    That was a stunning video. I have only been able to shoot my two milsurps (Swedish Mauser M96, French MAS 36) at 100 yards. I cannot imagine shooting / seeing out to 700 yards. You well deserve the Marksman badge and more. The "pew" was hilarious. I cannot imagine the effort involved in setting up a target 700 yards across a mountain lake, and filming it all. So glad to be a Patreon supporter!

  • @MusketMan1997
    @MusketMan1997 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Rob, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Of particular fascination were the moments of the “Rapid Martini practice,” hearing the report of the rifle echo around the valley with the 700yd target first attempt, and, as with everyone else, the fantastical Martini sound effects made in-house. I make that sound in my head when I shoot modern artillery, although it tends to be drowned out by said guns.
