Zipline Target Shooting is up and Beyond
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 10/17/2017 | E Nestor

Are you bored of doing your shooting practice at an old range?, need a shot of adrenaline?

Well, why not shoot from a zipline? In a video FourGuysGuns posted on Facebook, we see a different way to approach competition shooting. But for those familiar with the MGM Ironman competition, its part of the norm. These competitors don’t just do the ziplining, they get to climb up an obstacle just to shoot at another target from a far.

Strange as it may seem, a zipline allows shooters to fly along and engage targets. This shooter fires at targets as he zips along like superman. How cool is that? Would you try it?

Yes, we know it may not be a practical thing to do for upping your personal defense repertoire. But, for a change of pace, it definitely sure looks fun doing. Would you try it out? See the zipline target shooting video here.

What can go wrong?

Hope the observers are appropriately shielded.

Whew! When I saw the title I thought it was shooting AT the zipline.
Did a zipline in Ohio. It was a blast. This looks to be even more.fun.

That’s what I thought too. Had immediate naughty thoughts of Hilary and M/M Obama on the zip line and me with a bump stock.

Would I do that?

In a heartbeat.

Dave Barry, the humorist once wrote about a bunch of guys at a small airfield. They would park an old beater car at the end of the runway, fly low and drop a bowling ball out the window to try to hit the car.

Similar fun.

Oh, I thought he meant shoot the zip-line riders from the ground as they go by.

in my unorthodox gunfighting class, one drill was shooting while on a treadmill. i hit the silhouette but, given i have hardly ever been on a treadmill, spent as much time focused on how to walk as on target.
