On the first video on the .577 T-Rex, most if not all had shot extensively before. I recognize some of them and the location. BTW, not to be a fussbudget, but did Gun Digest have to get permission to republish these videos for its own purposes? There are some laws on that, I believe, even if they are on the internet. Just asking.
In the video of the .577. Did any of the people that shot the gun, ever handle a firearm before?
