I can't watch the video, but i would geuss with the 800+ yard shots. They are using a 50 BMG. There was an article in this months F&S about 50 cal long range hunting. This man and wife team where hunting elk with an LAR Grizzly single shot. The guys who shoot these long range matches are getting 6" groups at a 1000 yards or better. The best ever was a 2" three shot group at 1000 yards.

Yeah they're shooting doe with a .50 BMG, good one. The deer would be ripped in half.
And I'm assuming none of you do long range shooting, 800 yards isn't that long. I can hit an 8" plate at 1,000 yards.
Also, I keep hearing alot of you say "what gun do they have?" I can't really tell but it's probably a Savage, 700, GAP, AI, etc. ANY Bolt Action can perform like that.

RE: Long range hunting! *VIDEO*
My friend I hope you are joking.800 yards is a long way out there. And I do practice that, I have a 6.5 X 284 just for that reason. I also have a 50 bmg and THAT is'nt what they are shooting. I can tell you from my experience that if you can hit a 8" circle at 800 yards ( consistently)you are better then 90% of the guys I shoot with ,hell maybe more then that. There are some off the self rifles that will do that but not very many.
. Nice

I have heard lots of people talking about its not hunting that far away and that its just shooting. Now, look at their setup. With all the huge rests and equipment, Does it really look like they are hunting NO they are just simply shooting at a semi moving target.

Hutner06... My point and I think a number of others too is that my making these dramatic videos and hyping the shots they are making it sound like this is a normal thing for anyone and everyone to do. I don't care if "they" have the equipment and practice to "make" such shots. I do care that they influence people who have neither to try to take such shots and end up wounding animals that would have had a better probability had those same hunters focused on getting a more reasonable shot and kill.
