Mind boggling stuff. I've tried all those shots with Brownings,
Winchesters, Remingtons, American Arms and a host of others. Didn't
work. Never realized how superior Benellis are. Gotta get one.

who wonders just how much a finely checkered persian walnut grip would
add to the cost of a double barreled, blued steel italian fly rod.

They may be great for shooting clays, but could you hit a duck with one?

Well, I've hit ducks with with sticks, golf clubs, bricks, garbage
cans, bowling pins, muffin pans, walnuts, lead pipes, a frozen cat,
automobiles, forks, rocks, TV trays, books and coaxial cable. Messy
business. Not sure I'd want to do it with a presumably very expensive
shotgun.

Not as easy as it sounds. For one thing, there's that whole
refractory index thingy.....makes it very difficult to lead them
properly. Besides, the first round pretty much puts the rest of the
fish down; time to move to the next pool. Lots of hiking and very
expensive, what with the cost of steel shot. And then, even when you
hit one of the blighters, what's left ain't fit for much but the meat
grinder and fish patties.

giles
a gallon of clorox and a nice net about a quarter mile
downstream......that's the way to go!

Just wondering if he could hit a duck, clays seem too easy.

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.....

who knows that it ain't the fiddlestick that catches fish......

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