Holy Schmoly!!!! Did you see the one where he was shooting the T-Rex from the bench????
That would not only pop fillings out of teeth but detach a few retinas too!!!!!
Where'd I put my .22???

The cutting edge of big bore wild cats is a pretty "wild" place with out a doubt.
Most of what I see on these "clips" are "suckers" that have been set up as entertainment for the hosts and owners of the guns.
If you own a magnum or big bore and are going to let some one shoot it you have an obligation to work them up to it and do it in a fashion that won't get them hurt.
At Magfest 2003 (in July) we worked folks through from through 7mmRemMag, 300winMag, 338WinMag, 375HH Mag, 416RemMag, 416 Rigby, 45-70, 458WinMag, to 500 Nitro Express with the intent of teaching people how to do it right and not get hurt. None of our participants experienced anything like what I saw in these clips.
Very bad form and a service to no one.

11,000 foot pounds is a LOT of recoil to say the least!! Never having shot anything larger than 30.06, 45-70 or 12ga I can't say I speak from experience but these people obviously had even less than I do. THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS! All of them were either standing staight up or a few were even leaning back. That is definately NOT the way to handle recoil. Correct me if I'm wrong but I was taught to lean INTO the shot. Many if not all had poor grips at best. One of them didn't even have it in the pocket of his shoulder. It was on his bicep! Clearly a prime example of the blind leading the stupid!
The website is very entertaining though. A lot of great hunting footage and other amusimg clips. Love that Taliban Olympics!!! For anybody interested in loading and shooting some of these super monster rounds there is a wealth of info there. Loved the sithe though. Just had to add it to my favorites list.
