More Extreme Marksmen

[Major 2]

One of the latest episodes ,
A Uberti Steel Frame Henry in 45 Cal. is used in trick shots , one is a Golf ball at 100yds.

Did you see him toss the grape in the air and nail it with the Henry?

That fella was one heck of a shot, but you gotta wonder, how many filming "takes" happened before they captured some of those shots.

Yes sir...  a new meaning for GRAPE SHOT 
he also seems to use the Henry as a Single shot...I suppose the added rounds in the magazine would throw his balance off.

Do you have a link to that episode?  I couldn't find it on the History Channel website.

I did find the shoot-out between a rifled musket & an Henry.  The guy, a journalist I think, took the Henry down from his shoulder to lever every round.  Don't they teach folks to always cycle the action from the shoulder?

I thought I  was the only one who gets bugged at that practice!  And it also seems that the same folks often don't put their hand IN the loop to cycle, they grab the bottom of the loop!

It looks (a) ungainly, (b) slow, (c) inefficient, and (d) overall wrong and a bit comical: kinda like monkey f...ing (with) a football.  (sorry if that's a touch graphic) I meant fooling.  And Sir Charles, that'd be a US football OR the rest of the world's type!

Master Gunner;  Football is a bona fide Canadian game as well.  First game was between McGill University (Montreal) and one of your Ivy league schools.  Youse guys later changed the rules.  Our Canadian football is truer to the original game.

We still call that other game SOCCER, where folks run about chasing a round ball.
