Wow... Been a while since I've seen so much WIN and so much FAIL in one video!

Had to watch it twice.  The wife enjoyed it too.  I'm not sure it'll make it any easier when I take her to learn to shoot.  Maybe it will help.  Don't do this or you'll end up on the video with the others.

What was the rifle that kicked butt at the end?  Most of these folks need a LOT of training.

i remember the first time i fired a 30-06, that had some kick!  i was about 13.  about the second or third round i was able to handle it much better.  i'm thinking that alot of those people NEVER fired a gun before in their life, nor will ever again!!

That was an A-SQUARE Hannibal 577 Tyrannosaur.  According to WIKI it makes  "220 lbs into the shoulder with its heaviest solid of 750 grains" and delivers on traget over 10000 ft/lbs of energy.

That's a lot of kick for just about anybody.  If your expecting a 25-30lb kick and get 9 times the force, you might just drop it too.

I read an article about a big game hunter who used a double barrel rifle of huge caliber (can't recall exact caliber but .416 or .470).  His trigger finger was broken by the recoil so many times it wasn't straight.

I shot three clips through the .45 showing the lovely how to hold her hand and the way to make it work. First time she shot it , her thumb was high and she threw the poor thing about ten feet, with a nice chunk of hand firmly placed in the slide. The rest of the day wasnt so good.
