Impossible Shots

[GreyWhiskers]

A guy from another BP forum mentioned that he will be featured in a Shooting USA television special called "Impossible Shots." It runs Wednesday, Aug 19th on the Outdoor Channel. Not sure what he does but he'll be using a flinter.

I JUST SAW IT........It put to rest ANY question of BP Rifles being in-acurate or slow or ANYTHING.

This guy had a laid back attitude, and showed us how you do it...RIGHT.
From using the horn to load a pre-measure to cutting of the patch at the muzzle.

Distances shot looked to be 40ish yards shooting charcoal tied to strings.....DAMN :shocked2: .

Made the hairs on my neck stand to attention.

BP / Flinters Rule :thumbsup:

Great public relations.

Yeah, I watched it last night. The guy did a great job of presenting flintlocks and history. And he's a great shot too. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: GW

He has been on for a couple weeks now. This is great for our sport, maybe a few more people will pick up on the fun. :thumbsup:

Saw something very similar on the outdoors channel where the gentleman with the flintlock cut the card in half on his first shot. Then the host/"great shot" couldn't with three shots from his "modern" black powder rifle. The host even missed with two broadheads. It was fun to watch. :grin: :grin:

Be sure to email Jim Scoutten [email protected] and let him know you enjoyed seeing the guy with the flintlock, George Sutton. GW

Saw another episode today where the guy shot eggs hanging from strings. He shot one still egg at 50, one swinging egg at 50 and another still egg at 100. Very encouraging display for the traditional community :grin:
