Seen a pretty neat video on youtube today called the .454 Casull Challenge, most people on here will probaly enjoy it. Some pretty impessive shoooting

That's some impressive shooting! Now do 20 pushups and a 50 yard dash before shooting to simulate the adrenaline spike from a bear charge.

Here is a link to the video. Who's the guy at 1:50?

Sort of on the same topic, here is a video of Lynn Thompson using a SRH in .454 Casull to kill a charging buffalo.

Gee, I wonder.....

That said, we had a lot of discussion on the topic and everyone is aware that in a charge situation, one would more than likely only get one shot. That said, rattling off five well aimed shots of full-tilt .454 in under three seconds isn't the easiest task. I will say this, though, Bryce Towsley can shoot.

Outstanding.

Nice job Max

Impressive let's see you do it with the 50Alaskan

No thanks! Let's see you do it with the .50 Alaskan - trust me, you don't want to shoot that thing fast!

Nope! Don't want to shoot it fast, slow, or anywhere in between!

Good shooting Whit - and yes, Bryce made that look easy...

Thanks! I want to practice a little more and get back on the clock.

Hey Whit,
You cheated you didn't use a ported barrel!

Yeah well, my FA83 doesn't have a ported barrel.......

Wow, very impressive! Thanks for posting, if truth be known I would probably get eaten by the bear.

cool! I don't know if I could get the hang of cocking with my left thumb lol

I had to undo 35 years of habit in two shooting sessions......yikes!

that's not easily done! lol what load were you guys shooting?

when you watch a video like that, it is easy to see just how "snappy" the 454's recoil is

We shot Federal 300 grain Swift A-Frame loads when we filmed that segment. Yeah, we were fighting muzzle flip the entire time.

BRAVO!!! Loved that segment. That was well produced! Bravo to Bryce too! Loved how he did it with a handheld timer in the non-controlled conditions too!!! Awesome!!!

My only criticism is "What's with the Dress Shirts & Ties?!?!?" This wasn't supposed to be a test of "How to Stop a Charging Buffalo Who Got Loose In The Office!!!" Jeez guys! Come on!

Good job!

Man, that is something! The guys all had good times, but Towsley's group was truly impressive.

That is because it was a work day. We too were using a handheld timer. You should see how fast I can shoot when I'm wearing my Carhartts.

That is some good shooting...don't know if I would even try that.lol

I know I wouldn't! I have a 7.5 inch .454 FA and I would probaly be diggin' the front sight out of my forehead!

Cool vid. I liked it. Its gotta be hard to fight those hard earned techniques that allow accuracy at 100 yards to use bad technique to throw alot of lead close. The trick i think is being able
To go back and forth when needed

I would love to see this same challenge with a double action, just to see if the hits on target and times get any faster.

That's coming, standby.

I have never even thought of doing tis but for the big boomers it certainly makes a lot of sense for a fast recovery shot.

When you cock with the thumb of your shooting hand, you compromise your grip. This way, your grip never changes and you can squeeze off the shot with no delay.

It's the only way.....
