I just watched this 5 times trying to find out the moment where instinct kicks in to pull this off. That is awesome.

Not really a "Flying Squirrel" more like a "Leap Frog!" wink wink

This is a "Flying Squirrel."

Can you do it? No?? Didn't think so Mr. "Jimmy Johnny"... wink wink

Give Koehn his credit. It was arguably just as hard. Coleman had a standing non moving target. Keohn had a sprawling, head blocking target. Plus Coleman had trained to hit his "flying squirrel", Koehn was laying it all out on the line because he wants to win that bad! It was so LEGIT.
