Haven't seen that one either, Mike. Awesome. Saw someone ALMOST as fast as him about 10 years ago at an archery shoot. The guy was 73 years old and you couldn't hardly see his hand move when he drew. He would balance a styrofoam cup on the back of his drawing hand at a little above waist level, drop his hand causing the cup to fall and shoot the cup before it fell ONE inch!
Dang......I tried ta watch, but my computer aint fast enuff ta keep up with that fella. :roll: What quick shootin'.....straight too.
His humility really touched my heart
but what amazed me is that he popped the first balloon after admitting that he was shooting blanks - darned good shot
he also said he could draw, aim, shoot and reholster in 2/100th of a second - just for fun let's assume that the gun moves 2 feet in and out of the holster and it's moving for the whole 2/100 - then it's moving 100 ft/sec - 6,000 feet/min - 360,000 ft/hr - almost 70 mph. I don't remember enough physics to determine what maximum speed he'd have to achieve to average 70 mph over one foot distance. Remeber he's starting at zero accelerating to something then decelerating back to zero and his average is 70 mph. Sounds like a little leg pulling......

Tick, I think he must have meant 2/10 of a second. He's fast, but not that fast. As far as the blanks, the burned and unburned powder is what breaks the balloon. Probably doesn't carry much more than 10 feet.
What amazes me is shooting two targets within one recoil. I think the way he does it is to rake his index and middle finger over the hammer to pull off those two closely spaced shots.

Yeah, he said he was shooting at 8 feet because he was shooting blanks.

I've seen him on TV where he demonstrates that. If I remember correctly, he uses all of his fingers when rapid firing 5 rounds.

I've drawn and fired in .2 of a second twice in competition [ way back when I could draw and fire fast ] and I was no where near as fast as him , I've seen some of the best IPSC shooters here in Australia and they are no where near as fast as him , he definitely is scary fast
