TargetTalk

Christmas No. 1 2010?

And he's got a whole album of shooting-related goodness here.

Cool video! Thanks for the link, Hemmers!

more like he likes to blow things up. where's the target guns if he really likes em, eh? %^D

The bald guys shoot fast and blow things up video is not the best image for us sane gun owning target shooting athletes in my opinion. Some of those things are well beyond just guns.

Being somewhat of a novelty track, I think he's going for mass market appeal rather than the attentions of a few ISSF shooters :)

He seems to have a fair few hunters and collectable muzzle loaders propped up in the background in addition to the military rifles and pistols.

Nothing wrong with shooting disciplines other than ISSF courses. Sports rely on their grass-roots, and shooting would be in a poor position if the only shooters were doing ISSF courses. Variety is the spice of life. I love doing English Matches. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy chilling out and spraying rounds at a target with a semi-auto from time to time, at christmas fun shoots, etc.

Malcolm Cooper (multiple Olympic champion) took his knowledge of target sports, and the quest for ultimate accuracy and applied it to combat rifles, which are now used globally by military and law enforcement groups.

I guess I have to agree with you, Jack; I/m 56 still have hair and I'm not a very good "fast" shooter. He doesn't represent me, however, I don't look at this as a documentary. The guy is having fun and trying to sell his videos and/or trying to make it in the music world. I look at the video as fun and entertainment. I applaud him for saying he will shoot no one and no one will shoot him because he "has a gun." Shooting interactive vegetables or fruit instead of man silhoutte targets says a lot about the image he is projecting to the non-shooting public. I applaud his voice, lyrics, and his artistic genius.

I did notice, not all of his hits were in the "10 ring."

I am a target shooter and particularly like issf shooting but I think you folks worry too much. Looks like a fun guy to spend a day with to me!

Thanks for the link Hemmers. I totally enjoyed it.

of all the guns i like most the blowgun because it is a simple weapon but can capture wildlife with the help of tranquilizer darts.

I agree with Jackh.There is,also, too much on UTUBE that shows what some irresponsible moron/retards will do with firearms just to get a chuckle.How about "Drunk woman firing powerful pistol"-which,of course,hits her in the face.How about 85lb 10 year old firing a 50 Cal BMG rifle- with lots of yuks- of course?? Can you imagine what the viewing public must think of people who have an intrests in firearms?? What scares the hell out of me- is that sooner or later these as*holes will probably be involved in a firearm tragedy and more laws/regulations will be dreamed up to prevent this sort of thing-and to top it off-there isn't a damn thing responsible gun owners can do about the situation.

Amen to that Ernie. But that's why we have to keep holding basic training classes, "Women on Target" sessions, work with Boy Scouts, etc.

Lighten up, Francis.

The last 30 seconds are the best. I'd love to shoot an RPG. Seiously, that looks kick ass.

But ol'' Steve needs some serious update of his handgun grip technique.
