He never said he was going to hit the balloon, he was trying to hit the plate. They add the balloon for visibility and to aid in seeing if the plate is hit. The splatter will break the balloon if it hit anywhere on the plate.It was a great shot no doubt, but if you notice, from what I saw anyway, the bullet hit low and left on the plate - not on the balloon. The fragments from the steel plate and/or bullet burst the balloon, which was about a foot or so from where the bullet hit.
A shooter actually hit a plate with a 6" revolver @1000 yards and you are focusing on him not hitting the balloon itself? Really?
