You would have to. Gravity will not be mocked.

At 1,000 fps bullet takes 3 seconds to reach target.

Bullet begins to drop as soon as it leaves the muzzle.

Rate is 9.8 m/s2

So first second is 9.8 meters drop. About 10 yards

Yep.

This scenario is discussed every so often by (bored) shooters.

With a spotter, enough shots, and the right geography it could be done.

A video doesn’t have to show all the details :D
