You really do have to give credit to Wilson. I would bet $100 with about a 50% expectation I could make that shot at the range. In those conditions I wouldn’t bet on putting a round into the wall behind him.
Training takes over.
It was a good shot.
At the range, I could do it all day, a decade ago.
Now...Probably could still reliably do it.
I need to practice more. For the last month have been doing a couple of hundred rounds of dry-fire a day...
Coincidentally, I was doing some IDPA shooting on Saturday. One of the lanes had ten 8” steel plate targets set on posts at about 40’.
I don’t consider myself a good shot and managed to hit all of them except one on the first shot.
Of course the stress level was hundreds of times less.
I’m in no way diminishing the bravery of Wilson and the other church men, just the coincidence of distance head shots.
