quite the shootist

Have any of you seen this guy shoot before?

For those who don't hunt, this is a pretty graphic video of a wild boar hunt.

TJB101 · December 11, 2017, 08:35 AM

That’s crazy... great marksmanship

Joe-ker · December 11, 2017, 09:39 AM

Damn....... He's good.

griz · December 11, 2017, 04:15 PM

Pretty impressive, smooth and fast.

What kind of bears are those? I didn't know they any had that sort of saddle coloration.

Rangerrich99 · December 11, 2017, 08:59 PM

Saw a vid of this guy before. He's like a Jerry M. type but with a bolt-action rifle.

blackwidowp61 · December 11, 2017, 09:58 PM

The bears are European brown bears.

peterg7 · December 12, 2017, 08:46 AM

He certainly knows how to run a bolt gun, very efficient overall.

My question would be, how does one become this proficient? What sort of targets do you even practice on? That's crazy stuff.

SauerGrapes · December 12, 2017, 08:07 PM

Damn good shooting.

blackwidowp61 · December 12, 2017, 11:36 PM

I've seen in another of his videos that he has a setup like golfers have, where they drive their ball into a screen and it shows the flight of the ball. In his case, he has boars running across the screen and, when he shoots, the scene stops and shows where the bullet struck. He also says that his father taught him how to swing from the hips and not the shoulders, like a shotgun shooter. Really interesting to watch. I'll try to find it and post it.

pelo801 · December 13, 2017, 11:54 AM

Wow, he knows how to cycle a bolt for sure. Hes amazingly fast and accurate at the same time. Only caught a glimpse of what he was shooting. A 7mm? x64? Custom

Don Fischer · December 13, 2017, 01:01 PM

I watched a guy in Germany, military, shoot skeet and trap with a pump shotgun, never missed. But now hear this, on doubles he cycled the pump with his left hand and caught and put into a pouch on his belt the fire shell. If you weren't watching you'd swear he was using a semi auto.

blackwidowp61 · December 13, 2017, 04:15 PM

He shoots 300 Win Mag and a 7X64. Both are custom guns and I believe both have muzzle brakes. The Merkel Helix has a straight pull-back bolt, but I have seen him operate a standard bolt action just as fast. Amazing shooter.

blackwidowp61 · December 13, 2017, 04:30 PM

OK, found the video of Franz Albrecht instructing another shooter how to shoot as he does. Enjoy.

That was great, and just think of all the bacon.

blackwidowp61 · December 22, 2017, 09:40 PM

All the pulled pork and bacon you could possibly want. Yummmm!

Kreyzhorse · December 23, 2017, 07:33 AM

Impressive.

otasan · December 24, 2017, 11:52 AM

Great shooter -- one shot, one kill.

blackwidowp61 · December 25, 2017, 07:16 PM

when money is no object, you can practice all you want any time you want and you can buy any rifle you want and customize it exactly as you want it. That in itself leads to this kind of skill, but geez, it's still jaw-dropping amazing shooting!

dontcatchmany · December 25, 2017, 09:18 PM

He ain't that good...lol! If he was that good the boars would have been barbequed on the spot and there would be a set up for a pig pickin!

Just kidding. That is some good shooting.

seanc · December 26, 2017, 01:47 PM

Even if I had the time & money, I still wouldn't have the eyes & reaction speed he has. That's what separates professional athletes from duffers.

T. O'Heir · December 26, 2017, 02:26 PM

Required in Germany. A Hunter's Safety course there is a 2 year Community College course. And it includes marksmanship.

There is indeed quite a difficult/extensive exam, but I hadn't heard of a 2 year training course requirement. As far as I can tell, passing the exam is the actual requirement, not how many hours of training has been taken or how the training was administered. Do you have a link for Germany hunting requirements that includes a 2 year Community College course?

MrBorland · December 26, 2017, 10:24 PM

I never get tired of watching those Albrecht vids...

Running Boar Competition is popular in some places in Europe. I suppose that'd be a good start…

In at least one of those clips, he's shooting a Sauer 202, which is a more standard bolt design.

blackwidowp61 · January 3, 2018, 07:47 PM

Just out of curiosity, does anyone out there use this method of shooting running game (ie: swinging from behind the animal through the front of the animal in order to align your sight picture before shooting)? Would it work the same with open sights?
