Kirsten Joy Weiss doesn’t know the name of the Pilates pose from which she shot the balloon in the video above. “All I know is that my Pilates instructor told me to do it, and before he could say ‘slowly’ I was in it,” Kirsten texted me. “Freaked him out cuz he can’t do it. I’m terrible at some other stuff though.” Having grilled Ms. Weiss on her expertise on a range of activities I can report that she sucks at hypnotizing race car drivers. But only because she hasn’t learned how. Nor am I going to teach her, lest TTAG’s resident sharp shooter “convince” a hot shoe to let her fire her gun from a NASCAR racer at full chat. On second thought . . . [Click here to visit Kirsten’s website for more trick shots ‘n stuff.]
so hot
Nearly ideal woman
That hurts……………………
Do it again please.
Just a little shameless Farago, but…hey, I’m shameless too. Continue.
Also: Thanks Kirsten!
Hi Kirsten,
My 13 yo daughter enjoys watching your videos. She has a Red Savage Rascal that she loves to shoot. Orange skeet disc at 100 yards are no longer safe 🙂
Just goes to show you can add implied sexuality to anything and it will get your attention.
For all the right reasons of course… like proper body position, breathing, & slight alinement. Any more of this and I’ll have difficulty with my personal trigger control.
According to a Yahoo news report, between 150 and 200 police officers responded from as far as 60 miles away. Does that strike anyone else as extremely odd? I wonder if they were expecting a repeat of the Beslan School massacre?
A petition is in order. A nobel prize to the inventor of yoga pants.
Nice shot, but the bullet drop at 30 yards isn’t very extreme. Now, at 100 yards with the same size target, challenge.
Although I couldn’t shoot from it, I can so totally do that position. With the help of a bottle of good bourbon and an orthopedic surgeon.
And a chiropractor follow up, I’m pretty sure.
You forgot duct tape 2 by 4s and a good 10,000 pound winch to pull you out of it once you get there and your back and neck lock up.
I own a gun because, when my neighbor was beating the sh*t out of his girlfriend, the cops told me to call back in 15 minutes if it got any worse.
I carry concealed because one night, three “youths” started harrassing my wife at the ATM while I was waiting in the car (thank God they left when I got out of the vehicle).
I’m not in particularly good shape. I’m short. I’m skinny. I don’t know how to fight (I’ve never been in one in my life). But I’m a damn good shot. Enough said.
From personal experience, shooting upside down is much harder than it looks.
I do have one minor criticism. She violated one of the four rules of gun safety: know your target and what is beyond. Granted, she was in the middle of what looked like an incredibly remote area. Nevertheless, after the bullet went through the balloon, who knows what was 800+ yards away and 100+ feet lower in elevation.
The only thing I hate worse than shooting up at a a target at the top of a hill with no backstop is shooting at an object on the edge of a cliff.
Other than that, fun shot.
wow, how very interesting. fart.
The still shot from :30 is priceless. That’s some sharp shooting from a woman who is all sorts of fine.
The thing I dislike the most about leather is if you don’t draw at the perfect angle, exactly in line with the holster it self, I drags. The greater the angle difference the greater it snags. Kydex doesn’t do this. In my opinion, that fact alone makes Kydex vastly superior.
All these idiots have ZERO background in firearms ,so they KNOW NOT WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT since they do NOT have a resume we must assume they are IGNORANT of the topic and therefore lead NO CREDANCE to expertise on the topic,And THEREFORE are not to be even given any say on the topic asNON OF THEM ARE EXPERTS,but they want to give you there opinion anyway.My children did that when they were young and I thought it so cute,but now they are ADULTS and the GREW UP,as these folks have not accomplished that yet.
Another point of contention we should bring up is ;PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS.We will give you signs to put up at your personal residence stating;ATTENTION PUBLIC ;WE BANISH GUNS FROM OUR RESIDNACE ,WE DON’T BELIEVE IN THEM AND YOU WILL FIND NONE HERE! If they will do that then I would respect them cause that is gutsy[but they won’t do that will they].So Mr and Mrs. ‘I HATE GUNS’ give us your resume and put up some signs or[let me exercise my first amendment rights] SHUT UP!
Just a SUGGESTION: you MIGHT want to TAKE it EASY on the ALL CAPS. THEN you won’t SEEM like a RAVING LUNATIC.
If I was there I would have brought my Tommy and 100 round drum.How fun.
Another first amendment free zone. Spewing ignorance daily.
Here in NY, it’s an “assault rifle”. 🙁
I’ll look forward to seeing the results from ballistic-gel test, the box-o-truth, and at least 10 real-world incidents before I put this into service in my own firearms.
Skeptical geek is skeptical.
Well if you want to see the garbage the state is relying on, here is their exhibit list:

Mother Jones studies, Washington post studies, Brady center studies, MAIG studies etc……
Unfortunately I cant put it into words. Im not that good of a liar.
Just some more drivel from another guy who thinks he is the smartest in the room.
To him the rest of us are beneath him.
Same way with Oslama,,,,,,,,
They both should be brought up on treason charges……..add Holder to the list too.
In law enforcement, the AR is my number one self defense tool whenever I have notice that I am engaging a suspected felony or actual felony in progress. Law enforcement all over the nation use AR-15s for self defense, because it is one of the best firearms available for that purpose. When police officers voluntarily put bullet buttons and reduced capacity magazines in their firearms to be used in a duty capacity, then perhaps they could make the argument that such restrictions improve public safety.
Well, many of you voted for these libtards (democrats). Don’t vote libtard (democrat) again. Problem solved.
My hat’s off to you, Rev. Sanders. You kick arse for The Lord!
Well the first two stories in this are just awesome. The first because it shows that even men of God carry because at times the Good Lord may be a lil too busy to defend everyone or one could argue that he gave us the tools and ability to defend ourselves so that he wouldn’t have to all the time. The second shows that not everyone has lost their ever loving minds when it comes to guns and giving folks the opportunity to take up the shooting sports.
Ok and this is killing people deader than reasonably priced 00 buck? Does it reap their soul on the way through like a .45ACP does? Cause if it does I’m totally getting some. But if it just makes them even deader, I don’t see the joy?
Will it get to the Supreme Court before the balance shifts in the wrong direction?
Would’ve worn my Remington 1858.
I’m shocked that a government kourt said the government can do whatever it wants. Shocked!
“The [The Assault Weapons Ban] Act also contains an exemption that allows law enforcement officers to purchase assault weapons for official duties and to use them for such duties and while off-duty.”
If one really believes an AR-15 is a “weapon of war” designed to “kill large numbers of people in a short period of time”, why would that same person want to explicitly allow our local police to carry these “excessively dangerous” weapons on duty or off-duty, on our streets near our children?
Of course, this exemption demonstrates there is a legitimate use for modern semi-automatic rifles in our society. Our local police departments across the country arm their officers with AR-15s because they are an effective personal defense weapon to use, when confronted, against violent criminals, and we want to give our officers every advantage.
If my family is ever confronted by one those same violent criminals, I would want every advantage, too.
Ohhh THAT balloon. Yea even the cameraman didn’t care about it lol.
Here is a gem, read the section quoted by TTAG ( bottom pg 4/top of 5 of the decision)
but is instead the right to possess and carry weapons typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes such as hunting or self-defense .
So they are saying we have the right to carry for self-defense. 🙂
But seriously, we shall see if this decision is “published” or whether, if appealed, the CA Supreme Court agrees. And whether or not the “publish” or “depublish” the opinion (in CA the Supreme Court can make a ruling or take a ruling of an Appeals court, and while keeping the conclusion for the particular case, render it irrelevant for precedent or stare decisis…they do this by “depublishing”)
If this new Ruger 7.62 is as nice-shooting as the SR-556c I have, it’ll be another winner for Ruger. A lot of people are “ho-hum” about Ruger’s AR’s, but I gotta say, they did one heck of a job with the design. My 556c is dead-nuts reliable, and it’s easily the smoothest shooting AR I own. The only gripe I have with it is the stock trigger, although that was easy enough to replace.
It’s kinda hard to describe, but if you’ve ever driven a Mercedes and know how they have a certain “tank” quality to them while remaining silky smooth driving down the road, well, that’s sorta how my Ruger AR operates. Kudos to Ruger for what I’m sure will be another quality product.
