Extreme Marksman: Shooting Aspirin Tablets with .22 Caliber Firearms

[spookypunky]

Hmmm... I've seen a gentleman shoot an aspirin in the air on the History Channel. Amazing shot. I'm sure this man practices, but, I was more impressed with the History Channel sharpshooter.

@shilotv would you say shooting through the barrel part of a 12 gauge shell and blowing out the back with a .22 caliber bolt action at 25-30 feet is a good shot?

[shilohtv]

@Zachhecrote14 I would say that is good shooting

[Sudz1911]

I know this may sound like total armchair commando but would you mind watching a video i put in the near future of my 22 shot similar to your first and tell me if i need work on my shooting style?

[shilohtv]

@Sudz1911 I would be more than happy to watch it and comment

[Sudz1911]

@shilohtv why thank you sir. it may take awhile since i don't own a video camera at the moment

MMMmmm mixed feelings really, I have seen this type of shooting on many occasions here in the U.k.I indeed have shot and lit red matches,but I have to say we did our shooting at no less than thirty mtrs, outdoors,with.22 calibre air rifles and long rifles. nontheless good shooting.Strange though there are still records that are unbroken set by a woman a few years ago------- Yes Annie Oakly still holds certain rifle shooting records.

[shilohtv]

@MrChrissy1r That type of shooting is very remarkable and exceeds anything I have ever seen I would love for you to video that and will post it on our sight. I know a good deal of trick shooters who are considered to be the best in the world who can not light a match at any distance let alone 30 meters, please send a video of this remarkable feat.

[MrChrissy1r]

@shilohtv As An addenda I might add that The old matches used were probably as big round as an aspirin is thick.

[ANDYKilla1]

Damn your good!

[shilohtv]

@335MCR Thanks for watching my friend

[vict0r1ous]

[glynn72]

Impressive!!!

[zkiff1990]

ya i can hit that with a rifle at that distance

[ninjatoth]

I hope to join the ranks of doing anything I want if im willing to practice,To alot of scoffing at,I really want a snub nosed .22,I want to get a s&w 317 1n7/8 and get good with it.I know it will be a challenge,and I want to disprove to people that I absolutely need a 6 inch barrel to get any accuracy.

[shilohtv]

You will, once you figure out your point of aim, with the gun you can do about anything you want. Don't worry about people who talk smack, when i was a kid people told me the only thing you could do with any pistol was shoot people in the belly at point blank range. They are ignorant and not worth wasting your time with. Hang with people who love shooting and keep challenging each other to do better with harder targets

[thorington]

Sorry if that's a dumb question, aren't .22 pellets usually?

[shilohtv]

There are no dumb questions. I do not know if I understand yours though. We were using 22 Long Rifle ammunition. The projectile is moved down the barrel with a powder charge. There are pellet guns that shoot a .22 projectile which is moved down the barrel with air from a chamber inside the gun or a gas cylinder. I hope that answered your question.

[thorington]

Oh I see, thanks alot!

[SafeArmsReview]

Neat but how far away are you?

[shilohtv]

18 to 24 feet we did not pace it off exact, we were on an old military two lane road out in the middle of the desert. The target stand was on one side and we were on the other.
