Bedell open gun in slow motion

Recommended Posts

I borrowed a friend's EX-F1 and took a video of me shooting my Bedell open gun at 600 frames per second. It's really cool to see the shell casings come out in a nice little line. No wonder my casings always end up in a nice little pile when shooting from one position. Enjoy!

You also might be interested in seeing me shoot my .460 in slow motion. It gives a whole new meaning to "open gun". (It does have a comp).

S&W .460 Check out my hand/wrist when the round goes off. It looks worse that it feels.

Very nice bro. That is extreme slow mo. I noticed the ejection also. The brass comes out perfectly and it's obvious there's a nice little pile of brass on the ground.

Other than that, it's totally cool to see that the gun actually dips DOWN at the end of the recoil cycle.

My thoughts also. I was marking the monitor to look at the angles of recoil. Interesting!

One word: Tripod.

Word ;)

Its called "over timing the gun" ;):lol: It can be cured via timing drills.... :)

Interesting video. I would be interested to see the same gun with a steel one piece guide rod in it. The Recoilmaster whips around what appears to be a bunch. Would a steel guide rod do the same? Just curious.

CYa,

XRe,

Maybe the gun has a recoil spring a little heavier than it needs?

Unless its super heavy, its just a timing thing ;) That whole notion of shooting a Bill Drill and judging the spring from where the holes end up on the target is fundamentally flawed due to a failure to account for timing. I kind of doubt that he's got something as heavy as 20# in there, so... :)

ETA - one of the really cool things about high speed vid is that it lets us actually see stuff like this ;) vettman1 could also learn some things from comparing the video to his perception of the dot movement (ie, does he see it dip down past point of aim on each shot). Someday, I'll convince shred to come out to the range with me and bring his camera along... I've been curious about how I actually do some things, too... :D

The spring is the standard light recoil spring that comes with a recoil master.

I can see the dot move up and then down past the point of aim.

I have no idea exactly what my splits are, but I'd figure when I'm shooting at the fastest rate they're somewhere between .14 and .2. That's where I usually am when I'm shooting fast, but it's only a guess so take it for what it's worth.

If you look at some other videos that I've posted there is one of me shooting a 1911 in .45 and a buckmark pistol .22. The .45 dips as well. Probably because I'm over compensating for the recoil. Funny thing though, you don't see the .460 dip down... :-) of course my spit times are much longer when I'm shooting that.

One last thing to note, Dan makes a top notch, quality gun and it's fun to see go slow. I think that is mostly because when you normally see Dan's guns, they're going so fast!

That's exactly it ;) Spend some time on some timing drills (say that 20 times fast ;) ), and you'll find the gun going up, and then returning to point of aim... And your splits will generally tend to be faster at that point... ;)

Well, there's kind of a difference between shooting a handgun, and a piece of field artillery... :lol:

That's you too !!! :P

(That gun ain't holding itself up there at a 35d angle after the shot. ;) )

Burkett's timing drills really are the shizzle.

Not enough people do them, and not enough people do them often enough. I probably wouldn't do too many with the 460, though. :o
