Had an awesome saying in the video too lol "Taking the gun off safe increases velocity by 100%"  :rofl:

Ryan vs. AlleyCats kid....must see TV

[Shug]

that is impressive

[Guest FIST]

That was sweet.

About the most impressive shot I've ever seen.

My first instinct was...fluke. Then I thought, you can't really say it's a fluke, he did exactly what he was trying to do.

Repeatable? Edited June 6, 2013 by BigK

Damn.

[RobertNashville]

I don't believe it; there were only 9 witnesses...a shot like that needs at least 10 witnesses to be true. ;)

If my estimation of the target size is close and my math is right, the angle difference between the top and bottom of the target at 1000 yards is basically 0.05 degrees.

1 shot + 1 hit = luck

 

2 shots in a row + 2 hits = extraordinary talent

 

His reaction led me to believe that he thought it was luck.

I agree with bigk, the intent on the shot was to hit the target and he did. Someone like me with zero training doing that would be luck.

He says plainly in the video that he shoots off hand with it all the time. While I'm not sure he could repeat it and be 2 for 2, I bet you money he could do it again. Luck would be you or I doing it.

Taking the gun off safe increases velocity by 100%.

 

That might be my new signature.

I once hit a 18"X12" steel silhouette target from 100 yds at a handgun class with my CZ P-01 shooting WWB ammo.

We gradually stepping back 20 yds at a time until we got to 100. A miss put you in the losers' circle. On day one I was out of the mix after the 60 yd shot. Only 1 student made it TO 100, but missed. On day 2, I made it to100 yds too, but we both missed. He hit on his next shot, but I needed 2 more shots to hit it. I still don't think my 3rd shot was luck.

On a side note, which is a more fair comparison: on day one I was whining b/c the instructor made me shoot DA, since I brought a SA/DA gun. At the end of the drill the instructor asked for my gun and proceeded to put his very first shot on target from 100 yds with my gun, which he'd never fired. I was floored and do NOT believe that was luck either.
