Shootaway sent me this video and asked if I could post it up on the forums. I put it here because I believe its his 300 RUM (?).

Here ya go Shootaway...




Cheers,

Crap. Something seems to have goofed up with it when I loaded it to Photobucket (the video stops and loops again while the audio continues normally)...

Will play with the format and try again tomorrow.

Fixed, I think.

Thanks Canuck. In this video I am shooting a Remington model 700 VLS, with a 30 inch Palma Krieger barrel, chambered for the 308 win.As you can see it is taking me some time between shots.That's because I am shooting for bullseye at 200yds with a triiger that is heavier than any of those on my hunting rifles.Now that I got my Lott,I look forward to making a similar video with that.

You answered my question! I was just going to ask how long the barrel is as it looks bloody long!

Now, what did the target look like?

Ummm, fascinating video but really, I'd like to see the target. Anyone can stand there and fire off a few rounds, am I supposed to be impressed? It isn't the length of the barrel you know, its how you use it. Unless there are compensation issues of course.

I'd like to see the video of the .458 thank you.

Until then, I've seen this a thousand times at the range. (where is that yawning emoticon now...)

Don't forget the helmet.

Well........it kind of like watching a woman take a shower through the shower curtain....whats the point, in other words where is the target?

I must have thrown the target away.I just thought it was a good idea to video myself shooting and then again on a later date to see if there is any progress in my techinique.So,enjoy this ARTISTIC showing of shooting the rifle offhand.

Shootaway, You are just too weird to describe................................DJ

Looks like you handled the rifle pretty well!

ARTISTIC?

Just curious, how did the target react at the CRACK of the shot?

no helmut? no mallet?
it aint shoo thataway

The intro with the rifle setting there alone then the shooter walking into the scene and picking up the rifle was very "dramatic".
Maybe add some AC/DC music.

5 shots in 40 seconds. 25 seond break to reload. Another 5 shots in the next 40 seconds. How many times did you do this?

Didn't know target shooting was also a Special Olympics discipline. jorge

Excellent!

Any more since we seem to have him where we want him?

When waiting for some action, I thought someone had accidently caught more evidence of the existance Bigfoot.

I watched the video again after reading everyones comments and this time with no volume and, could just be me but I got the CREEPY in serial killer fashion vibe....

Wonder how many rounds he'll get out of that barrel before it's burned out...... 6 or 8, perhaps??

Nah, come on now -- at least a dozen........

that was a fine piece of art. And the technique, although not flawless, was very impressive. I'll assume that the bullets all went through the same hole?

I still think the helmet would have made this into a masterpiece. Truly.

I wonder if shooting in the cold like that makes barrels wear out faster or slower? I know steel gets soft when it is heated so maybe shooting in the snow decreases wear.

Perhaps someone could prove this point...
