    Our first real go at a snatch recovery

    This was the first time snatching in a proper stuck situation, we had practiced before but not to this extent. The recovery points used are from rated shackles and everyone is kept back past the length of the strap. I rekon if we had a bigger run up from the start we probably would have got out first shot.

    Very stuck mate.

    You may want to tell people when you put these vids up that they are actually videos...Ive been caught out with Photobucket videos thinking they are just pictures but they are actually videos.
