Wall gunning again

[robinghewitt]

Took my wall gun to the clay shoot this morning, finally found someone who could hold it straight :thumbsup:

My powder measure drops 60 gns and my shot measure drops an ounce and a quarter so those are the units. 4 of powder over 4 of shot was bearable, 5 over 5 tended to make people drop the gun and bits fall off the trees, 6 over 6 made my finger go numb but I am pleased to report it now just hurts so no permanent damage done :rotf:

This is a 4 over 4

This is me shooting a 5 over 5 :thumbsup:

Didn't get a pic of the 6 over 6.

Squire Robin,
You are either a very brave man or a glutton for punishment. :bow: In my late middle age here I no longer feel that I must absorb all that recoil. :redface: However, I never tire of seeing you perform masochistic rituals with your large bores. :rotf: Thanks for the pictures, and all the FIRE! :hatsoff: Reminds me of the pics of the 16 inchers being fired on the US battlships, hee, hee! :shocked2:
God bless.

Great pics, but did you HIT any clays? I just came back from the range where I tried my .410 pistol on clays, broke about as many as I missed, and sure had FUN!

I don't know, I didn't look :thumbsup:

I'd love to try that fourten pistol with clays but it would be totally illegal :shocked2:

Come on Robin... those are stills off a video camera. Are you holding out on us. :hmm: :grin:

It's not a very good video, the camera microphone couldn't cope with the bang. The gun kicks high, slips off my shoulder but I recover. Looking at the way I put it down and shake my hand this has to be the 6 over six shot, 7.5 ounces over 360 grains. I didn't try that again :nono:

Don't you wish it was England 1940 - you could have taken on the Luftwaffe single-handed.

 

[Slamfire]

I think you'd want to lighten the load a bit for that #8 high house target. But it looks like your swing is fast enough. :hatsoff:

 

[DCF]

Nice one Robin! Very impressive. You should recover with the minimum of physio.

I don't know, I didn't look :thumbsup:

The gunn shoots a 25 pound bag of shot at once, you couldn't see because the all that shot eclisped the sun... (wish I was there) :thumbsup:

Looks like he is only using a one finger trigger pull as well...
:grin: (not that I could do better) :hatsoff:

 

[Blivetmaker]

I was thinking the same thing with those pics.

Looks like a shoulder-fired FLAK.

 

[spitfire]

Impressive :shocked2: :applause: !

 

[Stumpkiller]

I see in the second image the shockwave is just beginning to tear the jacket off your torso.

:applause: :applause: :applause:

When you want to knock down a deer ~ use a deer gun.

When you want to knock down a wall . . .

Good ol' Slowpoke has hosted the movie if you have the bandwidth to download a 6 Meg file :thumbsup:

The camera microphone couldn't handle the bang but I do like the bit where Roger shoots a chunk out of the tree when his swing gets slightly out of control :rotf:

[Russianblood]

That is sooooo cool! :bow: Great video!

 

[Leonredbeard]

God bless.

Squire - I'm a late-comer to this party. Just what is the gun you are shooting, and would you happen to have any pictures of it in repose?
