The only thing that is getting better are the calculations, and maybe the gun.

The nice thing about that distance is that had he missed a target out of doors probably the target would not have known he was being shot at and the sniper would get to try it again.

There was another Canadian sniper in Afghanistan. He was shooting down from one ridge to another, so he had to deal with differing drafts.

I think he used the MacMillan, with US rounds that were left to warm in the Sun. Took him at least 3 rounds to hit the guy carrying RPG rounds

It is rocket science. His spotter was doing the science while an outstanding shooter pulled the trigger and their was a large helping of god given luck. At that distance even if he did not hit the target it scares the sh-t out of the bad guy. The bad guy thinks he is just a few hundred meters away and not two miles. It affects his actions and judgement greatly! Good shooting Mr. Canuck. Your lot have a good track record at long range kills. Thank you for your skills. You boys are good.
