    And like all real experts, he makes it look just so very easy. Superb. Franz-Albrecht allegedly uses a .270 Win for driven boar as well, which would normally be regarded as a little small. Still, obviously, if you can shoot it well enough, it kills like a lightning strike. Does explain the lack of recoil and easy, fast shooting, too.

    Also the luxury of a well organised driven shoot by the looks of it. No safety concerns as to where the beaters and dogs could be, no walkers drifting in and out of the shoot and lovely uneven ground with backstops in every direction.

    The guy seems to shoot his rifle like you use a shotgun which is probably frowned upon by a lot of folks over here and in the UK. I for one remember dropping a running fox with the hornet and the lad who was lamping nearly got a fit....( took more than one shot in fairness ).

    Shooting on running game is like long range shooting to my mind. If you can do it, great, but it needs to be something you practise and are very familiar with. I passed up on a running deer at about forty yards a couple of months back. In retrospect, I don't know why. I had the hold perfect and followed it for plenty time to get the shot off, but I haven't practised it before. I've zero doubt she'd have eaten dirt pronto if I touched off the trigger but I'd rather not take a shot I've not practised. I have no issue with it for those that can though, and it's certainly some of the most spectacular shooting visually. Awesome to watch.

    Now I would call this world class instinctive shooting ladies and gents. That lad can shoot. :D
    He is shooting a Sauer 202 in 7mm on a driven boar hunt in Hungary.

    I knocked over 4 or 5 deer last year with running shots, missed my opportunities this year
    as you say, you need to practice
    when you get them right they can be spectacular
    never try them on an animal at more than 100yds, and always only when you are 100% sure of your backstop

    The best technique I find for them is hold and track them in the scope, with the hairs right on the front shoulder and then start squeezing the trigger
    do this until the trigger breaks... Kinda a bit like clay shooting with out the lead

    This was on last weeks episode of Fieldsports Britain,

    They used a remote control car with balloons(they only had rubber gloves blown up) attached on a clothes hanger above it and practised shooting at it with an air rifle. (cheaper to get the hang of it )

    Sure it would be a great way of practising on an authorised range with a .22;)

    God bless Aimpoint sights!!:D
    Eight round mag in Germany??Very illegal for any hunting in a rifle or shotgun.Three shots or nothing!:p Maybe thats changed for WB

    But a very fine repersentation of a driven boar shoot and how fast and furious it can get.Wherever he was shooting has a fantastic supply of Sauen.

    TBH it can be closer to shotgun shooting than rifle shooting,and you do need to be able to do running shots with the rifle.They even have a paper target shooting disipline called Running boar which simulates this type of hunting,and the pros do practise this alot or are down in the shooting simulator in the off season.BTW a running target is part of your practical German hunting test in the marksmanship section!! 7/10 shots in a vital area to pass.:eek::D
    Aimpoint or short range,wide view scopes are the ticket here,or open sights.
    Shot my first deer this season which was running @100 meters with the "trapping" method. Let the target run into the cross hairs,and touch off the round just as they are coming into the fine X hair.Carried on about 30 meters up hill and dropped dead.Perfect heart shot,and todays Sunday dinner!:D
