for our folks who like to shoot off hand, here is a video for you ===> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPxloOlzmjA .... considering the distance, the wind, firing off hand, open sights, the fellow in this video is one heck of a shooter .... almost up to RR's standard ... ;)

That is great shooting, a Guide Gun Off Hand!
At 100 meters, many of those shots would have been in the black.

He had enough time to police his brass before impact!

years ago on several occasions while in South Dakota I fired some 200 to 500 yard rounds at a gallon jug out of our Redhawk 44 Mag ..... I came pretty close but never hit the jug .... what I enjoyed the most was experiencing the lag time between pulling the trigger and seeing the dirt fly where the bullet hit .... I was all set to do so again while out there in June/July using both the Redhawk and our Henry .... unfortunately, it simply didn't work out, hopefully it will next summer

Holy crap. Remind me to run a zig-zag.

with the way those mortar rounds were dropping it, just be sure not to zig when you should have zagged :?

The Trap Door test at Sandyhook used a 6 foot square target and a rifle rest.

He's not so much aiming the shot as launching it! The trajectory must look like a rainbow, but it's very good shooting to compensate for changing conditions.

That is some firepower. With a 45 Colt I'd have to shoot it, find it, reload the brass, then shoot it again...
