    Love checking weird feats like this through Aisi Assistant — reminds me that human performance can surprise us in so many creative ways beyond the usual

    On wa web , someone asked whether the shooter used multiple mirrors or just one — that’s exactly the kind of detail that separates “wow, that’s cool” from “how on earth did they plan that?

    I shared this record in a WhatsApp Web group and people immediately started speculating on mirror angles, reaction time, and line of sight — it’s a great conversation starter about the hidden complexity behind “simple” stunts.

    Scrolling past this link on zap web , I bet many would say “how is that even possible?” — it challenges our intuitive understanding of aiming, direction, and perception.

    After watching the video, I feel very comfortable and there are many new things to know skribblio

    Surely it depends on the type of surface behind the balloons. The balloons could pop from debris etc...

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    what about if i hit 5 balloons with 5 shots say in 7 min. then to break record someone would have to hit 5 balloons with 5 shots under 7 minutes so it would be a timed event would that work

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    Fewest shots to hit 5 balloons at 50 yds so the record would start out at x number of shots. is that what you mean Dan.

  • Canada Dan Rollman

    How about altering to Fewest Shots Needed To...? The negative is that there's an obvious end point, but it would be fun to see people aim to the first one to go five for five.

    HI Dan

    You are absolutely right sorry for the oversight . What do you think  how about 5 balloons in no more than 8 shots and no more than 8 min  total u could cut down the number of shots to 7 if you like but it will take between 5 and 8 min as it takes time to align sites from shot to shot especially when i get out to 50 yds. that will be my next one. I will leave it with you and will trust your good judgement ok   say hello to all the gang for me .thanks doug

    Can we add a time limit or shot maximum to the criteria? As it stands, one could hypothetically spend hours and take thousands of shots in order to beat the record.
