Need a light thread as I am finishing taxes, writing checks and dealing with other stuff today.
The idea is to name/describe times in your life when crazy or fun things have happened and you wish you had a video camera.
I'll start with one. A friend of mine and I were out just screwing around shooting, looking for critters and going from field to field in a 4x4 (snow covered). In the distance (about .75 of of a mile away) we see a black ditch tiger slinking across a field.
I had my 92FS on my side and wanted to get rid of this pest on the farm. Buddy was driving like a mad man to get to it. Mind you these fields are ROUGH and he is going 40 (don't buy used company trucks. Lol). It was finally in "range" but he was driving straight at it. No matter what they show in movies shooting forward in a truck on bumpy terrian and having any kind of sight picture is next to impossible. Especially since the jig was up and the cat was dodging and weaving.
When within 30 yards I told my buddy to slide the truck sideways...he did. It was like a moment in the Matrix. It was all slow-mo. The truck skidded sideways and I leveled the the sights and spun him with the first shot and made one giant eye hole with the second.
Two shoots, two hits in a moving vehicle. Wished I had a video camera....
