  • i once caught a slug... with a deer

  • this guy shoots that like a sniper rifle

  • @hualosman  80 yards

  • Comment removed

  • @890sinister its hard to beat a 22 rimfire either rifle or handgun, cheap to shoot so you can shoot more

  • What gun should a person with very little experience with guns should he/she get? Curious. Great videos.

  • i think the winchester super x slugs are more accurate than remingtons sluggers. after a lot of testing that is

  • I love the sound that beauty make when it snaps shut. Great video.

  • old man can shoot!

  • u can tell when he starts getting excited...his acuracy goes down to like 98% lol nice vids hickok45

  • Can you shoot rifled slugs through a modified choke?

  • @MrXtream123 yes you can.

  • @MrXtream123 yes you can.

  • im from kingsport,tn. thats upper east tn. what part of mid tn are you from?

  • It's been a year. Time for a 10 gauge slug fest.

  • Outstanding!

  • may i be your apprentice!!!??? haha

  • Hey hickok 45 I got to say I am a huge fan, I live in Cookeville TN maybe we could get together and do some tactical zombie training.

  • My dad has a Charles Daly automatic that I shot my first turkey a couple of months ago. Nice vid hickok!

  • Anyone ever suggested doing a comparison of different types of shot? like 00, 0, 4, 8 etc?

  • @jsnunya I believe he has one on .410 rounds out of a Taurus Judge.

  • damn that thing sounds mean

  • My mossberg has both the smoothbore and the slug 24 inch rifled barrel ftw. Nice videos

  • i cant believe how well u shot that beneli without any kind of slug sights

  • Jesus man... you shoot every gun... accurately!!!!!

  • wow, how much have you spent on steel targets over the years? I would love to get that many. Your back yard is awesome!

  • u peedo that gos to da candy store

  • -100 by the way

  • Middle tennessee, that makes me like your videos even more.

  • Hickok has too much fun. Not fair. Best reason to own alot of property to shoot on. Just in passing, I went out and bought a Mav 88 18.5" security pump (cant beat the price) and its pretty good but to upgrade you have to spend another 146 bucks to get a longer 28" (with the 3 choke system) Mossberg barrel especially if you get into trap, skeet or even hunting. Better to get the Mossberg 500 28" for $78 more and then buy the 18.5" barrel for $75. You get 2 shotguns for the price of one.IMHO

  • True story: I was squirrel hunting with my 20 ga single shot and i saw this squirrel about 25 yds away. I shot at it and I didn't hit it (very wide spread) and it ran to bout 35 yards. I reload my shotgun while keeping my eyes on the squirrel. Pulled back the hammer, aim and BOOM! had a bit more kick than usual. Found the squirrel and the damn thing had a hole through its neck & the head hung on by two strands of skin. Checked the casing & a damn slug got into my bird shot LOL!

  • i watch your videos and slugfest is my favorite. you should make more of slugfest.

  • so answer me this. WHY spend 800 to 1200 on a pump benelli or beretta or any pump for that fact? they shoot the same shells as any 870 or even maverick 88. I just can't justify spending that on a tube with a firing mechanism on it, unless it has somtething i dont understand... pump and shoot right?

  • why don't you ever go for the chickens? everyone know's you're good enough to hit them. haha

  • How good are you ear buds for shooting because when i shot my gun with regular not good ear buds my hearing was not great for a couple of days but how good do your ear buds work

  • Do the bowling pins ever explode or anything

  • mamamiya

  • best videos ever!!!

  • Nice shooting.

  • Every time you hit the iron gong, it sounded like you were ringing a church bell. Gotta love shotguns.

  • How far is that furtherest round iron gong? Looks as if you were hitting it right in the middle. The reason I ask is I'm gonna go for a challenge next deer season a scoped smooth bore slug gun, lol just wondering what I should zero for. TY

  • has any of the bullets that you have fired gone throught the metal/steel targets?

  • how does this guy have many guns? i watched a lot of his vids.

  • haha its like a fine mist of fizzy drink, LOL! awesome video's hickok, good job.

  • Hickok45 I love your videos!!! Throwing slugs on a Sunday afternoon YEEAAHH!!! by the way I was wondering what you think of the Phoenix Arms .22 pistol.

  • i think if u use this shotgun to hunt rabbit,the rabbit might explode

  • @shittyfuck i think it would to! lol

  • i would love to shoot with you before i die, seems like something that would be a great experience!

  • Hey Hickok45, great video. You can't go wrong with the good ol' shotgun. One of my favorites for sure.

  • Hawk 982 (chinese 870) and a Glock 26. Both for home defense. If you could do an educational tutorail on how to break them in and shoot from hip or shoulder, etc. I live in CA. The guns are for HD. Home protection only. But proper training for me, my girlfriend, and her brother is wanted. We signed up for basic NRA classes, but your ideas and input would be nice too. Thanks!

  • Yes. I second a shotgun basics video. New to guns and going to start with a Hwa

  • Man  it sounds like a church bell when you hiy the steel in the back.

  • Hey, boss. So glad I've stumbled upon you're YT channel. I'm pretty new to firearms in general but was looking to get a plane Jane shoot the bad guys in my house Remington 870. Do you have any videos on home defense shotguns 101?

  • @Jonbomar715, I shoot basic shotguns a lot in my videos, but I haven't done a tutorial on them. Any plain old Remington 870 or Mossberg will do just fine. There are some other pump guns out there, too, that I"m not as familiar with.

  • @hickok45 how much for a benellie shotgun?????? what pistol ro shotgun do you recommend for a beginner?

  • @hickok45 Hi, hickok. I live in Middle Tenessee to, and I love it. I also love your videos. I really enjoy you showing all your firearms. I'm also a gun. You seem like a really cool guy and your videos are awesome. Thank you for all the Great videos!

  • @Jonbomar715 IM me if you have any questions on firearm i'm a weapons specialist in the U.S.ARMY

  • @Jonbomar715 man i have to agree so much, hickok u make it so fun to watch man i love you chan. keep em comin! =)

  • @Jonbomar715 Thats the shotgun I have! I have the 870 express super mag! It it is a good gun! I have not had any problems with it! But if you want to get a home defense gun try to get a shorter gun so you can maneuver it around with ease!

  • somebody needs to show this vid to game devs, shotguns dont have 5 meter range lol

  • Not a gun fanatic but damn I like your personality. Haha. subbed

  • My shoulder started hurting as I watched this.

    I use have a Mossberg 500 that came stock with a nice rifled barrel and rifle sites. It is impressively accurate with the stock sites; so much so that I haven't even attempted to put a scope on it (or I'm just too cheap). I generally just shoot cheap slugs through it, though I'll put at least a box of Remington Copper Solids (from Walmart) through it if I'm going to take it hunting.

    I also have an 18.5" smooth barrel for around the house.

  • Can i shoot rifled slugs out of a smoothe bore barrel with an improved cylinder choke? its a mossberg 535 ive been told you can but not sure dont want to damge my gun.

  • @dtrip09 that's not true, I shoot slugs out of my smooth bore regularly. I've heard you shouldn't fire sabot slugs through a smooth bore because they are optimized for rifling. As for choke, you can use them, but you shouldn't use anything tighter than a mod choke. With cheap federal 2 3/4 in slugs, a reflex sight and a skeet choke I can shoot a 7 inch group at one hundred yards.

  • life is good!!!

    

  • this guy is gonna have a bloody field day if z day happens :D

  • Do you load your own shells?

  • did you make or buy those targets

  • Damn. Talk about keeping them in the ten ring. Good shootin.

  • have you ever seen a change in acceracy between rifled slug guns and smoothbore slugs guns i hunt with a rifled mosbergg 500 thinking about buying a benelli nova smoothbore bore to replace it. shoud i buy a new gun or stay with the 500.

  • i think your aiming is great.

  • how do u feel about saiga12? would you recommended?

  • @ElCoyotefromTexas I would the saiga 12 is reliable and tons of cheap modifications you can do.

  • That is one beautiful shotgun. Really accurate also from a distance. Great video as always.

  • How much energy are they producing? They look crazy!

  • 0:53- 0:59....three o clock!

  • nice target range. is that in your backyard?

  • oh lol this is new to me

    are slugs like normal bullets?

  • I need some help im buying a new whitetail gun. Im choosing between a mosin nagant or a m500 with a slug barrel which one should i get

  • @thegermanPFAU depends bro. Nagant cheap/ cheap ammo and good out to 600 to 900 yards and the mossie 500 awsome up to 100 yards and nothing stops a Big buck like a big ole slug! My first was a 30-30 and it served me well untill age 14 when I shot a huge wall hanger buck at 250 yards and I had to unload on him. That year I bought a 300 win mag that is good out to 1200 yards and I have never had to fire more than one shot at any deer since. If I could do over I would go with .308 cheaper ammo!GodB

  • @efrey614 Yea man I got an old marlin lever 30-30 but its been out of service for a while. And i might buy a .300 win mag because my dad is helping me out with the price. Thanks for the help!

  • Do you have a Krag Jorgensen? That would be cool:)

  • Hi, I have a Charles Daly 12g pump shotgun and the I can rotate the barrel slightly (but I can't pull it out of the reciever) if I hold it by the stock and grip the barrel. The magazine cap is hand tight. Is it safe to fire?

  • hey man i have been shoting from a Remington shotgun ( idk witch one it is )

    but it can fire 5.56 round and slugs... do you have something similar in you're inventory ? if so can you make a video about it? thx

  • I keep watching these vids... I still wish i had this back yard!!!

  • I have to say, I love that you always practice safety even while your talking and what not, your a great "role model" for gun owners please keep it up. Nice videos they always keep me entertained and I like your compound...fun stuff.

  • Great video very nice shootn...

  • How long is that barrel?  Smooth or choked? Nice shootin!!

  • @scuds03 , Just over legal length about an inch. Smooth bore with cylinder choke.

  • @hickok45 what do you think of a mossberg 500.

  • @hickok45 i just got a remington 870 , i dont know much about shotguns, do you think i would be ok shooting slugs?

  • @cheesepufff yep, i shoot slugs out of my 870 all the time.

  • @Ronald3570 i got to shot the 870 yesterday with sum federal slugs and, dam it kicks hard...and i love it! right after we shot the ar15 and it wasnt half as fun, the 12 is great!

  • @cheesepufff ya your shoulder will be sore the next morning if you shoot a few boxes of full power slugs. but i love the knock down power. we set up a wooden palet and one slug made the whole thing just fall apart.

  • Really nice im buying a mossberg 500 3 inch chamber rifled slug gun

  • is shooting slugs out of a smooth bore shotgun like shooting a smoothbore musket?

  • @nunvikingsofthesea , I guess, but with modern shotgun ammo (slugs), they seem a good bit more accurate.

  • @hickok45 Are damage done by slugs compareble to being hit by a musket ball?

  • how many glocks/handguns do u have

  • Please tell me that is a rifled barrel.

  • @kevlar442 , I could tell you that, but I'd be fibbing; it's just the stock smooth bore barrel that came on the gun.

  • Do you paint your targets every time you shot them?

  • @vascurten , We usually repaint them before we do a video. That way, you sometimes get a visual on the hit, or a "nonvisual" on the miss. We especially try ot repaint the closer targets before doing a video.

  • yeah cool 

  • good job on the video!!!!!!!!!!

  • thats impressive to hit with a shotgun at 80 yards i love my remington 870 i have shot 00buck out of it but not slugs yet i do got some of the federal slugs im gonna fire soon!!!!

  • Those old Benelli's rule don't they.

    I recently picked up an old 121M-1 Swat-gun for half a G.

    It even has a Choate tactical stock.

    We love it, and we even shoot trap with it.

  • i cant wait till i take my lil brother shooting my dads 870 with slugs with them, he thinks he can handle it but hes only shot my henry golden boy 22 magnum, so he'll be in one heck of a suprise

  • Which do you think has the greatest chance of survival?

    1. Skydiving without a parachute?

    2. Breaking into this guys house to rob him?

  • @chapmasi skydiving im going 2 guess

  • @chapmasi thats an easy one... im sure somewhere in recorded history, somebody survived a skydiving accident... but nobody has ever broken into hickock45's house and lived the tell the tale.

  • @chapmasi all depends do i get to wear a parachute when i break into his house to rob him

  • @chapmasi I really don't think that hickok is someone that goed all crazy rambo shooting on the criminal...

  • @keesurt Neither do I, I think Hickok45 is perhaps the least gung-ho Firearm enthusiast on Youtube

    I simply meant to point out his ability to shoot

  • @chapmasi skydiving without a parachute. atleast you know you have a slight chance.

  • @chapmasi number 1 lol

  • @chapmasi Skydiving.

  • All of your videos are great! What do you think about these new Winchester PDX-12 defensive rounds for shotguns? They have (3) 00 rounds and a slug in one shot. Maybe it would be a good video idea, testing them against your creative targets!

  • @silvergmc , They sound interesting.

  • @silvergmc after u said that i had to look into it and they do indeed look interesting, i bet theyre expensive but im going to try and find some and try them out

  • This is so badass. I think I'm in the mood to blast my shotgun today! Good fun!

  • nice gun and great videos

  • HEY you got featured!

  • once again great vid hickok

  • And what have we learned today in class. Today we have learned if somebody comes at you with a shotgun full of slugs don't bother hiding behind a wall.

  • Those animals on your farm are extremely resilient. I swear I have seen you drop them more than once, yet the keep coming back for more!

  • your videos are always good because you always give a play by play of whats going on, you also give good insight on your equipment. not like other shooting videos.

  • Hickok keep kickin ass and make more videos, even make a glock 21 Part 3 video please.

  • How did your shoulder feel after that?

  • @Miamijunglist , Just fine. Guess I shoot so much that it takes a lot to actually hurt me. Better cross my fingers and knock on wood, though. :-)

  • @hickok45 Wow, 100 sporting clays will get me a little sore... I cant imagine doing it with slugs and lifting a toothbrush the next day.

  • Good video! Quick question, I was thinking of shooting 12 ga. slugs at my 3/8 steel plates but wonder how they will stand up, what kind of damage does the 1 oz slug do to your plates?

  • @Ignerence ,  if they are normal steel, slugs will mess them up.

  • did he say Remington zombie gun?

  • @ionpaintballlover

    Yes, you have to watch his little zombie hunt in one of his old posts to get it. He has fun.

  • did he say winchester zombie gun?

  • Shotgun Sweetness.... Thanks again Hickok!!!! And guess who lives in TN now!

  • you should do a close up of your Benelli M1 Super 90.

  • How do you like the Winchester BRI's? And do you prefer 000 or 00 buck shot?

  • You're one of the few "big" posters who actually responds to your video comments. That makes me keep watching.

  • @jikkuria , Believe me , it's not easy. I miss some. It's like having 200 blogs to keep up with to get around to all of them. :-)

  • @hickok45 I understand, it's just seems that you're more responsive than most. It's nice to see an experienced shooter sharing his knowledge. i'm only 17 and haven't been shooting more than a year. i shoot what i own well, but i'm always looking for more info. Thank you, Paul.

  • You, sir, are a Superman. Yet, me believes your right shoulder is quite sore, by this posting.

    Thank you, sir, for another excellent post. It's one thing to critique a man's YouTube contribution and and another to post yourself shooting a 12 gauge shotgun without calling 9-1-1 for a dislocated shoulder, as much as you fired it.

    Never again will I complain about you calling a magazine a "clip". You, sir, are AWESOME!

  • I llike those Winchester foster slugs. They work very well in my Win 1300. Only down side is that availability is pretty poor and price is terrible, 1,20 euro/pc. Cant really shoot them just for fun as often as I would like.

  • I really enjoy your videos. We seem to share alot of the same views. Its good to see a light hearted guy who just enjoys his guns and doesn't try to get too millitant.

  • Im having issues with my shotgun, i think my barrel might be warped or something, great vid, i love how much fun you have when your shooting, and yeah, i never knew bowling pins were so tough till i started watching you shoot!

  • What about M1014 Special Ops

  • beautiful.......just beautiful

  • I have probably watched you shoot more rounds on YouTube than I will in my entire life.

  • do you use a smooth bore barrel??

  • @jacobninja25, Yes, I've never owned a rifled shotgun barrel. A rifled shotgun seems a lot like an oxymoron to me! :-)

  • hey hickok do u recommend using pistol grip on a shotgun when ur using slugs? or buck shot?

  • @dreamz20091 , Whatever you prefer. The pistol grips might give more control when you're firing the thing, but I don't like how it makes the gun less handy, which is why after about ten years, I replaced the stock on my Benelli Super 90 with a straight stock. It's a wonderful pistol grip, but it just gets in the way, too.

  • @dreamz20091 Propably pistol grip helps, if you have a need to reload, while keeping your shotgun pointed at target direction. Many action shooters prefer pistolgrip, but hunters dont. If possible, you should try how it feels and handels for you.

  • @jpenna1976 are pistol grips legal for hunting or just home defense?

  • @dreamz20091 I dont see how it could be illegal... maybe in US? ;)

    In Finland, we have very little limits for hunting shotguns. Only magazine larger than 2+1 is not allowed in semi-automatic hunting shotguns. Also if shotgun is shorter than 34" in total, it would be difficult to get license for it.

  • @jpenna1976 i live in Arizona and mine holded 3+1 and after taking out the piece that was keepin it from holdin more shells it now holds 5+1 and its pistol grip but i havent gone hunting yet so im not sure and i just dont wana get in trouble lol u know

  • your shooting videos are like being in a sanctuary. thanks.

  • Amazing how strong bowling pins are.

  • That looked like a lot of fun.

    Thanks for inviting us along!

  • Hickok, did you ever think about doing voice overs?

  • Wow Love it!!!!

  • Hey, cool you did a shotgun vid! awesome men awesome guns

  • As always, amazing video hickok!

  • Now thats a gun for everything, zombie apocalypse? Snipe zombie with slugs.

  • I do not know how many times I have been told that slugs are not accurate at all. This will be a good video to show them WRONG, lol. Within 100 yards, it is as accurate as the shooter, like many firearms are.

  • I officially have shotgun envy.

  • Know what you mean about hot barrel. Particularly like the heat shield on mine ;)

  • there are few things as fun as cutting loose with a scatter gun, wheeeeeeee ! Hey buddy thanks for continuing to share all your fun with us. It really hits the spot after a long day at work

  • Nice shotgun.

  • were having bacon tonight boys and some buffalo =)
