My ex-wife's father use to compete. Back then, at least, almost everyone that I saw had a "deflector shield" as part of their holster (to protect from a "too quick" shot). I only see it in a couple of frames of one of Munden's videos. It doesn't appear that many people use them anymore. Here is a screen shot from one of his videos that shows what I am talking about

I just noticed. It looks like his shield has been "used" at least once :crackup:

Even though I think he is really doing it, the advantage of having the holster at such a forward angle is part of the "trick". No it's still incredible skill with the holster position "cheating".

Yeah. Once something becomes a "competition", it begins to lose relevance to reality. You could not ride a horse with one of those competition holsters (and keep your gun), eh? :crackup:

Peace,

its not a trick. it is really happening. that is the style of the quick draw. it is like saying it is a trick to have such a powerful engine in a drag car, and not a for focus engine.

and when these shooters aren't going for speed records, you should see how accurate they really are. its amazing.
 


Today we went to Waimea beach and got to watch something cool. The beach sits at the base of a valley which has a small stream running through it. Due to wave action, sand gets pushed up into a large hill in front of the stream each winter. This creates a natural dam that the stream water collects behind for months which is about 20 feet above the level of the ocean on the other side of the sand berm. Every year some one digs a trench through the sand releasing millions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean. This produces a standing wave which is perfect for body boarding and surfing on. When we first walked up these kids had just a trickle of water moving through a trench about a foot wide they had been digging for quite a while. Within 20 minutes it had turned into a roaring torrent. It was amazing to watch how fast it grew and ate away the banks. It all lasted about an hour before the water slowed down but it was fun watching the action.

^ just awesome, never seen something like that before done without hydro-ilcs!
 
Great way to have some fun. :)
I actually surfed that spot many years ago(Waimea), but not with this interaction. During some months, barring winter the waves are reasonable for amateurs to ride. Lots of fun!
 
Well, now you know how to create a river :p

Never underestimate the potential power of water :p :D
 
They used to do it in the Isar kanal in Munich, but I think it's verboten by now.:shhh:

It's probably cause you can never know what can happen with the time, doing similar waterflow variations (erosions, infiltrations, ground destabilization, and so on).

This also remember me a thing i've read times ago on a history book ..... that this system was used in the old times in zones like Louisiana and similar, where there was cotton fields, for ruin companies :p :D
