Are you up to it?? Holy Smokes.

Are you up to it?? Holy Smokes.

If YOU, as a Beeg Bore enthusiast are amazed, (You did say, "Holy Smokes") I'm plumb flabbergasted.

Honestly, I would not have thought it possible to recover from the recoil so fast. And, SA no less.

I wonder what Andy, can so with his DA 460s.

Good accuracy, even at 5 yards, IMO. BTW, how long do it take for Mr. Bar to cover 5 yards?

All, in all, I nearly certain I'd be better off with a leetle less bang.

My ten and fifteen yard bouyball pull through the legs does not look that relaxed at all..Use a 12" bouyball pulled fast by hand and try to get six shots off before it dumps ya. Three hits a good score,seen five hits only once with the full power 454. The 44 and 45 are much better for this game but six hits is still hard to come by.

D/A I can put 5 390g at 1400fps in a paper plate at 5 yards somewhere about that fast but prefer to go a tad slower and aim more . . . they tend to go low with speed, guns passing the target before I can work the action. Must admit that I'm quite a am quite a bit faster with my trusty rusty 357 Blackhawk.

Practice, practice, practice. All it takes is a goal, time, ammo, and dedication.

What he said. But I'm still impressed. It was difficult for me to tell, were most of those guys hitting in black with those shots? That last guy shoots as fast as most folks with a 9mm. Makes me think about a SA Ruger 44 rather than a DA.

BTW, if someone has a SA 454, we can all get together and do this as an homage to the Ice Bucket Challenge on Facebook. Each person challenges 3 friends (on film,) then shoots their 5 rounds. Post it on Facebook. Whoever owns the pistol can buy the ammo. =)

I think I'll practice with my Single Six.

Less exciting, but also less painful, and less scary.

OK, that's impressive.

Every time I tried to shoot my 357 fast, the bullets went all over the place. Hopefully, all in the same general direction, though.

I am about to make history with your 7mm RM. I'll fill you in later.

I've had that Blackhawk near about all my life and put more rounds through it than anything ever, its like a part of me. I can learn other guns but the ones I learned when I was young are still the ones that feel, point and aim most natural to me . . . isometric grip and that 357 falls right back onto a close target fast as I can calk the hammer.

[MarineHawk]

Max and I are friends. He lives and works nearby. In another session, he got his time down to 2.9 sec. He's the real deal. I've seen him hit beer cans at 100 yds offhand with his big bores. He just killed a water buffalo last month in Argentina with his Ruger SRH .480. I wish I could bring him along as my bodyguard on my bear hunt. Good guy, and, of course, a former Marine.

[Amigo Will]

We all all still Marines.Heck I still got Marine I.D. to get on bases.

Agreed Amigo. Semper fi. I just have to use some word to distinguish myself from the guys currently doing all the heavy lifting.

It does, seem to indicate that one is NOT handicapped by choosing a SA over a DA. (Which seems to be the normal thinking.)

Wah, h, h, h, hoo. (Rebel Yell)

[Armymark]

Unless one can oh use one hand.

[Smitty of the North]

Unless one can oh use one hand.

Well, you can use only ONE hand and shoot SA.

What am I missing here?
