And the bullwhip segment was cool - I found myself thinking - "I need to get one of those!!!"   ;D

I enjoyed the show, but don't know about the whip stuff.

I will say that a lot of the stuff they show, such as splitting the bullet to hit two targets, cutting a playing card in half, shooting backwards with a mirror,  long pistol shots, is all stuff I have done.

Maybe that means I have a more exciting shooting "career" than most folks!

I did like the inclusion of the M1A1 Abrams as an "expert marksman". I actually chuckled at first - after all, with the explosive power of their ordnance anyone can be an "expert" marksman! Then they showed the tank hitting (not exploding) a plywood target at almost 2 clicks - with a rookie just out of the simulator crew. Not too shabby.

The M1A1, with an experienced crew can hit a silver dollar at two clicks at about 40 mph...at least thats the way General Dynamics designed the fire control systems....

Never tried splitting a bullet to hit 2 targets, but I have tried the shooting over my shoulder with a mirror. I used a .22 semi auto rifle. (Note to readers, shoot over the LEFT shoulder, unless you like getting cases fed into your ear.  ;D  )

Grizzle Bear,
Was that you making an appearance on 'Cowboys' last Wednesday when they were at NCOWS? I think it was an older episode.

Let her set the timer  ;)  I can't wait to hear she recorded a documentary on global warming or the history of the bra or ...  ;D


I've got to see that show!  Everytime I see a whip demonstration I find myself saying the same thing.

Keep lipping off and I'll show you a whip demonstration...
