#TrickShots

For hunters and anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors, the sound of bucks sparring in the fall and winter is quite the enjoyable symphony.  From the light rattle of coastal blacktail to the baseball bat smack of moose, its great to listen to and even more enjoyable to witness.  Unfortunately, especially with whitetail deer, the combatants’ antlers can occasionally become locked together.  This unfortunate event carries a real risk of death via exhaustion.  The energy expended during hours of combat and panic, without being able to eat, drink, or rest, can and does cause otherwise healthy deer to die.

Normally we try to fill TFB with a cool photo of a firearm every day, but today is “greener” and different.

Gould Brothers, the famous exhibition shooters, published a video where they do a trick shot which is close to impossible. As you know, normally shooting clay pigeon targets is done with shotguns and at relatively close distances. What Gould Brothers did is really amazing. Not only they used a rifle (AR-10 pattern rifle by Alex Pro Firearms chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor) for this trick shot but also shot the flying clay target first at a 200-yard distance then stretched the range to 300 yards. Let’s watch this amazing video.

Jared Clawson aka @T1CS and Black Rifle Coffee filmed some spectacular footage. Jared performed some impressive trick shots involving guns and coffee. The 9mm Coffee Grinder was particularly impressive.

.22 Plinkster gets together with the Gould Brothers for a little trick shot shooting. .22 Plinkster is known for his remarkable marksmanship with .22LR firearms. I was most impressed with his trick shot of shooting a round and then shooting the brass that was ejected. The Gould Brothers are no slouches either to manipulating their shotguns.
