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.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

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...

What do I have to say?  Please tell me what to say!
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.
