Default Southern 8ga. video's

Here are 3 short video's of the 8ga. event at this year's Spring Southern. This was the first time taking video's with my Nikon camera so it's not real good but you get the feel of shooting these big guns. Featured are our own Parker professional shooters, Ben Hall (son of Jim Hall), and the well known professional George Purtill On the last video you can see George just crush that last target.

I like the way George shrugs off his stress and tension before he mounts his gun...

Thank you for posting the videos of the 8 ga. shoot. For those who will probably never lay hands on one it is wonderful to see. Awesome as the Grandkids would say!

Thanks Chuckie Boy
Dean You have to decompress before you pull a trigger on an 8 gauge. But its a helluva lot of fun!!
That was Eric Eis' 8 gauge DH.

I cannot stress enough my thanks to those who loaned guns and loaded shells for use in this event. It was a great opportunity and a lot of fun!
