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.

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.

What to know before you go

  • Permits and rules: check current Florida regulations and permit requirements before you plan a hunt.
  • Safety first: a thrashing gator can damage a boat and injure people, so keep everyone clear and plan every step.
  • Be prepared: go with experienced people, and have the right gear for the water and the weather.

Bolt-Action Rifle VS Shotgun

Affiliate disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. As an affiliate, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

Bolt-action rifle vs shotgun

A long-range bolt-action rifle and a shotgun are built for very different jobs. A rifle uses a rifled barrel and a single projectile for precision at distance, while a shotgun is designed for shorter range, where a spread of shot or a slug does the work.

How they differ

  • Barrel: rifled barrels spin the bullet for accuracy, while most shotguns are smoothbore.
  • Projectile: a rifle fires one bullet. A shotgun can fire many pellets or a single slug.
  • Range: rifles reach out much farther, and shotguns are best at close to moderate distances.
  • Uses: rifles suit big game and precision shooting, while shotguns suit birds, clays and close-range work.

Gear

Compare rifle scopes at OpticsPlanet, find rifle and shotgun ammo at Natchez, and get cleaning supplies at Brownells. Use ShellShock electronic hearing protection with either.

Beretta BRX1 Trick Shot: 3 Plates, One Shot

The Beretta BRX1 is a straight-pull rifle, which means you cycle the action with a simple push and pull rather than lifting a bolt handle. That makes for quick follow-up shots, and in this video I try a trick shot: three plates with one shot. Watch above to see if it works.
