I took the "Buster Scruggs" Challenge.....

[canoeguy]

Last week there was some discussion about the Netflix Movie "Ballad of Buster Scruggs". In the movie, Pistolero Buster Scruggs draws and shoots the fingers off his opponents hand. Today, I tried to duplicate this feat....

Made a target by outlining my hand with a sharpie, then placed it at 50'. Shot it with a careful, two hand hold, standing. Revolver was my Ruger Blackhawk .357, shooting a handload of 158 grain lead round now flat point bullet (Missouri Bullet Company #11 Ranger), propelled by enough Unique to make 1000 feet per second.

Took me three tries to shoot it clean. I'm not ready to face down Buster Scruggs or his ilk, but the revolver can do it.....

Not me, this is Buster Scruggs after he shot off his opponents fingers:

Ya gotta try that trick with the table board instead. It's priceless.

Edit. And you don't even need a gun.

50 feet?

It looks to me that Buster did it from at least 75 yards, if not more. You need to keep on practicing.

He did it one handed too.

I still haven’t watched Buster Scruggs again, but I will!
So, exactly where does he carry that mirror?

Who is/was Buster Scruggs?

Who is/was Buster Scruggs?

Buster Scruggs is the first story of a 5 part mini series on Netflix.
Buster is the first one.
He’s a snappy dressed singing cowboy who demonstrates some uncanny trick shots.
It’s a Coen Brothers production and at least half a bubble off.
All 5 are different stories and there’s no connection or continuation.
If you like Western’s or the Coens, it’s a must see!

I don't care what some movie star did in some random show. What you did is seriously nice shooting. Well done!
