Shooting sand sculptures for the travel channel: Southern Ohio machine gun shoot

sharpie443 · July 13, 2012, 10:18 AM

So a few months back I was at the southern Ohio machine gun shoot with American specialty ammo. We were there to shoot a sand sculpture that the people form the travel channel had maid. They moved the date of the shoot for this event. We started four hours late because the film crew and inanity we were told we could only use "Small caliber weapons".

Obviously there are some problems defining "small caliber". After showing them that it isn't going to matter what caliber we use on the sculpture they backed down on that. It was still fun despite the camera crews and the rain that washed everyone out later that day. My shoulder hurt for three days after the shoot. Probably most of that came from our full auto saiga 12Ga. Now that the show has aired i can show my video of the sculpture and events.

I'm in your video for about two seconds. That was a good time. A good good time.

My camera turned it's self off when the shooting started so all I got was a video of a count down from ten.
