“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.
Aim small miss small
Piece of cake! I did that during BCT in ‘69 qualifying with the M-14.
Just MHO; but if you're consistently accurate out to about 500 yards, you're pretty proficient, I'd say.

8 inch target.
What was the size of that 69-shot group? Or even the best 50?
What firearm? What round?
Links?
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.
"...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.
What is the ONE shot World Distance Record???
That would be much more impressive than a 69 shot record....
Wow!
That should be long enough to circumvent Gates of Hell’s body guards.
69 hots 1 kill
It’s artillery, look at the scope mount.
The wimps on the thread who probably couldn’t score a minimum acceptable 255/300 on a quarterly qualifying timed PPC qualification sure do hatealot and claim they know it all!
p.s.~289-297 on PPC here.

...shame on you in your anonymous hate.
With 69 tries I could hit it
