“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.

That was my thought as well.

Yep. It’s impressive, but when you can re-azimuth after each shot, it means you can eventually hit the target, if you get enough tries.

I’ll also bet it was a pretty calm wind, if any...

As a long range guy, this is neither impressive nor useful.

Lucky? Did you even take the time to read the damn article? Probably not.

1,092 MOA up and 17 MOA left. Do you even know what an MOA is in regards to rifle scopes?

Here, check out the rifle and notice the scope alignment.......

Exactly. I’m not impressed that he got it in 69 tries. 10 would have shown skill. 69 is just pure luck.

The bullet speed was too slow to kick up dust. The spotting was done by sound and guessing where the previous shot hit.
