About four years ago, one of my editors sent me a link to a YouTube video where a beautiful, ponytailed young woman named Kirsten Joy Weiss shot balloons on the roadside with a .22 rifle while speeding past on the back of a motorcycle. “Wow,” I thought, “where did that girl learn to shoot?!?”
I later learned that her air and smallbore rifle competitive shooting had earned her plenty of medals and brought her to world championships and the brink of the Olympics.
Since that first video, and scores more exciting content that followed on YouTube, Weiss has made a reputation for herself as a performance shooter, compelling advocate of shooting sports, and articulate spokeswoman for the Second Amendment by sharing “the fun, challenge and joy of shooting” with her audience.
Her talent is unmarred by arrogance and she humbly shares her misses along with her hits. She comes across as genuine, rather than a character, and that is the wellspring of her appeal.
She is not a self-important and self-proclaimed celebrity using the internet to show off.
With Weiss, it's not "Look what I can do!" Rather, it's "Look what you can do and how much fun we can have!" She’s a shooting buddy who’s a lot better than you but never rubs it in when you miss, willingly shares her knowledge to help you improve, knows the pros and cons of that new gun you were thinking about buying, and her enthusiasm for fun shooting makes her a pleasure to be with at the range.

Isn’t shooting from a moving vehicle illegal under essentially all circumstances?

Yes, in most cases it is illegal to hunt from a moving vehicle. Texas hog hunting is one exception.
NOT GUILTY!
Sharp lady.
***Yes, in most cases it is illegal to hunt from a moving vehicle. Texas hog hunting is one exception. ***
60 years ago that was the standard way to hunt antelope, since banned, from the back of a pickup with a driver cutting the antelope off. One of my favorite cartoons from that time was an Ace Reid COWBOYS cartoon showing such a hunt.
The driver is driving over very rough ground trying to cut off an antelope and yells at his hunters in the back...”HE’S SEPARATED NOW! SHOOT! SHOOT!
Problem was the hunters have all been bounced out of the truck bed and are laying on the ground.
