Miculek video - 6 shots in 1 second with full house 44 mag loads

<Finally got to the range, what with this lockdown, myocardial infarction (me), and hip replacement (Miss Kitty).>

One thing I've discovered is that some "tricks" aren't that hard if you just get up and try them.
NOW LET ME BE CLEAR. I'm NOWHERE near JMs level. Not even 50%. But, I have tried some of his feats and if nothing else they're an eye-opener to a different level and feel of shooting.

I can do 6 shot in 1 second (first to last). Nothing fancy, just a 4" 686, tuned a little (by me) and some .38spls running @128 power factor (124grain bullets). I still got it today.

Now for the .44mag. Running a 629-6 with minimal tuning. 14# rebound spring and removed the unessential pieces from the action. Haven't lightened strain screw at this point. It is only a 5" but it is MagNaPorted, which doesn't help with the recoil but lessons the muzzle rise. Shooting 240gr bullets at 965fps which works out to 231 Power Factor. Had done a few hundred dry fire, but I swear that actually shooting ammo enables you to shoot faster. Maybe the recoil helps bring your trigger finger off the trigger faster or something.

NO I DIDN'T make it. The best I got was 1.14 seconds. The target was shot at 7yds. I brought it forward so you could see the hits.

Again, I will never come close to JM, but I can swagger just a little because I tried.

I think it's great to try this type of shooting.
But remember what separated Pros from the rest of us: consistency and endurance. Also the ability to perform under pressure.

For example, most of us could drive a car at high speed right at the limits of control for a few seconds, with no competition. But to do it for 500 miles, in the middle of a pack of cars trying to beat you, well only the best are capable.

I've noticed that in my dreams I shoot Master level in the classifiers, but when everyone's watching in real life I barely make Marksman.

I'm working on using my son's GoPro to document my ONE trick. I haven't gotten my .44mag time under 1 sec, but here's video of 1.17 seconds.

And 1.02 Seconds. Now note, I'm not so haughty as to think this I anywhere near Jerry's level. My rounds are probably have less recoil than his and I am just keeping them on paper at 25ft.
