Beretta Bolt-Action Rifle Challenge

Beretta BRX1 offhand at 200 yards

Shooting the Beretta BRX1 bolt-action rifle offhand at 200 yards in high winds is not as easy as it looks. The design definitely helped. The Beretta BRX1 is a straight-pull rifle that cycles with a simple push and pull.

Why a straight-pull helps

  • Fast cycling: a simple push and pull keeps the rifle on target between shots.
  • Less movement: you do not have to lift and turn a bolt handle.
  • Offhand practice: shooting without a rest builds real field skills, but it is much harder in wind.

Gear

Compare scopes at OpticsPlanet, find ammo at Natchez and True Shot Ammo, and use ShellShock hearing protection at the range.

Bullet ricochets off three steel plates

In this trick shot, a bullet ricochets off three steel plates. It is a demonstration, not something to copy casually. Always use plenty of distance, safe backstops and eye and ear protection when shooting steel.

Why steel and ricochets need respect

  • Ricochets are unpredictable: a bullet can change direction and speed in ways you cannot control.
  • Distance matters: stay at or beyond the distance the target maker recommends.
  • Use the right targets and ammo: only shoot steel rated for your cartridge. See Infinity Targets.
  • Protect yourself: wear eye and ear protection, such as ShellShock electronic hearing protection.

Find ammo at True Shot Ammo and Natchez, and get range gear and cleaning supplies at Brownells.

Alligator hunting in Florida

Alligator hunting in Florida is a regulated, permit-based hunt, and it is a wild experience. In this video, a gator attacks and bites the boat. Gators are powerful, fast and unpredictable, and a hunt requires strict safety and proper permits.
