At 3:27 he has an obvious flinch.. not surprising shooting 12 gauge slugs. Point is we all flinch a bit. He obviously has mastered it that it occurs after the trigger is pulled. He's right on the money by saying slugs can be very accurate. During qualifications several guys could touch holes on occasion at 50 yards in prone and kneeling positions with an old Remington 870 pump with rifle sights. However, no one seemed to enjoy it like he does.. That said, hitting a target at 230 yards offhand w/slugs is a feat not many could duplicate with consistency. Most impressive. Love the enthusiasm in the snow....

For those of you that don’t shoot please allow me to convey Hickok is shooting while standing and holding the shotgun by hand at a target 230 yards away. He says he is shooting “offhand.” He is shooting while only holding the shotgun with his hands. Without the benefit of sticks or rest or prop. This is The most difficult position or way to shoot any weapon. His humble demeanor hides the brilliance of this marksmanship. Most people can’t shoot this well if the shotgun was on a solid concrete rest Jammed into a mechanical holding device. This is a brilliant shooting exhibition and a class act! You will likely never see another shooting exhibition at this level. Possibly a gunnery Sargent or professional marksman might equal the marksmanship but they tend to be fairly mouthy about their ability. I doubt the ability with this gentleman’s manor will ever come again. “Life IS good.” I am blessed!

Slugs are no joke. I had a large group of does walk up a treeline on the last day of season. Picked out the two biggest gals in the group and fired a shot with a 20g Hornady SST out of a Savage 220. It was a 200 yard shot. Dropped her where she stood. Went to chamber another slug to hopefully fill out both tags, ended up being too much time fumbling with the bolt since it was my first season using a bolt action slug gun. Went to harvest her and realized there was another pool of blood further behind where she lay. Took me a second to realize in that big group there must have been a doe behind the one I shot that I didn't see. Followed the blood trail and sure enough, the slug passed thru the first, hit the doe behind her and passed clean thru her too, although leaving a few bits of the jacket behind. Been hunting with that bad boy ever since.

You should do more long range reverse angle shots, I like hearing the gunshots in the distance and the impacts up close, interesting way of mixing things up.

Frost two shots same hole, and notice that he didn't flinch at all on the dry fire. That's so vital on precision shooting. Focus and smooth pull. I'm actually a way better shot because of this man

@showproja 3 жыл бұрын

Folks, that was some miraculous marksmanship right there! 690 feet, and he made a nice group on a desktop? I can't believe how much steam those slugs still had on them at that distance! Those holes look like they were shot at point blank. I figured that sighting technique of his out as a kid with a BB gun! It has served me well aiming firearms. Thanks for all the great video, H45!

Thanks Hickok. I always hold over or under to adjust for range if I need to, but my dad always did like you say and will adjust his sight picture to allow for distance. This is an older video now, but I'd not seen it yet. Well done and awesome shooting.

You must not shoot very often then. 230 yards is a feat with a shotgun and slugs, not a rifle.

right on brother! me too! and many people don't know it,but for home defense or close range, #4 shot will stop anything or anybody in their tracks. of course, I use a slug or buckshot for deer.

Shooting the table at 230 yards was impressive but what really blew me away was when I passed your house the other day and seeing you and John throwing the football, and you were throwing the same 230 yards while John was actually making the catch! Very nice Hickok45.
