They had a guy who was shooting airborne aspirin with a .22 rifle! Those guys are amazing! One guy used two pistols and got off 12 shots in less than a second! I need to stop using so many exclaimation points!
Yep that was pretty cool. The guy shooting asprin was shooting with a 22. cal. He also had a 12 ga. auto shotgun I think and was sponsored by Binelli. Also the guy unloading and reloading his 6-shooter was pretty impressive. I seriously doubt the guys of western lore were as fast…but that is completely conjecture.
Didn’t see the show, but am curious. When he shot the asprin, was he shooting a standard .22 bullet, or was he using rat shot? That would turn his .22 into a mini shotgun, and make his marksmanship still impressive, but not quite as awe-inspiring…
It was a regular .22 lr I think. No rat shot.

He tossed what looked like maybe a Bayer-type aspirin into the air with his left hand while holding the rifle against his right shoulder. He was firing a .22 caliber slug from a rifle. The same guy threw 8 skeets into the air the same way and shot all of them before hitting the ground using a semi-auto shotgun (Benelli I’m assuming because of his sponsorship with them.)
One of the pistol shooters hit a playing card on its edge cutting it in half. The shotgun guy goes through 50,000 rounds a year, one of the pistol guys goes through 80,000. That’s a hell of a lot of lead.
And he did 7 clays in one toss with a pump it seems like. It’s been a while since I saw it, but I think there was a long standing record (6?) with a pump, so this guy does 7 with a pump then goes on and does one more with a semi auto. Like I say, it’s been quite a while, I might be totally wrong here.
Most of the other stunts impressed me. This one, not so much. For one thing, I can do it.
