NOT a smart hunter at all looks like your shooting straight for some buildings whether they have people in them or not, thats not that great of an idea
Response to jakhunter: First of all, as I wrote in my description of the film, I'm shooting downward from the top of a high hill. That's why there is absolutely nothing in the way of the camera. Secondly, that barn in the background is at least 2/3 of a mile away (that's well over a thousand yards) and anyone can plainly see in the film that there is nothing at all behind that woodchuck except a raised dirt berm alongside the deep drainage ditch. Thirdly, the varmint bullets that I use in this film are designed to fragment upon impact, as most varmint bullets do. You probably didn't think of that either. And finally, I am a safe hunter and always have been. And, you don't know me at all. I've been shooting centerfire rifles without endangering anybody for over 45 years now. And I have also killed over 300 woodchucks in the last 12 years for people who appreciate me getting rid of these pests on their farms. I know what I'm doing here fella, and I don't believe in magical bullets that richochet off soft dirt or any other fantastic possibility that you can dream up.
whatev you think its still not that bright of an idea congrats on shooting all the varmits i think you should receive a ribbon or something
although that was an amazing shot what are you shooting cause my 17 HMR is not doing it so i wanted to upgrade any suggestions
Thanks anyway, but I've got all the ribbons I need. As far as rifle/caliber suggestions go, I like the Remington 700, .22 centerfires. Especially the .223 and 22-250 both using 55 gr. bullets like the Hornady SP or Nosler Ballistic Tips. These calibers kick very little, yet hit hard, shoot flat, and usually produce one-shot, instant kills on animals weighing between 10-40 lbs. I usually try to avoid taking head shots which are always risky business at long range. I usually aim center mass and have always had favorable results doing so. There are my suggestions to you.
