“He got the record on his 69th shot attempt.”

Am I wrong in not being very impressed with this yet?

All they established (so far) was that they fired a lucky shot after 69 tries.

It’s a good start, let’s see how soon they can hit that target again.

Piece of cake! I did that during BCT in ‘69 qualifying with the M-14.

In the REAL world; your target typically is not gonna stick around for you to try 69 times to hit it, unless it's merely a piece of paper with markings on it......

Just MHO; but if you're consistently accurate out to about 500 yards, you're pretty proficient, I'd say.

What was the size of that 69-shot group? Or even the best 50?

WOW!
Fun stuff!

Lynn and four friends hunkered down inside the steel bunkers near the target, 4.4 miles away from the rest of the team, to listen and watch for impacts from missed shots.

How did Hatcher spot his impacts?

The answer must be deep in Fr. Frog's pages?

Does anyone know?

Throw enough lead downrange and you're bound to his something eventually.

...Target was 10 feet wide, 7 feet 8 inches tall...."

"...their 69th shot hit the bullseye....

Absolutely pointless. Why not use the Queen Mary as a target?

No rules regarding target size, no rules regarding how many rounds could be fired to make the attempt, and they have the chutzpah to call it a "world record"? Utterly ridiculous and proves nothing.

I could have sat in the exact same spot with a Ma Deuce and an infinite supply of ammunition and a spotter and moved the target back another foot, and even with the iron sights I'd eventually have hit the target and become the New World Record-Holder.

Which is exactly why Bryan Litz created the King of Two Miles shooting competition. Because simply the fact that you managed to hit a randomly-sized piece of steel after a hundred warm-up shots is a pretty shoddy standard for a world record.

Wake me when he's used this same rig to finish in the money at the KO2M.

... when it hit the target, over 24.5 seconds after being fired.

Wow!
