Good video. We used to have a novelty shoot where we would drive a 2x4 into the ground about 3' long. We drew a line across it with paint about 1' from the ground. You couldn't shoot above the line and try to break the board or you would be disqualified. We would shoot in teams of two, and with a dollar each entry fee and about 15 teams the first team that would cut the board in half would get the cash. The trick on wood is shoot as slow of a round as possible and still be accurate. That way it pushes and tears the wood away instead of just punching a hole in it. There was a lot of folks watching and if you were loading from the bench from behind you some other teams friends would be moving your loading stuff around. It was always exciting.
My shooting/hunting buddy and I would always drag out the .62's for this shoot.
