John Millar's 4 bore Firing Videos!
#240566 - 13/01/14 10:42 PM

Is this the fellow who built his own 4 bore? Going from the description on the video it is.
Warning: Sound may be umm...exciting to some :P

He handles the recoil well.

But is he shooting grouse or something with his lead up to the shots?

The recoil moves Cal back well. Is that Cal or someone else?

You would have to have a crack if the opportunity came up. That first guy did handle the recoil well.

Cal is shooting Omni-Bobs 16lb single barrel 4 with a full load. Millar's double weighs 20+ lbs and the load may be "light".

Thanks. Yep recoils got to go somewhere. The photos I posted of David here in SA shooting his .600 some time ago show him flying back. But he still is also on target which is what counts no matter if it moves the shooter back.

I grabbed the wrong video. You're right Gatsby that is Rob's rifle.
I'll see if I can find the one with Cal's Hughes 4 bore DR.
