One More Reason To Be Pro-2nd Amendment: Shotgun Trickshot Gold!

The guys from Dude Perfect, famous for viral videos highlighting their athletic accuracy, teamed up with the shotgun-loving Gould Brothers to take buckshot magic to the next level.

The clip below features some incredible shooting, including hitting a skeet while aiming backwards, popping seven in a row from the hip before they hit the ground, and having a guy throw a cartridge into the shooter’s gun who still manages to destroy the target. Awesome!

The Dude Perfect team started back in 2009 when brothers Coby and Cory Cotton and their pals Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones, and Tyler Toney put a video of their backyard basketball trickshot competition on YouTube that went viral. The former highschool basketball players and Texas A&M roommates have since turned their friendship and love of sport into a lucrative online business with over 2.3 billion views on YouTube alone and 12 million subscribers.

“It was just something that happened by accident,” Coby Cotton, one of two Dude Perfect members handling operations full-time, told the Daily Dot. “We’d do stuff like this every week.”

Their popularity has landed the boys many big corporate partnerships, but money isn’t the most important thing on their minds.

Team Dude Perfect will also align itself with brands if it sees that the company in question has a mutual affinity for the values the five Dudes were brought up believing. Each member of the troupe is an avid, practicing Christian, and as Cotton attests, they’re firmly committed to finding ways in which they can reinforce that commitment through their work:

“We’re five guys who want to glorify Jesus with all that we do. We’ve all been fortunate enough to grow up with families that help teach us about faith and what we believe. That’s been essential to us throughout this whole process. We don’t have an underlying goal of converting people, but we do know that we have a platform that’s been a gift to us. We want to use that in a way that’s honoring God.

“We do our best to let people know. We always tell people that we won’t tell them what to believe, but we have no problem letting them know what we believe.”
