Thomas PavelkaMan this Kid can shoot! He lays down killing shots with a bolt gun faster than I've seen Chaps do it with an auto loader.I tried to embed the video but this platform is not liking it. But here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b43aF4R0h40&feature=em-share_video_user |

Alvaro Piqueras Alonso-LambertiRe: Franz-AlbrechtHi Thomas;This gu is well known here in europe (at least, many people here in Spain knows him, and hope to be in that hunting situations!) He´s a crack shooter! Many quick one shot kills, that´s the rule. As for the bolt cycling, he´s quite fast! I have thinking about posting some vids here, but never take the decission. Thanks for sharing! Please, note that he´s sometimes using a merkel RX helix, a "straight" bolt action rifle, similar to the blaser system, so you just have to pull and push the bolt, don´t need to lift up and down the bolt handle. As for quick bolt... take a look!! I don´t understand nothing in this vid, but this is near full-auto speeds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC4_g6N3aLA |

Thomas KitchenRe: Franz-Albrechtthats some fast shooting must take alot of practice to get that fast.those merkel helix rifles a pretty crazy with the cog and rails in it (from memory read a review in a mag) the ratios change so for every inch you move bolt handle bolt moves 2 inches |

Mike DavisRe: Franz-AlbrechtI take it its the clip of chap shooting pigs/hogs as they run past using a tripod???? seen a few clips of this chap and yes he can shoot but bet Nathan could do as good with his old SMLE at the ranges they are shot and a fella who knew his 94 30/30 would give it a good push too. the tripod is really trick piece of kit. I shoot wallabies with my bolt action .223 at similar ranges on the run and they arent in open ground like that.did you spot the calibre used?????? pretty serious type of artillery for animal at 100yards and under. love to see a guy standing next to him with .444 marlin guide gun to give comparison. |

Thomas PavelkaRe: Franz-AlbrechtMikeI believe he was using a 7X64 and a 300 Win Mag for this clip. In the 300 he was using GMX bullets. Want to say I saw another of his vids where he was using a 375 H&H. He does slap the snot out of them rooters. |

Alvaro Piqueras Alonso-LambertiRe: Franz-AlbrechtHi Mike;Don´t now if Nathan can do as good or even better, but I´m sure no many people can do this! He´s shooting offhand, and not just killing the first boar he saw, he´s choosing intended ones as targets. For sure he has a lot of practice, there´s no better way to learn! I know that i will never shoot that way... Ok, maybe the lotto can hep to me to increase mi skills! He´s using mostly RWS ammo, as they suported him, as Merkel, Sauer and Aimpoint optics do. Allso, I don´t consider that to be open land. Many people tend to use big cartridges ("overkill") during driven hunts, as they can´t put the shot allways in the right place, and because the animals run full of adrenaline, so kill them in the spot is more difficult. Probably there are other important factors to consider, for example practice (just a few go with their rifles to a shooting range), recoil or just confirm the POI of your rifle/ammo/optics (many, for example, change brand of ammo, bullet style and weight) and assume their POI to be the same. I have helped shooters (hunters) in the shooting range when they are quite nervious, as their rifle didn´t touch the paper (let´s say, 30x30") at 110 yds, the day before going out to hunt. But, that´s the reason why they tend to use big cartridges. Have you guys seen the vid of the "semi-auto" Krag Jorgensen? The middle finger trigger pull looks right in the vid... i have tryed it at home, not so nice! |

Thomas PavelkaRe: Franz-Albrecht6 seconds, 5 shots, 5 dead boars. Now that's impressive. The lad works that bolt so fast you can hardly see it.I notice he has a huge muzzle break on what looks like a 26 inch barrel. When you watch him shoot the rifle seems to have very little recoil. I have shot a lot of Russian boars and considering these are driven and running I don't think he is placing bullets spot on every one of the rooters. Yet at the shot they do a face plant or flip over and are stone dead. One has to wonder how much of a lead he has on some of those porkers as they book out for parts unknown. Reminds me of pass shooting ducks. Just simply outstanding! |

Jacob JensenRe: Franz-AlbrechtFranz Albrecht Von Spielberg is prince of Germany. I guess he spents most of his hours and money (awake and a sleep) shooting boars. Never the less he is in a league of his own. His approach to shooting and hunting is ethical, methodic and volume! Practice, practice, practice....Maybe it's just one out of a hundred takes where he succeeds....but no no...there are almost hundreds of takes where he actually succeeds! As mentioned earlier - the most impressive thing about him is that he shoots all the right animals - ethical. He even says it to the cameraman before he opens fire.... Elite shooting (when hunting) is not to hit your mark once in a while - even in difficult conditions. Elite shooting is deffined by repeatable accurazy. To know when not to shoot. To know when to shoot and how to do it. In the Wild Boar Fever series Franz explains how he prepairs for every hunt and every stand. It's about being in the zone, and to be mentally prepaired. Yeah i guess several people could do what he does - but can they do it when there is a camera crew standing on your back? Everybody expecting you to performe and that "once in a lifetime chance" shows in front of you....? Hmmm guess not. It's elite!!! In Wild Boar Fever 4, Franz shoots a custom made Sauer 202 in cal. 270W. He uses factory ammunition from RWS with Keilspitz 130grain. (fragmentating bullet). His rifle has a 8 or 10 round magazine (se link below to one of the best seance ever) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mOgXcffC3ow J. |

Thomas PavelkaRe: Franz-AlbrechtJacob, One thing is for certain, when that young man is out there after those boars you know there is going to be one heck of a pile of piggies when he's done.He's so fast on that bolt I can't even clock it on a stop watch. |

Nathan FosterRe: Franz-AlbrechtHi Thomas, it was certainly good shooting and good tutoring. He had a very nice way about him. The Jamie Oliver of killing.I think it is important to keep in mind that we can each achieve a desirable level of skill if we are able to practice. Of course, there is a big difference between a man trying to hold down a job and shoot when he can versus this young man who is sponsored, has access to the latest indoor facilities and also access to high game numbers where other European hunters wait half a lifetime just to see one wild boar and equally long just to use the local range. In NZ, one of the best ways we can get practice is possum shooting with the .22. I am at my best when regularly paddock shooting possums. I think this has helped a great deal when shooting running boar. I don't get to shoot running boar that often because we do not have folk drive them across a shooting stand as is done in Germany. So running shots on boar are somewhat less frequent. When they do occur, the animals tend to be going at diagonals such as down and away. Anyway- if anyone wants to emulate this, as the lad says, plenty of dry fire practice and then field work. Air rifle is good for recoil, the .22 is a good way to keep costs down. The .223 and that FMJ ammo the U.S government loves is ideal for low cost but with a bit of noise in order to uncover flinches. Trail Boss loads are great too. As for targets- varmints are a natural target. When I was young and used a bow, I had a ball on a long line extending high into the tree. There was a high bank behind the tree so I was very lucky to have this as a back stop. I used to swing it long, run back, then fire. Not the best for heart rate though. Its amazing the things we come up with. Just don't sell yourselves short. |

Jacob JensenRe: Franz-AlbrechtSorry - I had my facts wrong (thanks to a fellow member). He uses RWS 130gr H-mantel in his 270W and not Keilspitz - wich by the way is spelled Kegelspitz ;-)J. |
