grand veneur;
Good morning to you sir, I see it's already tomorrow in your part of the world.
Thanks for the video link, it's interesting to see what folks in other parts of the world do as far as practical shooting preparation is concerned.
In the northern parts of BC where some people are employed to protect workers from problem bears - both grizzly and black - they run a similar course of fire with a charging bear on tracks on their annual qualifying tests.
As far as I'm aware they're running shotguns shooting slugs only and they're required to hit the charging bear 4 times as it comes at them at 40kph from a start 40m away to it's stopping at 2m.
I'd like to be able to run through a course such as that myself someday, though I have no illusions as to how sobering it would be as far as how unprepared I very likely am for a bear charge.
Thanks again sir and all the best to you in the upcoming weeks.
Dwayne

That makes sporting clays look especially boring....

Patience, it's just a matter of a relatively short time and it will be here.

Looks like a lot of fun and great practice.

No doubt and would be. I'd be using a .223 for the practice part. From the apparent distances a .22lR may work also.

Given the target (bear, hogs and moose by what I saw) and the pace of the shooting a .22 would give you good swing and site picture practice but I think for learning to run the bolt like that I'd want whatever my hunting rifle would be. I would be upset at likely losing that brass though!

Looks like a lot more fun than squeezing 100 yard groups by an eighth of an inch,or shooting at targets from prone with bipods. I thought those cans were quiet? Sounded noisy from here...... 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

After thinking about it I would have to agree on the bolt throw. Plus some bolt .22LR's are not known for working/feeding all the smoothly when worked quickly.

Wow! Fun for sure. With all the running, however, they might find my body somewhere beside the trail.
