Tominator Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I saw in my latest NRA publication that some guy who shoots for Winchester broke Tom Knapp's record of busting 10 hand thrown clays. I can't remember the guy's name, but he broke 11! Guess I'll have to dump my Benelli for a Winchester now, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xen Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Re: New Record never knew there was an actual record for that type of thing. i'll bet you give a farm boy a gun that can hold more shells and you'd find all kinds of records broken. i use to hit 5 all the time, but then, my shotgun would only hold 5... that was back in the day when i could actually shoot half-way decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil hunter Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Re: New Record Yup, I've posted about that guy before on here.(and you probably didn't realize it, but he's posted on these forums before) He's quite a shooter for sure. Congrats to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of people who can shoot 10 or 11 birds are pretty few. Like..., 1 or 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got slammed by my buddy Tom about something about this. He was kind of jibbering. Either I was late in reading about this or the NRA was late about reporting this.

Bob LeBlanc Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Re: New Record Benelli used to claim that theirs are the fastest autoloaders...Guess what?...tests have shown that the SX2 is faster!!

Don't take me too seriously, "Benelli guys". I'd not turn down a Benelli if it were offered to me. They're excellent guns. But us poor Winchester shooters on a budget gotta get our digs in when we can get 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] There were several tests run by the guys that shoot practical shotgun matches showing the Browning Gold to be the fastest cycling semi-auto gun out there. The Win SX2 is basically the same gun. I'll see if I can find the article. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: New Record This past August, I actually cycled my Benelli as fast as I could. My gun was plugged, so I only had 3 shells in it. Tom and I were shooting clays on his buddy's farm, and when I shot 3 times as fast as I could, all 3 shots missed, and progressively got worse as the gun recoiled to the right. LOL. I think I missed because I was giggling so hard. Truth be known, I don't care how fast a gun cycles, as long as it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: New Record LOL! That's why I like my o/u guns. No semi auto will fire 2 shots as fast as the double gun. Now, if you increase that to 3 shots, well, even the Benelli seems fast compared to a double gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
