Thanks for all the kind words Ed. And Welcome to the Forum too. :wink:

We are using a digital camera on a tripod. It is a Sony HD with 15x zoom. We set the camera on pause & line it up. Then go to record & that is when you hear one of us say "Go ahead' or "you're live" or whatever it is we say. :lol: Some of those are longer but in the best interest of dial up users I edit them shorter with the photobucket acc't. That last hog was the furthest of all & even on 15x it started to look small. I think our max distance will be 180-200yds with this setup. All shots were fired from round bales or shooting sticks. And yes this little 204 rocks them!! I enjoy the audible "POP" on those head shots myself. I suggest a tripod. wallmart sells nice ones cheap. So does/did Gander Mtn. Glad you like the videos & Diane says Thanks!! :wink:

Glen, I noticed in previous posts you shoot both the blitzking and v-max. What is your favorite bullet of the two?

YoteSmoker-- I highly prefer the 39gr BK. If you're talking about that 1 I shot with the 32gr V-Max I only shot that one to use it up. It was the last rd in that box of factory 32's. My 2nd choice for groundhogs would be the 40gr Berger's. The 39's just shoot a tad smaller on paper. The 39's have been the staple for me for the last couple years now.
