    Well, I would have never thought 4 balloons full of water would stop a 44 mag. Rick

    I sure would not stand between the 4th and 5th balloons. Not even if he was shooting a 22 LR

    You ain't kidding brother. I wouldn't stand behind the last one with any caliber. With my luck the guy doing the shooting loaded a FMJ by mistake. "OOPS! Did I do that?"

    That would be one of those, "Here, hold my beer and watch this" events.

    I thought with a 44 it would have been 6-8 balloons. Did anyone see the bullet with the 4th balloon on how the balloon caught the bullet and brought it back inside?

    Anyone remember or still have any of the Lee Jurris Super Vel .44 mag rounds?

    One of those might have gone thru a few more balloons.
