They probably missed 50% of the time at least. Also, was anyone else surprised at how there was no visible recoil? I'm sure mounting it helped, but it didn't seem to be recoiling at all.

Those who actually watched this episode would know that the MB team took trees that had already been felled and dug the logs in the ground for the purposes of this busting. In general, the team usually does their best at being economically and environmentally responsible for all their "pointless experiments" (e.g., scavaging scrap yards, re-using equipment and materials). As for why? Well, they're not called Mythbusters (not to mention this website isn't Neatorama) for nothing. Agreed.
