Yep, that guy can shoot. Talk about composure.
That guy sure knows what he is doing. I practiced a lot of quick two shot sequences with my Sako AV 300 win mag before I went to Africa off shooting sticks without taking the gun off my shoulder. I got pretty good at hitting the 200 metre chicken at the Ft McMurray range, but nothing like that.
It's a rare thing to see anyone practice second shots with a bolt, but twice out of seven animals I had let a second one fly before my PH told me to, both times resulting in a quick kill.

That really is quite stupid, and shows a complete failure to understand some basic facts about shooting game.
Objections to running, long, or whatever, shots do not come from the fact it is running or long or whatever. Objections come from the fact you should not take shots you can't make. If you can't hit running game, the ethical thing is to not shoot at it. If the shot is too long for you to make, don't take it. It's quite simple really. Try to understand, and not be so paranoid.
Those shots are actually quite short. He can make them. Obviously, he can make them a LOT of the time. If anyone can shoot with that consistency, it is perfectly ethical for him to take those shots.
How many on this board can actually say they can shoot like that? I can't. He is a very exceptional shot.
Haaa haaa haa you guys are going to hate me = I can shoot like that...
Prove it... talk is cheap

Im not being paranoid. Ive seen many times on this board guys throw fellow hunters under the bus for taking shots on running game. Some have said their is NO circumstance where it should be done.
Anywho, buddy in the video is a fantastic shot.

i dont shoot at running game cuase im not a good shot. maybe if it was close and i felt i could, only then would i shoot. that guy is a great shot.
Think he could always shoot like that???? That takes practice..Lots of it..
Hogs top out at 30mph...Probably run 20-25 more realistically. They also run level unlike a deer that runs 40-45mph, and take 10ft + bounds..I don't feel they would be very hard to hit consistently.

I'm not a push feed fellow and have been gravitating towards stainless rifles, but I'd be very, very pleased with a takedown 202 Forest Model.
