I enjoyed Hawkeye's video so much that I dug through my old emails to find this one

I'm pretty sure it would be the last time he did it! :D ;D
Wow... That's some serious recoil! :o

I have seen that one before and enjoyed being reminded of it. I love the look on their face. rofl.
Yar this is a great video LOL !!
Great vid Carolyn. Loved the one that flew and landed in the chair.

That vid reminded of the time my wife shot our chopped down (under 6 pounds) British Enfield 303. Next thing I knew she was on her butt.... LOL~~~!
Thanks for the laugh!
Your story reminds me of when my hubby bought a 375 H&H Mag, we took it to the gun club and he was afraid to shoot it.
So, he asked me to shoot it first and I did. But nothing bad happened, I actually shot a pretty nice grouping with it. :D

It's funny cause it ain't me!
Saeed was kind enough to send me a VHS compilation of his video recountings from his underground range,some 10yrs ago.
I like his humor.
Saeed did/does take great delight in letting newbs show their "prowess". The setting is in the tunnel adjacent to his reloading room,which sets beneath his literal palace.
It is common fare,prior to Safari,to summons folks to break a shot(never two).
The recoil associated with 357Mag wheelguns and especially the 44Mag DE,is slim to none at best. Same goes low base Trap loads...with legions of dove Hunters in Argentina doing 1K+ rounds a day and in typically lighter weight arms.
For conversation,a multitude of Saeed's boltrifles generate an excess of well over 100ft lbs of free recoil energy. For more conversation,anyone who shot/shoots Clays,will know his name and fortunes associated with The Grand. In fairness,he is a fabulous shot on Game and the Owner of Accurate Reloading Forums (http://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve). Be sure and muse that I said "hey".
Hahaha Arnie roflmao hahaha.

I agree, now that's funny Arnie. :D
Arnie,
"Wimps" is probably a touch too flattering,but you are on the right track.
Argentina is literally plagued with the flying varmints and BEGGING for folks to help control those numbers and the subsequent round counts run commensurate with the number of opportunities present daily.
Common fare for a Hunt Package to factor ammo in like accords,when submitting meals/lodging fares for the inclined. Much of it to do with easing the logistics of shipping that much ammo,in Today's political climate...which of course bolsters business.
Should anything else confuse you,I'll be happy to spell out more of the obvious.
Just for Arnie,
You'll note that there are appreciations for those expending 1000,2000 and 3000rds a day.

I'm assuming it was a typo and you meant a .357 Magnum - maybe not. In any case, my wife (5' 5", 135 pounds) shoots a S&W .357 Magnum and I shoot a S&W .44 Magnum as well as a Desert Eagle (.44 Magnum) semi auto. If you look at the video, almost no one has the butt (not Boston) of the weapon properly situated on their shoulder. I used to shoot competition trap and would easily go through 250-400 12 gauge rounds in a day. I guess the video is supposed to be funny, but IMHO, it's kinda dumb.
Yeah Arnie,
We noticed almost everyone was shouldering that gun too high too.
It wasn't a typo. 375 H&H Mag is a rifle. (I think H&H stands for Holland and Holland) My hubby bought it for an Alaskan brown bear hunt that his boss sent him on.
Carolyn
Wish my boss would send me on a hunt like that! ;D He's a lucky fellow.
The 375H&H is a notorious 0cat,mainly due to their inherent weight. Never once did Saeed film a 375H&H,for those very reason(s).
Typically it was the Nyati and/or T-Rex...often with soft loads offered to others,to bolster the courage of the unsuspecting.
In .375",you need to at least go 378Wby case capacity,for recoil levels to get sporty. Muzzle brakes excluded,as per always.

That was a long, long time ago!
Now he's self employed, and happy to shoot a whitetail out in our cattle pasture :D

Well then, I guess his boss can send him on a whitetail hunt now. Still better than what mine does. ;D
