Very interested in what caliber & bullet he was using. Fucking dropped that big-ass moose RFN. That guy has skills. View Quote At that range, only a few I could think of. 338-378, 338 Lapua, I know some folks even use 50's for really long range moose shots. Regardless of caliber, that was a perfect shot. Moose are tough as hell, it's (at least in my experience) kinda rare to see them DRT like that. Wobble, raise a leg, run, yeah, but planted like that? Just wow. Personally I've never even one dropped outside 200 though. But huge terrain difference. |

Not sure what he was using for a cam and zoom, but that doesn't even look close to 1100 meters.
He was pretty casual about hitting that shot. Regardless, good shoot. |

Look at him duck, the big baby.." "Uhh.... Dave?" |

View Quote I have to retract my statement, I re watched the video and did not see the zoom out the first time I watched it. Apparently, the man has some bucks tied up in optics. |

Damn. Not so sure how ethical that far of a shot is but he made it ethically.

I suspect he's been shooting that lane before. That's about the only way to hunt big game while babysitting
I generally avoid rutting males, but I suppose it can be made edible. |

Good shooting, must took alot of practice especially with the kid there.

Damn good shooting. Nice to be over water like that. Looks like there wasn't much wind call to make.

Watch again, you can see the water mist when the bullet spines him right in front of the rear quarters...taking away control of the rear legs....just like dropping a tree..... You think he intended for that placement or it was just luck? That shot was 3-4 feet away from a proper placement and if it hadn't hit the spine, the animal would have walked off with a gut shot. I'll be "that guy". It was luck that he hit the spine. You can't target that small of a target at those distances. Two seconds is a long time for an animal to decide to move. Now, I'd say he probably knows the movements and habits of moose much better than I. But, they are still unpredictable and two seconds is a long time. Unless he was starving, IMHO, that's what we call a "pot shot". Shooting in hopes you'll get lucky. It's not that much different than a guy I know who brags about shooting a deer at 200 yards with a shotgun and hit it "Right in the eye". I've no doubt the guy had his shit together. The more you practice and better equipment you have, the luckier you get. |

Fantastic shot I'm not sure I would expose MY kid to that sort of thing that early, particularly carving up a corpse, but credit to him for involving his kids. And that shot is just incredible View Quote Sir that right there is why this nation is being filled with a bunch of pussies! Get your kids out there and let them get their hands dirty! |

Impressive. It would be interesting know what rifle, optics, and ammo he used.

Where was the kid while he was taking the shot? Where's the kid's ear pro? I sure hope he wasn't alone with his kid wandering around while he's lining up the shot.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote I'd be more worried about the munchkin wandering around all the meat laid out on the beach in what is presumably bear country. Bears have been known to come towards the sound of a shot, too. It could be that they aren't much of an issue in that locale, though. |

Not at all. I've missed and had my share of bad hits. I do try to take only shots with a high probability of one and done. Very rarely instant but I'll settle for quick, at least.
Even done some "longer range" shots. The 2 second flight time alone would keep me from taking that shot unless it was a necessity. Just mho. It was obviously a hell of a shot. Im just saying it was risky and unethical as evidenced by the luck of the spine hit being the deciding factor. |

He was not aiming for the spine, which would be a ridiculous aiming point for a 50 yard shot, let alone a 1000+ yard shot. He missed his intended target and lucked out with that clean drop. |

So was the OP the shooter, or did he just find the video on Youtube?
