Great guide thanks! Just picked up an 1897 and practised a little yesterday, most guys do over the top but for fast double shots like a can-kicker I may practice the right side load first. Off to get some slabs of 12ga!
Great demonstrations and info, thanks for sharing. I like how similar going over the top of the receiver to load a shell into the open port is to going over the top of the AK's receiver to hit the charging handle. I do prefer going under the receiver to hit the charging handle on the AK tho. Some people have asked where HEMA ends, given they used early firearms for centuries alongside all those swords etc. I say HEMA ends where Cowboy Action Shooting begins :)
one of the best information videos I have seen online. I love these different reloads and I have started practicing them since watching your video about an hour ago. I'm getting the hang out performing them but I still need work of course. lol. I am modifying it to a certain extent because I am using a shotgun with a plug in it so it only feeds three rounds at a time but it's still fun!
Thanks for all the great videos. They've been helpful. However, if I may give some friendly advice, all your videos have distorted sound. You need to turn the gain down on your microphone to prevent clipping.
Thank you I came here trying to figure out this guy on a short was seemingly making shells appear in his hand like magic while top loading. I wasn't sure how viable grabbing 3 shells at a time would be, but if people can do four or more, three seems reasonable.
In real life some of our heroes have been kia with empty shotguns, conventional reloading single rounds into the magazine tube is too slow and cumbersome. Had they been trained with these techniques the outcomes could have been favorable. Likewise with revolvers, it is important to know direction of cylinder rotation to deploy that 1 or 2 critical cartridges.
Why not just load the shotgun completely. Seems a lot fast, and efficient than reloading after every shot or two. It's a pump action, not a a double barrel. It can hold more than two shots.
I don't think there is a more glorious sound then the sound of a pump action shotgun.
Saltfisher 14 garand ping
Lever is a good sound too.
M1 Garand ping?
Toxic White Straight Male Bigot Winchester model 94 lever is the best sound ever
What about racking the charging handle on a M2 Browning .50 cal?

What about the side-by-side loads?
Enjoy this series a lot. Excellent teacher with amazing technique.

Excellent technique. Thanks for posting this video. I am new to CAS and this gives me some things to practice.
7:06- 7:09 RAWHIDE!!!!
Such a cool series!
That was impressive TY for sharing
Great instruction! thanks for the vids...
Great videos really like watching these I have learned many different techniques from this channel keep up the good work
Why isn't the gun loaded to capacity from the start? Or is it?
Really impressive!! Great video :D
What’s the best loading technique, with a Winchester 1866?
3:30 you flipping me off?
I will never get over the fact this thing was invented 2 centuries ago
I like that OTT method
This is Hickock43
whats the best shot for 12 gauge home protection?
The Ring Of Steel Made it all Worth While Thanks For The Tips 😀😊
This man is loading and firing a slide faster and more efficiently than some operate a semi wow
I always preferred overhanding a 97 but I'm left handed so it was always easier for me
you make it LOOK so easy
Can someone recommend a gun range that I can go to in the DC area to learn how to shoot a 12 gage SAWED off shotgun 👌🏼👌🏼
Great stuff. Hope to get a Win. 1897 sometime soon! Would love to also have a side by side.
I prefer over the top loading.
Wow.
very well done!
Awesome
Daaaaaaamn, he's a machine.
Is there a reason you don’t lode 5 in the magazine?
Competition rules. Shotgun start empty, finish empty. Penalty for any round left and misses.
Yulus Leonard thank you
Or just load the tube magazine as is intended by the manufacturer?
I doubt they can beat double barrel since the shotgun start empty.
This guy is a Certified bad ass.
👍👍
I believe those would still sell good if produced by a quility manufacturer today.
Gator Mclusky sittin on a stump hammer pulled back on a 12 gauge pump !

Man Howdy!
The audio quality in this video is about on par as a 13-year-old recording call of duty while eating his Logitech microphone.
That's cool, dickhead
This is why you don't mess with Texas.

I wish I could handle the '97 like Jim "Long Hunter" Finch
audio.
sounds like the mic was inside a tin can inside a microwave inside a 50s refrigerator inside an airstream mobile home inside a metal aircraft hanger
Hear me out. Put 6 rounds in the tube like our lord and savior John Browning intend and make pump shotguns a separate class.
Cowboy action shooting....really?
you talk funny .. no teeth ?
Don’t be an ass..
why not?
