Gbal yes , wasn't it based on some kind of Mexican 'sport' but it uses steel silhouette's rather than live tethered animals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatzi Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Back in 2011 it was Diggle's 150th birthday and The Gun Pimp offered a 1000 yard egg shoot, winner takes £1000 prize. Very few people entered so it was cancelled. Maybe we should try again with a coke can TGP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Its great that he's contributing to the precision rifle community, any one on here made many informative videos to share? I don't like listening to Nick Clegg's speeches. Nor do I like listening to Cameron or Milliband. Is that OK, or must I try for parliament before I may venture that opinion? I don't like listening to the Sex Pistols, but I've never tried to make a record. The righteous indignation in this thread makes me chortle. A fellow known as 'Juba' did a lot of vids on pulling off tricky shots in difficult conditions........Google him and see if you like them......but do note that there's a lot of difficult shooting in Juba's videos , so please focus on the shooting element and don't venture an opinion on whether Juba's politics are to your taste. Not for a minute am I suggesting that this Fundamentalist hick falls into the category above.....but when some of you stop tripping over yourselves to be PC; perhaps it'd be worth remembering that part of 'free choice'; in fact, part of being intelligent, is 1. Being able to evaluate sources and 2. Being able choose whether we care to listen to them. Well done to this 101 chap for making money out of youtube. Good luck to him. But, when asked whether I like listening to 'quirky stuff' from a source of unknown provenance; I feel entitled to say 'No'. 'No I don't like listening to quirky stuff from a source of unknown provenance'. ....or should this thread have started with: 'Do you like these 101 vids? (Only answer if you're going to say 'yes'.)' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 yes , wasn't it based on some kind of Mexican 'sport' but it uses steel silhouette's rather than live tethered animals? Yes.Now sanitised,standardised,and with pro rata variations for pistols etc but the rifle basics are 5 shots offhand at each of: Chickens 13x11 (w/h)" at 200 Javelina 22x14 300 Turkey 19x23 385 Ram 32x27 500 They need to be knocked over to score,so quite a bit of clout (1200 ft lb for rams) so 308 class cartridge,about 8lb rifle. And yes,sometimes all 20 go down. Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I believe the sport of silhouette shooting had its origins in Pancho Villa's gang , who shot at the real things purely for fun. Its a great sport. I,ve shot it with scaled down targets for airguns and also .22 rimfires. Its incredibly difficult as all shots are taken standing.

terryh Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Yes.Now sanitised,standardised,and with pro rata variations for pistols etc but the rifle basics are 5 shots offhand at each of: Chickens 13x11 (w/h)" at 200 Javelina 22x14 300 Turkey 19x23 385 Ram 32x27 500 They need to be knocked over to score,so quite a bit of clout (1200 ft lb for rams) so 308 class cartridge,about 8lb rifle. And yes,sometimes all 20 go down. Gbal Bit off topic but: Actually 40 shots, 10 off each proportionally life size target, distances are traditionally in meters as it came from Mexico (one of the few things metric in US shooting), 1200 ft.lb not necessary and the 7-08 emerged from this sport. Apart from that good post Dave, indeed a really great sport, I shot it BPCR for a few years with the Youpon Creek club in Texas. It's not for all as it's either down or a miss so you score can can be pretty humbling shame we cannot shoot it here at the FB distance.
