Shooter breaks 10 hand thrown clays!!!!

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Got an E-Mail from Jim Scoutten that Tom Knapp broke 10 hand thrown clays today, officially confirmed. His old record was nine. He was using a Benneli semi auto. i have trouble hitting two in row from a machine let alone 10 thrown at once by myself.........Buck

Dad-gum!  If anybody finds a link to a video clip I would love to see it.  How did he do the reload?

[Four-Eyed Buck]

 Probably had an extended tube. Video will be on Shooting Usa in November according to Jim Scoutten..........Buck

Wow! but talented people really pi$$ me off

[Buckshot Shell-E]

Well I can do that !!   
They almost always break when they hit the ground...


Wow ! Amazing shooting, would be fun to see on TV.

I used ta could do 3 with a pump gun, thought I was good, never could get 4 unless it didn't break when it hit the ground.  Thats why I never bough an auto loader, I eat up to many shells trying ta do better.  There was some one, can't remember who back in the 50's and 60's could do 6 or 7 with a Model 12 Winchester, the old model with out the disconector.

That would be Herb Parsons.

Thats it, I could not remember the name and ya know I'm skeered of Mr. Google. 

I remeber seeing a photo with the poofs of dust, vidio cameras weighed about 100 pounds back then.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I found his name on Tom Knapp's site. Not Google this time.

To put it in perspective, Ed McGivern used to routinely break five.




Of course he was using a revolver. 

[Delmonico]

Ya but Ed was good, besides that it's hard to find a place safe to do that any more.

[Jose Grande]

Yep, ol Tom was using an extended mag tube. But that Benelli cycles real fast. That is without a doubt the fastest semi-auto shotgun made. It's way faster than my Browning Auto-5.

[Delmonico]

Ya but yer Browning is a really a cool gun.

Geez, Del, I just ran that pic all the way around! That's one heck of a dipper!!! ......Buck

That's the cooks fer Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, I liked it and since "Buffalo Bill" is know to stop by and eat once in a while I decide to try it.  I'm gettin' better with these things.  Lots of soup in that kettle.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Bet those boys was gettin tired holdin' that thing  up too. why not not let it set on the wood? background seems to suggest a site in the Continental U.S. to me also judgeing by the home in it..........Buck

The guy in the foreground its pouring water in the big pot.  The guys with the big pole seem to be usin' it to remove another big kettle.  Try this link.

If it don't work let me know, I've had a bit of trouble with links lately.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

No problem with the link, Del. You're right theres another pot behind it. Notice there wasn't a location/caption though..................Buck
