@0.18 seconds in the video, those spectators were not in a very good position.
It's fun watching your videos, you got some skills.

Probably, looks worse than it is, I just cringed for a second when it flashed by.
The GoPro camera is a very wide angle lense so it does distort things a bit. Makes things on the edges look closer and makes targets seem further away than they are. I got a new one recently and am still experimenting with settings, although this video was taken with the "old" one.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
I know some think Cowboy Action Shooting is a costume party with guns, and that may be a good description. But it has "Action" in it's name, so hopefully this video will provide a moment's diversion, entertainment, perhaps comic relief. This video shows one of the best CAS shooters in action, as he set 4 new world records in September, 2018. Clayton Wisdom competes under the alias "Missouri Lefty", and he won the World Championship in 2016 as a Junior shooter. I am the guy behind the camera.
CAS does have stages in which the shooter moves from one shooting position to another, but the target array for attempting a World Record is a "stand and deliver" stage in which all guns are shot from one spot. Target size and distances are specified and the timer must be shown continuously during the video. The shooter must shoot 5 shots each from two single action revolvers, 10 shots from a lever action rifle, and 4 shots from a shotgun, which must be loaded on the clock. Link to target requirements:

The remarkable thing about this shooter is how he is able to adapt to different shooting styles within a few minutes, and still be able to produce record performance. Gunfighter category allows shooting with a loaded revolver in each hand simultaneously. The three blackpowder category records demonstrate firing a revolver with two hands, like a modern combat style, duelist style, cocking and firing one handed, and using percussion revolvers duelist style in the Frontiersman category. In addition to style versatility, Lefty used his guns for setting the Gunfighter record, but he borrowed my guns for the blackpowder category records to keep his guns from getting dirty! I don't think very many world records have been set with borrowed guns.
So if this description is not intriguing just skip it and go to the next video in the thread. But I hope you will enjoy watching gun handling expertise by a college-age young man, in spite of the fact that he is using old style guns and wearing a cowboy hat!

Back in action. Down 38 pounds since the end of August and feeling pretty good. Won Carry Optics against some good competition in this match and was third overall, behind a PCC and an Open Master
I sent my Tanfoglio slide out today for milling for an optic so I should be back to shooting that again soon.

Damn straight LOL
Was there some weird stage procedure requiring you to alternate shots on the star with shots on another target??

Well done, my Dude!

No I just like doing things the hard way.
j/k yes the stage instructions required you to alternate one plate off the star and one hit on the 40 yd steel torso.
I believe I might still be at the range making fun of the MD who thought that was clever.

Nice vids everyone. We've got some great shooters here.
I'd like to get some 3rd person footage but it hasn't worked out yet. I cant bring myself to wear one of those first person "head thingy's".
