Assuming the video is undoctored (not unreasonable, given centuries of
reliable eyewitess reports of remarkable shooters), that was some
damned fine shooting regardless of circumstances. To be sure,
properly staged and shot video of hand thrown clays being shot to dust
appears more impressive than it would in person.....especially to
other accomplished shooters.....but still, I saw just one clean miss
that I'm reasonably certain of. That ain't half bad.

On the other hand, there is no good reason to suppose that the same
level of finesse could not be achieved with a Winchester, or a Yamaha
or a Chevrolet or a Baldwin or a Vivitar or an Underwood or a
Shakespeare or a Black and Decker or a Bic or a Ginsu or.....

Nothing short of brilliant - really impressive stuff. I think the miss was
when he tried to hit about 7 clays.
