You're right, whip cracking the clays was really cool. I use a whip and will be looking into doing that some time.
There were other cool stunts.

Don't get me wrong, those guys are good. Better than 95% of shooters out there, probably.
But some of us remember exhibition footage from the 50's/60's with Bill Jordan, Herb Parsons, even Ed McGivern.

I cannot find it on YouTube, but my dad had a black and white video of some guys with 22's doing amazing stuff (for Winchester?). the splitting of the bullet for popping the balloons was one.
In the black and white they used a knife and a 22lr. That means that margin of error is less than .22.

The vid posted above looks like a .45. a little more diameter to work with.

Not trying to downplay their skill. It is a good video.

All I can find is the name:
"Fast and Fancy Shooting"

It features Parsons, McGivern, Jordan, and a few others.

Really fun old video.

That's pretty good and I know I'll never be able to do that, but here is a video done in 2007, where Tom Knapp set a record and shot 9 clays using a Benelli semi-auto 12ga. shotgun. I don't know if it has been broken, but it's still an impressive feat.

The video is a little over 8 minutes and the shot is at the 7 minute mark. It's worth seeing the whole video tho to watch the tricks working his way up to the 9 clays. I didn't google the record for a pump shotgun, but I'm sure there is one out there.
