Damn this will knock you socks off, oops earmuffs.

This is a good Range Safety Video. Please read before watching.

Turn the sound up.........you can hear the bullet head back. Watch in full screen to see it better. This is a very, very lucky shooter.

This guy is shooting a 50 CAL single shot. Watch the dust when he fires. The target is a steel plate 1000 yards away. You can hear the ping of the hit, and then the bullet comes back and hits the ground just in front of his position, then tumbles up hitting the earmuffs, knocking them off of his head. The footage is amazing. You can hear the bullet as it tumbles through the air on its course back toward the shooter. He's lucky it hit the dirt first. He is okay, and obviously very lucky. The bullet grazed his temple. What a difference a half an inch makes!

100 yards away, according to madogre's blog.

100 yards away, according to madogre's blog.

Yeah there's no way that is 1000yds away. Think about the speed of sound. At sea level, the speed of sound is 375.11 yards per second. At 1000 yards, the sound from the bullet hitting the plate would take 2.66 seconds to get back to the camera.

100yds sounds much more realistic.

Yeah, I was going to say 100 yds is believeable. 1000, no way.
