Pairing PGA pro golfer Cody Gribble with two-time Olympic gold medalist skeet shooter Vincent Hancock, Golf Digest captured an atypical day at the range. Armed with a club and a shotgun, respectively, the two professionals took turns chipping golf balls into the air while the other pumped them into tiny pieces. To no one’s surprise, neither was particularly good at the other’s craft but both appeared to have a great time regardless. Check out Part 2 for a friendly head-to-head competition. (via Golf Digest)
ONE IN A BILLION
They say it’s a “one in a billion” shot. That’s how officials are describing the bullet from off-duty Colorado Deputy Jose Marquez that traveled straight down the barrel of an attempted robbery suspect’s Springfield pistol, disabling it. The photo has been circulating the internet since local 9News broke the story—and rightfully so. This is a shot Mythbusters couldn’t even reproduce if they wanted to, let alone during the heat of a fire fight. Unfortunately, Marquez did not escape the botched robbery without injury, he was shot multiple times in the abdomen and is currently recovering. (via FishGame.com)
Unless you live under a rock, by now you’ve heard of the new mobile game sweeping the world, Pokémon GO. (If not, here’s a brief explanation in less than 400 words.) In just one week’s time, the game is more popular than Netflix, Twitter and Tinder and has millions of “trainers” outside and on their phones wandering from PokéStop to PokéStop in an attempt to catch ’em all. But, as to be expected, not everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. Michael Pitts of Michael Pitts Outdoors is one of those party poopers and has something to say about that “Pokeyman guy.” (via Outdoor Overload)
