Buck Drops Its Antlers as Soon as Arrow Connects
https://www.wideopenspaces.com/big-buck-sheds-antlers-immediately-arrow-impact/
Have you ever seen this happen before?
Hunters often catch some pretty amazing and crazy stuff while filming their hunts. However, something like a buck’s antlers falling off from an arrow’s impact would be unbelievable if not caught on film.
On the last day of Minnesota’s deer season, a couple guys spot a nice-sized buck resting off the back of their property. They stepped outside with a bow and a camera ready to go. After letting the arrow fly, the buck’s antlers go flying from his head.
See this unbelievable moment in the video below.
I’ve seen more than my fair share of crazy videos of things happening to hunters while in the field, but a buck’s antlers falling off after being shot is a first.
That had to be a huge disappointment to the hunter who shot him as that buck would have made a very nice mount, especially after putting an arrow dead in the killzone from nearly 45 yards away.
Maybe he can duck tape or super glue the antlers back in place for a quick picture. At the very least, he has one heck of an interesting story to tell and the video to back it up.

Nosler Introduces 115-Grain 6mm Reduced Drag Factor Bullet
https://www.wideopenspaces.com/nosler-introduces-115-grain-6mm-reduced-drag-factor-bullet/
Serious competition shooters will be pleased to hear about the new 6mm Reduced Drag Factor Bullet in 115-grain that Nosler just unveiled.
Just like the name states, the Nosler Reduced Drag Factor (RDF) Bullet is designed for match shooters who want high ballistic coefficient bullets with the flattest trajectory and the least wind drift possible at long range.
Well, shooters who use 6mm cartridges just got some great news when Nosler, Inc announced that a 115-grain 6mm Reduced Drag Factor Bullet is the newest addition to their RDF line.
Designed specifically for use in rifles with a barrel twist rate of 1:7.5″ or faster, the new 115-grain Reduced Drag Factor bullet has a ridiculously high BC of .634 (G1). This is a significant improvement over the only previous 6mm RDF option, which was a 105-grain and had a G1 BC of .571.
Like all the other Nosler RDF bullets, the new 6mm bullet incorporates several key design factors that result in a sleek form factor with one of the highest BCs available anywhere for a bullet of that size.
First, the bullet has a long, drag reducing boattail. It also has a compound ogive along with what Nosler advertises as the smallest and most consistent meplats of any hollow point match bullet line, which they claim eliminates the need to trim tips.
Add it all up and you’ve got a very sleek, accurate, and easy to load hollow point boat tail (HPBT) bullet that’s perfect for rifle tournaments, like Precision Rifle Series (PRS) matches.
With the introduction of this bullet, the entire RDF bullet line now includes 70-, 77-, and 85-grain bullets in .22 caliber, 105- and 115-grain bullets in 6mm (.243 caliber), 130- and 140-grain bullets in 6.5 mm (.264 caliber), 185 grain bullets in 7mm (.284 caliber), 168-, 175-, and 210-grain bullets in .30 caliber, and 300-grain bullets in .338 caliber.
Note that Nosler’s RDF bullets are designed for long range efficiency during competition rifle matches, not for big game hunting. If you want a good long range hunting bullet, then consider the Nosler AccuBond Long Range Series instead.
But if you want match grade accuracy, flat trajectories, and great resistance to wind drift when using your 6mm Creedmoor to bang steel or punch paper, then check out the Nosler 6mm 115 grain RDF bullet.

Keanu Reeves Shows Shooting Prowess Training for John Wick Movie
https://www.wideopenspaces.com/keanu-reeves-shows-shooting-prowess-training-for-john-wick-movie/
Who knew Keanu Reeves could shoot like this?
At this point, Keanu Reeves has already staked his claim as an American badass. After two heart-pounding action franchises in “John Wick” and “The Matrix” alone, he’s earned a spot on the Mount Rushmore of action movies.
However, who knew he could actually shoot? He’s not only capable with a firearm; he could shoot competitively!
You won’t believe your eyes when you see him wield a wide variety of firearms, which includes an AR-15, a shotgun and handguns.
Watch the video below:
If you haven’t already seen “John Wick 3: Parabellum,” chances are you probably want to after watching this, right? The franchise has gained somewhat of a cult-like following after its first two acts, which appear to correlate with how Reeves spends his free time.
Shooting competitively on a course like this is no easy task, as quick shooting scenarios challenge your instincts behind the sights of a rifle, and requires elite discipline from your trigger finger.
It’s clear after watching this tactical training video from Taran Tactical that Reeves has put in a ton of work to prepare for these movies, molding himself into an unbelievable shooter.
Another cool element to the new movie and Reeves’ shooting abilities is the clear lack of a stunt double. In a lot of action movies, Hollywood actors use stunt doubles to do some of the technical work, such as shooting.
It’s exciting to know you’ll actually be watching Reeves in action.
