The focus is on hitting the middle wafer dead center. 2:13 - 2:27: The narrator discusses the challenge of shooting through a plastic disc with a less than 3/4 inch opening, explaining that shots get harder. 2:30 - 2:47: The goal is to hit a wafer behind a lifesaver by shooting through it, with only 3/16 of an inch clearance on either side. 2:50 - 3:18: Demonstrates breaking a thread to drop a disc with a .22 bullet. 3:22 - 3:53: The narrator talks about putting out a large candle flame and then shows a birthday candle, hoping to snuff it out. 3:56 - 4:02: The objective is to light a match by hitting its tip and then put it out by hitting the flame with the bullet base. 4:40 - 4:54: Introduces shooting at a small Christmas tree ball at the end of a stationary pendulum, aiming to break it while in motion. 5:06 - 5:21: Similar to the previous shot, this one involves timing to shatter a wafer without hitting a moving target. 6:13 - 6:23: The challenge is to split a thread to release a balloon and then shoot and break the balloon in midair, all with .22 shorts. 6:36 - 7:06: The narrator switches to an autoloading Remington Nylon 66, model Apache Black, which is lightweight and adjustable for windage and elevation. They attempt a shot holding it like a pistol. 7:42 - 7:58: The narrator takes advantage by notching a soft lead bullet to make it split easier on impact, aiming to hit two targets with one shot.
