I've been shooting over 50 years. All sorts of guns. I'm continually amazed at what a good shot H45 is shooting from standing.
Practice, practice, practice.
Yup. That group from a standing unsupported position is very impressive. Once again, we see how versatile a shotgun is. Not only is there nothing better at close range (including NFA guns), but you can make shots at ranges that usually take a rifle to reach.
He’s tall too
Much harder as a tall man. Trust me.
This man is amazing
You and everyone else my coworker and friends bring it up all the time
That group with any shotgun/slug combo is amazing. The fact he is 13ft tall only makes it more difficult.
well i guess the old myth of shotgun-slugs dropping like a brick after 100 yards and rendered unusable just got destroyed...glad it was hickok 45 who did it.
Ask Taofledermaus. 300 yd arc then they just fall almost straight down.
Well they are like cannon balls. They have an arc. You can get them out to 300 yards but you probably have to hold above your target. Like a cannon.
I've had birdshot rain down on me dove hunting from who knows how far. 250 300 yards at least.
@@joshdelcomyn8274 all of these comments are noteworthy and accurate!!!
I've taken plenty of hogs and white tails at 350 400 yards with my 10ga and never hesitate to do it. These people that say 100yds for shotguns they obviously have done very little shooting or have no clue how to load their ammo or have never been deer or hog jacking
230 yards. That’s more yards than the Cleveland Browns got all last year.
hahahaahah!
Lol
Chuckle chuckle, a football joke, chuckle chuckle 🙄
The Jets are 0-11.
...whjat this "last year"??? More like last 10 years...
hit the same hole twice with a second round shot at 230 yards! I had to rewind it to make sure. i'm convinced now , you are very accurate shooter man
Even though I was shooting at the same target, hitting the same hole had to be a bit of luck. :-)
Soslan Dambegov I hate to be a downer but I think that round went off the right side of the target and still hit the side of the can. I was thinking the same thing at first tho.
Yah rewatching it you can see a brown puff like 6-8 inches to the right and when he zooms in further you can see a black hole to the right. The movement probably made the hole appear at a larger angle.
antongirdeux07 yea it would be once in an ice age that the slug would go thru another
@@hickok45 You know what they say " practice makes lucky." Great shot. Take credit. That shot deserves an award.
“We will see if I can actually hit it” *proceeds to hit dead center first shot*
Then put another one through the same hole. Impressive.
@@thatguy22441 No he don't
@@Day12My he did
@@saullucio600 I thought he did too but he didn't, second shot hit well to the right and changed the angle the light reflected off the first impact hole.
Why are people overly using the word "proceeds" now in comments?
Oh my god Hickock put two slugs through the same hole.
Pops sure can hit that!
techytech1 but Pops is sure hitting it! :)

Amazing. This dude just has a good energy.

Why was this recommended to me 9 years later?
Better late than never
David Shaw Alright.
13 yearling for me☠️
At 3:27 he has an obvious flinch.. not surprising shooting 12 gauge slugs. Point is we all flinch a bit. He obviously has mastered it that it occurs after the trigger is pulled. He's right on the money by saying slugs can be very accurate. During qualifications several guys could touch holes on occasion at 50 yards in prone and kneeling positions with an old Remington 870 pump with rifle sights. However, no one seemed to enjoy it like he does.. That said, hitting a target at 230 yards offhand w/slugs is a feat not many could duplicate with consistency. Most impressive. Love the enthusiasm in the snow....
he flinches a lot, almost every time a shot doesn't go off and he jokes about it all the time
I watched your first two shots over and over, even in slow motion. Your second round went through the same hole as your first shot. Your first nine or ten shots hit their mark. Nice shooting!
Smoothbore being that accurate at that range is amazing. Shotguns seem very versatile.
Taoflaudermaus does a videos explaining why a 12 gauge is THE most versatile gun one can own.
Nope, this is cod and your shotgun only works in 5 meters range.
@@topsykrets2438 A 12g pump* Because not all 12 gauge semi autos can handle all loads and cycle. Pumps cycle everything though.
@@donaldmack2307 so you're saying that pump shotguns are better than semi autos for more accurate shooting at further ranges right ?
@@islamkerimov61 No. Im saying a pump can generally cycle a more diverse range of ammunition better than semi autos. Once you find the right ammo for your semi it may not matter all that much, though.
You folks do such an excellent job explaining and hands on training and demonstrating the guns and ammo ! Thank you !
Standing position, 230 yards, with irons... I'd be happy with this group out of a rifle, let alone a shotgun!
Come to Ohio we shoot like this all the time I'm not surprised it's all we can hunt with till recently
You must not shoot very often then. 230 yards is a feat with a shotgun and slugs, not a rifle.

Excellent filming and editing. Hickock you are a hero to gun owners all over the world. May God continue to bless us with your presence.
I’m very Impressed, he did that off hand, he would have been Lethal in Combat.
whenever i see him shoot i think the same thing. this guy is McNasty with any type of weapon! damn surgeon i tell yah
He never served
How R U hickok45 what a great shot when I got back from Iraq I really was not looking to watch someone shooting but I'm a paralyzed vet now and been looking at online videos to learn how and what cheep weapon (s) I could use to protect my family and me I came across yours. Big Thanks for all shooting and protecting lessons you give
Simper fi Sir
WHEAT H brother we pray for you and yours. I got your 6. Just remember your still the wepon. The gun is just a tool.
Thank you for your service brother
Thank you brother for your service.
I hope you're doing alright with life I'm sure it doesn't mean much but thank you for putting this country ahead of everything you're a true hero
Thank you for your service,
Nice aiming trick, learned something new today, I'll have to try it.
Wow...long range consistent hits with a shotgun. Seeing is believing. Mr 45 can really shoot.
Guy dates the daughter and hickok 45 is like bring her back by 10, (shoots slug 260 yards and hits gong) guy is like i will have her back by 8
🤣🤣🤣
I would imagine that the guy would be shaking like a leaf and frequently checking the time during the date with the daughter.
His daughter properly 6'4" n everyone she dated are 5'6"
He'll the way he shoots I would have back at 6.00. He probably chaperones the date, wearing a Smith & Wesson model -29 44 mag.. he carries
Date gets canceled cause he just wants to shoot guns with hickok!
You should do more long range reverse angle shots, I like hearing the gunshots in the distance and the impacts up close, interesting way of mixing things up.
This old man is living the life. I really wish one day I can retire and just make videos like him.
If I were limited to one gun, it would be a 12ga.
right on brother! me too! and many people don't know it,but for home defense or close range, #4 shot will stop anything or anybody in their tracks. of course, I use a slug or buckshot for deer.
+Josie Wales Shotgun is the most versatile weapon ever made.You can use birdshot,buckshot,slugs....only gun that can hunting all game from flying birds and running rabbits to wild boars, and also maximum stopping power for self defence.
Personally I'd take a 20. Now I just got a Savage 24J-DL .22mag/20ga, and I think that might be the one gun that can do everything.
where would a fellow find these adaptors that you speak of? and,wouldnt they hurt the barrel?
JOKER where could a feller find those adaptors in which you speak of?
I've been shooting a shotgun for 55 years and can't touch that! What a guy! I sure love watching his videos.
Love the part about returning fire with shotgun slugs at a sniper. I can imagine how that would go down.
Sniper thinks: That guys has a shotgun. I've got a 308 sniper rifle. He can't touch me. I'm 230 yards away from him. Boom. Boom Boom. Sniper falls over in the snow with three slug holes in his chest. Hickok reloads and walks away.
That's great shooting! I love watching you shoot. Thanks for all the videos that you make. Thanks also for explaining how you used the sights to make the shot. Very impressive. Keep up the good work. Your son never gets enough credit for his camera work. You guys make a great team!
Frost two shots same hole, and notice that he didn't flinch at all on the dry fire. That's so vital on precision shooting. Focus and smooth pull. I'm actually a way better shot because of this man
Mr 45. Love the videos, great topics and love seeing real world demonstrations. Learned alot in this one, never thought a smooth bore would go so long, gives me ideas for my marlen goose gun. Great shooting keep it up.
You can brag all you want on that one, you deserve it! It is called lots of hard work practice
hahaha there is that chicken i can never hit xD ''kicks it down''
hickok i want to thank you for all the countless videos you have made for us :) shotgun smooth-bore sniping :D
This is what routine shooting gets you. Practice hones your skills.
That is ridiculously impressive. Nice shooting.
Folks, that was some miraculous marksmanship right there! 690 feet, and he made a nice group on a desktop? I can't believe how much steam those slugs still had on them at that distance! Those holes look like they were shot at point blank. I figured that sighting technique of his out as a kid with a BB gun! It has served me well aiming firearms. Thanks for all the great video, H45!
"There's that chicken I can never hit." (Kicks it over.) Lovely!
I really do appreciate these older videos with the Super 90. Love to see it some more--gorgeous gun.
“Life’s really good” love it
Hickok 45 Has become a Legend, a Real straight Shooter...
Thanks for explaining where you aligned the sights. I'd have seriously overestimated the drop and would be shooting way over the target.
hickok45--> I would not want to downstream of your firearm! It would be curtains for anyone trying to challenge you in a gun fight. You are a man's man when it comes to shooting. Love your videos, both yours and your son. God bless.
THANK YOU...I Just learned that at 230 yds. the slug and sound of travel are almost equal..... love the channel, keep up the great work..
Shotguns are probably some of the most underestimated weapons in the world. Even though they're much more accurate and can shoot 230 yards when loaded with slugs, a bunch of pistol and rifle fanboys (usually CoD fanboys) hate on shotguns, because when it comes to shotguns, they can only think of shotguns loaded with pellets.
The Zoniel Zone ive shot all sorts of configurations and nothing beats a slug going down range from a good pump action
What about cut-shell ammo bros? I've seen videos in which they did the same stuff as slugs - 1 entry hole only - up to 20m. Tales say they've been used to hunt down elks and bears which require much longer distance than that. However in reality I've never seen any one did it at longer range, 50m is fine, so I really hope you guys get any info on this...
"00" buckshot look out.
Zone of Zoniel also the cod crowd thinks that pellets spread far faster than i reality.
Garrett - in open field combat you very well could be right but in close quarters combat i.e clearing houses/caves a shotgun with 00 buck and magnum load is mean. Slugs up close are viscious also.
Shots 1&2 were in the same hole. Watch the hole after the first shot get a little bigger!!! Hickock is the man!
" heres that chicken I can never hit"..then kicks it over... hahaha awsome
6:23
That'll teach that chicken!!!
Shooting the table at 230 yards was impressive but what really blew me away was when I passed your house the other day and seeing you and John throwing the football, and you were throwing the same 230 yards while John was actually making the catch! Very nice Hickok45.
I'd like to know who the 68 people who disliked this video are? Don't hate on the Hickok!
? Don't know great vid.
Justin Bieber fans and felons that can’t possess firearms.
Theyre Jealous people who cant believe he did it
"Tree-huggers" and Globalists (one in the same), obviously.
Jealous of his shooting
You put 2 slugs through the barrel to the right of the target. 2 in the same hole.
SAME F#CKING HOLE. 230 yards.
yea i saw that also
Wow!
Impressive to say the very least. I certainly appreciate the tip about using the sight that way to compensate for the distance. Keep up the great work and thank you
Who would think that you can shoot a 12 gauge smooth bore shotgun with solid round, accurately at 230 yards?
My Remington 870 Express Magnum 20 Ga.with a 21" fully rifled barrel shooting 3" sabot "slugs" is an incredibly effective multipurpose weapon for "varmints." It will drop a 180 lb. Whitetail in it's tracks at 150 yards. With my 20" smooth bore barrel installed shooting various sizes of buckshot is an effective home defense weapon. My 20 Ga. Magnum pump with 2 barrels and a one piece extended 7 round magazine covers the bases really well and my slug barrel has a 2-7x32mm scope. Shooting @230 yds. Is a piece of cake. Since acquiring my Rem. 870 Magnum I have not hunted Whitetails with my 30-30 levergun. I am 71 years old and only hunt whitetails. I do plan to get another 870 20 ga. and shorten the stock, swap out the magazine to a one piece 7 rounder to use as an easily carried self defense weapon that provides excellent "stopping" power. The selling point for me is that all Rem. 870's have a steel reciever. It is my opinion that firearms are made from steel. Not Aluminum Alloy or Polymers.
I am "Old Scool."
Love the anticipation between shot and seeing it land. Like a game of battleship.
And some thought putting a scope on a shotgun was stupid....
Hickok has that awe shucks way to explain the accuracy of his work, because he has no idea how we mortals perform.
Correction Hikock. If we had a Smooth Bore, Iron Sight, Shotgun with Slugs and a Hikock45 shooting it we would be safe from terrorist sniping at us from 230yards.
Wow, Sniper Hickok at work !! A 1 oz slug (437.5 grain !!) packs a massive wallop, over NINE times the energy of a 147 grain 9mm (both calculated at exiting the barrel).
Keyholes 1st and 2nd "we'll probably hit all around it" man what a shot!!!
Sorry he didn't key hole anything he was 8" to the right.....:) The countertop moved so it looked like he hit the same hole. 7:31
Thanks Hickok. I always hold over or under to adjust for range if I need to, but my dad always did like you say and will adjust his sight picture to allow for distance.
This is an older video now, but I'd not seen it yet. Well done and awesome shooting.
"Hold my beer"......
got to love the way he chuckles
Mister 45, you just so humble. I hate missing on a day like that.
Too many people for too long have had it beaten into them that the shotgun is a short range weapon when it comes to anything, hunting, defense etc. When Ithaca brought out the Deerslayer in 1959, they designed it in mind with long range deer hunting out to 100 yards or better. They made it so that it could group the same as a .35 Remington out to 100 yards. I have killed deer with slugs before but not out to extreme ranges. The shotgun I think is the most versatile of long guns especially for those of us who live in the mountains where a long shot is maybe 150 yards or so.
+4nuk8r you can't shoot buckshot out of a rifled barrel.
@@thelegalmexicanca9171 you can... but the safest place to be is dead center in front beyond 50 yds or so. They gonna SPIN like a corkscrew !!!
You don't want to mess with this dude. Holy crap. That is AWESOME shooting. 👍🇺🇸
ALWAYS someone better eh Gary... I must have missed the part where he said he was hunting deer.
I would like to see his 230 yard slug video, even with that scope and rifled barrel.
That’s impressive !
When he talked about the rear sight to front site eye adjust it came to mind that I've been using that same method since forever. I'm a pretty good shot even still at 65yrs but hickok45 is an excellent shooter. He's pretty amazing.
Love it. My first shot would of done the camera...lol
It might have
"Oops. I just shot the camera. It's only a thousand dollar. It doesn't matter."
I saw this 6 years ago and I'm still in awe!
If you review the video I believe you hit the same spot twice!
I bought a Barretta 626 12 gauge side by side with a 26 " barrel. I discovered after leaving my regular slug gun at home that it was the best . I took one buck at 85 yards with it. I benched it as a joke one time and at 70 yards with riffed slugs it was in a 6" circle. To me a side by is best in it fire's like a rifle. I'd love to have a 270W side by rifle. I'm not sure I'd put slugs though anything other than a quality shotgun,but I was told that my Barretta has no problem with them . Improved or skeet chokes only and no sabots in a non rifled barrel.
A man sized target...at 230 yards with slugs....good lord you are just some different breed of human!! Amazing shooting!!
Good shooting mate!
Back in the 80's & 90's my neighbor , a well respected farmer would deer hunt each year and get his deer limit. He said he used slugs only and could bring em down from 150 yrds. Or less on one shot, i liked him alot but thought he bluffing, now i know old mr. Henning was a real marksman.
In lower Michigan the shotgun has been the main weapon for deer hunting until recent years. I have a 12 ga. Mossberg 600akt (simular to the 500) smoothbore shotgun with iron sights. I have shot many deer around the 150-175 yard range on our farm with just plain standard 2 3/4" 1 oz. slugs. The farthest I shot a buck with it was 200 yards. Been hunting since the 1980's. Love iron sights.
"Country boy can survive"
I don't know of anyone that can shoot as good as Hickok.
I would never want to get into a fire fight with Hickock he will probably end right away that aiming he has is on point
Haaa Life is good...… is good to be the King!!!
One of my first Hickok videos ... still great! Salute!
270 yards a very long distance for a smoth bore 12 gauge still the shooter is expert and confident. A very rare video indeed.
Love from Pakistan😍
I carried and shot (monthly qualification) a Benelli 90 when I was in the service. We had the select fire models in 12 gauge. Very nice weapon. Good video and as always.....keep shooting.
As always, Hickok45 quality !!
Greetings from San Isidro, Argentina
Watching this reminded me of our duck hunting trip, which turned into an unbelievable Shotgun slug shot by my dad. We were on our way home from duck hunting and Dad who had better than 20/20 vision and was an avid hunter in northeastern Alberta Canada suddenly stop the car and told us to stay and not make any noise, he loaded the Winchester in the car a 12 gauge with a slug and slowly got out of the car he aimed squeezed off the shot, we couldn't see the deer so we didn't see it fall. He comes back to the car and says we have to go gut and quarter up a deer. He told me later that he put the ball at the end of the barrel on his forehead and raised it about what he thought would be the drop and eased off the shot adding it was pure luck. When we got to the deer he had hit it right between the eyes and we paced it off at 135 paces. When I was a kid I hunted with my Dad as his retriever and many many times he would get 3 ducks with 3 shots.
"Slug play".....I dig it. There needs to be an Olympic event called Slug Play, with events at 100, 200 and 400 meters. Maybe have individual, team and synchronized formats. And maybe an artistic format where you try to shoot a cool pattern.
*Generally accepted precepts "12 ga. Slugs good to 75 yards." H45, lets try 230 yards. LMAO!*
It helps when you're the Bob Ross of firearms. Nice shooting Mr.45!
Thank you. Nice to know that range with that gun. Also nice to see your hold wasn't like a for a mortar.
Please never stop making these videos!
I used to shoot slugs and I didn’t care if I hit the target or not, I just loved the recoil. You felt like you were shooting something!!
Here in 2020. Haven't seen anyone do this yet! Hello Hickock.
this video should be in the category of if it wasn't filmed you wouldn't believe it. all my life with a shot gun never in my life believed this could be done.
My older brother was a name vet he would mount older Weaver scopes on his mod.37ithacas and they were deadly accurate with him behind them he used standard Remington slugs and they got the job done just fine.
3:23 not talking crap because this man can shoot anything like a pro, but damn that was a hella flinch!
Good stuff mr hickok. I would have not hit the snow at that distance. In S.A. i have not fired a slig through any of my shotguns. Am going to try now.👍👍
Slug.
I have a Remington 870 tactical smooth bore, 16 inch barrel. I've been interested in slug shooting with it. You have given me a baseline to start with, where to hold. Thank you for what you do.
I’m impressed !
How many practice shots before the presentation Hickcock?
If I hadn't seen it, I would have never dreamed it possible. Sir, you have some skills!!
Years ago a fella barreled a bench gun for 12g. and was shooting slugs into ridiculously small groups.
I shot this heavy steel lid from some kind of box near a railroad track with a .22 - it’d scratch the paint off. Shot it with a 12 gauge slug and it put a huge hole in it. Slugs are crazy powerful.
This is awesome! I started making slugs when ammo went AWOL, all I have now is a few hand guns, a 22lr rifle, a pump shotgun,a bolt action shotgun and quite a few single shots. I'm glad that with practice it's not impossible.i never tryed over 200 because the misconception is don't try it over 100 yards or it won't work.ill have to go shooting some more and try some new stuff!
Man that was 3 right around the same hole.. that is just good shooting
Thats impressive 👏 230 yards standing with a slug . Woooowwee!
Couldn't tell from firing camera how accurate you were that second camera was awesome placement
The drum was hit hard. Great video. Thanks.
Hickock is a legend and he is right slugs are a lot of fun and if you want something to drop it will if you hit it will a slug.
