get a bit excited although I've never seen anyone peppered but I've seen several faulty situations where I have given the offender a few words such as I am going to insert their gun up their rudder If they point their gun in my direction again.

kent Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I used to shoot with hounds every week never seen anyone swing through did see bad gun handling though in other regards I didn't watch the clip.just responding to Scullys comment We must never except bad handling no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I didn't watch the clip.just responding to Scullys comment How can you comment on the handling when you haven't seen the clip? Go back to post #1 and click on the blue word >>>THIS. watch the 2nd shot where they are standing on a roadway and the boar comes out and is shot on the bank behind. there's some cracking shooting in the clips. We must never except bad handling no matter what That's a fair enough comment and there can be no exceptions. I think that prince Charles got a going over for shooting after the horn on one occasion.

owain Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 They should probably build concrete pill boxes for the guns to stand in just incase. Boar have been shot like this for years, I know in places like Lithuania hunters have to be part of a club and are very heavily tesed before being given a licence to hunt. At the end of the day it looks like great fun, the guys look like very competent shots and I'm sure if anybody was being unsafe they would be kicked off the shoot. And in reality, what's life without a bit of risk thrown in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried a few time on running man targets on the ranges its not easy. Some of these guys have serious skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
