[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 9480, member: 3"] Boyd I picked up a copy from Butch (worn out Butch from the looks of him) yesterday, (13 Feb 2004) my wife and I watched it last evening. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it as did my wife. Quick review: [B]Good:[/B] Showed shooting in winds and that there are misses some times. Explained some of the "errors" that lead to the missed shots. On-Screen description of the rifle(s). Bobby Hart showed and explained some cleaning tips and methods. [B]Needs work IMHO:[/B] During Bobby Hart's tip on determining barrel twist he mentions bullet/projectile weight as the (apparent most significant) indicator for barrel twist. I've long been under the belief that it's the bullet/projectile length that is the determinant. This is a nit with me but bullet weight and length are not necessarily directly related. A slow(er) twist may stabilize a flat based round nose bullet of a given weight and not stabilize a long ogive boattail bullet of the same weight. (I call these little differences "near truths" but I believe Bobby should have mentioned the "more technically correct IMHO" determinant.) [B]Major reasons I bought the movie.[/B] Watch the progression of the Point Blank from Longe Range endeavor. To see what Butch does at the end of this particular movie. I believe this is a good movie and the series shows the progression of the "PBfLR project". I thinks most folks would benefit from watching it and I'll certainly show it to my friends. It's a welcome addition to my hunting and shooting video collection. [ 02-14-2004: Message edited by: Dave King ] [/QUOTE]
