I miss having the rifle and bullet announced in your videos. Love your products. All I can say is SOMEDAY!

[@jasperjesse5095]

You prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother recently =)

[@geraldwayne2599]

@Jasper Jesse Definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)

[@oneshotpete6.591]

anyone who has ever shot at distance, would agree , that shot that Mike made was absolutely precision at its finest !!!

[@johnoltrogge6333]

Mike, nitpicky BS comment, but a Boilermaker is a person that builds boilers..or did. A boiler room is proper slang for the heart/lung of an animal, like a boiler would be the 'heart' or power plant for some system/equipment. Always love when some 'expert' tells you the projectile didn't have enough energy...as you are standing over a dead critter. Think you've enabled a lot of us, even old dudes, to rethink what's possible with the right equipment, training, and experience. From experience I know people have taken shots way beyond their capabilities with Kentucky Windage resulting in wounded and lost game. You guys have made it technically possible to take those shots; now its up to us to individually decide what's ethical for ourselves when all factors are considered. Keep putting the shots in the boiler room! Love it.

[@travisstone1683]

That was a hell of a shot!

[@idahotrophyhuntplanners]

Thanks for the video dudes. I appreciate you demonstrating that long range hunting can be a completely ethical way of hunting. Keep up the good work!

[@jamesmooney5348]

That's a cool Tikka rifle, bro! Or is it a Ruger American? 6.5 Creedmoor claims another one -NICE!

[@HiTechRob]

Third time is a charm! Nice shot!

[@michaelhull7442]

Good shooting Mike 👊🏼 awesome video

[@kurtgates4194]

Those wolves would make good target at that range, you should have let them have some lead!

[@jacobbrazell8684]

Awesome video guys!

[@tonylo.6766]

much love boys. bondurant, team Elkhorn...

[@beqirmaliqi6243]

Great video great shot well done

[@juanherrera2672]

Not to many people can say we hunt with what we build. Congratulations! We've watched you grow and were glad the brothers remain.

[@rickconnolly2822]

Excellent!!

[@matthewbasteen3375]

Sweet video what caliber were you using?

[@laspin8992]

3 shot with 3 hits at 1200 yards....now that’s some incredible shooting sir!

[@jimjackson5836]

What power did you have the scope dialed that far Mike? Nice shooting!!

[@jamesmooney5348]

Ventilate the wolves

[@proriznian7765]

Hi! Why 3 shots with your Gunwerks rifle+ammo? What calibre was your rifle chambered in? Andrew

[@Dave-cf2ng]

Thats a 7 LRM which is a 7mm 375 ruger. or a 7mm/300 prc. Probably shooting 195 Berger

[@michaelekertisjr6740]

Dave When do you think we’ll see a 7mm from Hornady ?

[@Dave-cf2ng]

Michael E Kertis Jr it’s about the same as a 28 Nosler.

[@Gunwerks]

Correct this was with the 7 LRM. Most likely shooting the 180 Berger Hybrid. Elk are tough critters. It's not uncommon for a bull to absorb 3 rounds like this, even at close range.

[@michaelekertisjr6740]

Close range ? The 3 shots were taken just over 1100 yards ! Did You watch the same video ? As I did ?

[@Aaron-mn8gw]

Any chance we'll be seeing a nice wood stock on a future Gunwerks rifle?

[@kylekuenzi3984]

Great shooting! Curious on why you used a yardage turret and not a MOA turret? Do you have a preference?

[@deerloversheridan3038]

I've broken that same buckle on the badlands.

[@Saa45MIV]

I know you guys are in the persuit of long range but do you ever take a closer shot if possible? Like say you have a 1500 yard shot do you ever even try and get closer or just take the longest bomb possible? You could have moved to that next ridge and shaved off maybe 4 or 500 yards.

[@robsnotes4u]

How much energy in your bullet at that range?

[@michaelmeyers1827]

Nice bull

[@Woodoutdoor]

What caliber are you using

[@Gunwerks]

7 LRM

[@Appalachian_Man]

I want a job at Gunwerks!

11k feet? Ugh. No specifics on rifle, cartridge, bullet, velocity etc? Nice country up there.

[@michellejohnson8897]

80 yds of correction on angle, must be deceiving!

[@Gunwerks]

Those mountains are big!

[@greydonluce6950]

First comment?

[@bowhunt9968]

You guys are fantastic marksmen but you are NOT hunters 🙄

[@itsmisterbojangles]

Apparently, they are hunters. Looks like they’re pretty good hunters at that.

[@bowhunt9968]

@@itsmisterbojangles They might be but you would never know it from this video. The shot (3 actually) was way over 1000 yards. A marksman sees how far away he can hit his target..........a "hunter" sees how close he can get to his.

[@itsmisterbojangles]

@@bowhunt9968 that's silly and immature. and 10 yard shot with a long bow, or a 1000 yard shot with a .338, it all takes skill. don't criticize someone else's discipline just because it's not yours. Have you ever killed an elk in big canyon country in late november or december? the pack out alone is worthy of the label "hunter."

[@bowhunt9968]

@@itsmisterbojangles i was not criticizing what they accomplished.........I actually complimented their skill. I merely stated "my" opinion, which is neither silly nor immature. We obviously support 2 different schools of thought so I think it's best we agree to disagree.

[@itsmisterbojangles]

Bowhunt 99 you said they weren’t hunters. That’s silly and immature. You’re criticizing their discipline, which is wrong on many levels. Support the brotherhood. It doesn’t matter if it’s done with a longbow at 10, or big gun at 1000, or upland game with a double 12, it’s all hunting and demands your respect.

[@garythesaint44]

Having to put 3 into an animal is not good. Curb your ego dude if your going to take an animal take it humanly and with the least amount suffering. Boasting about wind, angle, huge distance and hearing your excuses for not dropping it is pitiful. Unsubscribed!

[@howardhooley3408]

Not ethical! Should only shoot targets at that distance targets don't have to die way too slow cause of bullets going too slow to be lethal

[@Gunwerks]

Bullets are going plenty fast to be lethal at that range. Excellent expansion with the 180 gr Berger Hybrid!

[@idahotrophyhuntplanners]

If that's the way you feel, you probably shouldn't get into archery hunting... that can be the slowest of deaths. "Not Ethical" is absolutely the wrong choice of words.

[@howardhooley3408]

I can tell it was the right choice of words 🤣! And bow hunting had absolutely nothin to do with it broadheads don't expand with speed like bullets. The real gunsmith is dead on on this issue!

[@mtbadger1346]

Define ethics in the taking of a life. ANY life. We're waiting. There is only one level of dead. Whether in defense of life, or to sustain life, WTAF is "ethics" got to do with killing? Whether killing for food, trophy, and/or to protect yourself/loved one/brother in arms. STOP being ethics police and just do your own right thing. What makes you believe, Howard, that you have enough influence in other peoples lives that they actually give a 💩 what you think?

[@howardhooley3408]

Haha obviously stepped on some toes there 🤣

[@kgkepes]

Too bad the elk had to suffer for so long due to unethical shot selection.

[@Gunwerks]

3 rounds into the vitals. Doesn't get much more "ethical" than that.

[@idahotrophyhuntplanners]

This is an ignorant statement. People who make statements about this being unethical have apparently never hunted elk. They can withstand a very large amount of punishment. The range had nothing to do with it.

[@mtbadger1346]

Keith, please see my comment for Howard. It applies to you, and all your ilk.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Animals suffer way longer being shot by arrows, but no one complains about ethics then. Uneducated comment Keith.

[@dinsixiengmay9781]

Seen a dear get hit by a 50 BMG 750Amax at 100yds and still ran 🤔 animal reaction are all different bro!
