It is impressive shooting. Fast target acquisition and follow up shots.

This video was posted a few days ago, but I like your link better.

That was a great video. Yes, he is a great shot and I am glad that bear chose to live.

Didn't see that one, I avoid face book like the plague.

I can't find any fault in that

That was the most incredible work done with a bolt action that I've ever seen.
He shoots almost like someone with a semi-auto, but with better accuracy and far greater power shooting a .300 Winchester Magnum.
Definitely glad that bear decided to turn at the last moment instead of requiring a defensive shot, which would have been a shame for her cubs.

Put a quality AR in his hands and watch the magic happen.

 

[churchmouse]

That was one of the smoothest actions I have seen. Amazing ability's.

Definetly, but mighty fine shootin!

There is nothing more satisfying than connecting cleanly with a moving target, not with a hail of bullets, but with one - because you saw it and your brain did the rest. That was some pretty smooth hitting going on. Did you watch how he holds the front of the rifle like a shotgun, and doesn't mount the gun to the shoulder until the shot is in progress? Wingshooting with a rifle - cool stuff!

Did anybody catch what he was using? I thought it said a Sauer in one frame, but it looked like maybe a Blaser in another one?

Wouldn't be near as awe inspiring if it was a semi-auto, but it would be cool

I thought it was a Blaser, too.
However, at the beginning of the video, it explains that he used two rifles.
The first was a Merkel Helix Custom chambered in 7x64.
The second was a Merkel Helix Explorer chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum.
I've barely heard of Merkel, but you can bet they're very expensive.
We both know how expensive a Blaser can get, though.

I'm familiar with Merkel shotguns, so yes, I'm guessing the rifles are pricey, too.

I'm not sure what they're still allowed to own over there, but no matter the situation, I've learned that when somebody shows up with a lightweight, plain-looking bolt action rifle without a bunch of crap hanging on it, and it has low-power optics - watch out, they probably know what they're doing.

I was bummed when they took "Running Target" out of the Olympics. That was a neat event, especially back when they shot it on a full range with highpower rifles, and before it got changed from a firearm event to a 10-meter air rifle event. I think I would have rather shot that than about anything else. To me, that, and possibly connecting with a fast-flying dove with a shotgun, are the most pure and satisfying applications of the marksmanship art I can think of.

Classic demonstration of pure Zen.

 

[BigBoxaJunk]

Not many can say they bring home the bacon..........and really mean it.

 

[BugI02]

Something viscerally satisfying about bolt action - like driving a manual transmission. Modern machinery can do it better but somehow without the same connection to the rifle for me. Wood and steel call to me like plastic never will. YMMV

 

[churchmouse]

The action was silk. Amazing work with a red dot.

 

[right2arms]

Nice looking rifle in the hands of a highly talented hunter. He switches between targets so quickly.

 

[Dr.Midnight]

That dude was pretty amazing. How many hours of practice does it take to be that good? How in the hell would you simulate hogs running through the woods like that so you could practice?

By shooting hogs running through the woods probably!?
