My 10 Shot Benelli M4 - one of a kind...

I've got an inexpensive digital camera coming in and that will give me two so I'm hoping next weekend I might be able to get to the range and make this video happen.
What I want to do is set one camera up out by the 200 yard gong and then another back in the shed with me.
I'll film in from behind myself to try and get my gun and the range in view as I shoot.
After I'm done it'll probably take me another week or two to splice the vids together but I'm hoping, if the force is with me that day, to go 10 for 10 at 200 yards with slugs and get it on video but we'll see.
6 for 10 the first time I tried it so who knows. Hopes are high...

I`ll be :cowboy: :cowboy: {chomping on My ceegar} in anticipation of the moooovie.
Heck man, at 200 yds. with a shotgun, even the six of ten sounds impressive to Me. :cowboy: :cowboy:

Gonna be some challenging conditions for the 200 yard movie attempt tomorrow. If I could do it any other day I would but tomorrow is the day and that's it for a few weeks. I'm all set up and ready so it is what it is and we'll see how the conditions effect a 1 ounce slug flying out 200 yards. I'm hoping to do MUCH better than 6/10 for the movie so I'm hoping the wind isn't too constant and the humidity stays at least SOMEWHERE below 85%...

-agree: You've already blown minds with 6 out of 10. How big is the gong? Even connecting with a man size target once at that range is pretty good.
Best of luck on your quest. :usa:

I THINK it's about a 16 inch gong. I'm thinking I might place the forward camera off to one side so I can catch the gong AND the still board and maybe put up one human silhouette just for the heck of it.
If things are going well, I'll see what kinda damage I can do on it from that range. I'll be shooting with my zero X reflex site so we'll see how my eyes are tomorrow... :laugh: The gong is just a rusty circle down there though so at least the silhouette will be a little easier to see.
And yes, I agree the wind will be a pain but when the humidity gets up high, the air gets thicker and condensation makes everything move slower.
You guys in the midwest and dryer areas don't "normally" have to deal with the kind of humidity we have here but it can definitely play in.
We'll see come movie time though I guess... The proof'll be in the puddin...

Just to make things interesting, I just got done wiring up a round hub-cap looking piece of stainless (I think) that is 6 inches across. I set it up with some wires so I could wire it to the center of that gong tomorrow and really have a nice bright center. There was a bunch of em in the basement of this place when we moved here and I use em for fun targets once in a while...
If I hit it, it should crush down quite nicely. I don't think the slugs will go through it at that distance but who knows - the steel is about 1/8 of an inch thick so we'll see. Even just crushing it will look nice on camera though... 6" target hit at 200 yards with a slug. Hell, I'm bringing 40 1600 fps slugs with me tomorrow so I GOTTA get lucky at least ONCE you'd think... :laugh:
I've got another 50 low recoils I'm gonna blow off too but those are strictly short range (75 yards or less) blasters which are always nice to end the day with at 10 at a time...
Maybe I'll walk up on that gong and give it a solid whoopin at close range if it doesn't cooperate with me from a distance... :laugh:
