Impressive. I’d like to know how many shots he had to take though.

Great. Now the Communists will claim that my .22 short is deadly from 4 miles away, and all rifle ranges within 6 miles of human habitation will have to be closed.

If it saves One Life!

Shooter: “Dammit, missed again, wonder why it went left this time and not right.”
Spotter: “The sparrow farted on the right side when it changed branches.”

Try to imagine aiming 200 feet high and 90 feet right of the target.....?

How much energy do you calculate the bullet had left when it hit the plate?

So just how do you know that there’s no one walking around in the 2+ mile trip?

I guess I could calculate it if I wasn’t so lazy, but if your shot takes 9 seconds to reach it’s target, among all the other corrections you’re dialing in, do you have to take the rotation of the earth into consideration? Or in other words, is that a tougher shot if you’re shooting North or South, rather than due East or due West? (Not to be confused with a little village in South Carolina).

Ballistic path like a rainbow. Must have been going nearly vertical at the end.

Our daughter dates a young Lieutenant right now who is an engineer and a ballistics expert. His job is to test and calculate precision rounds at long distances. I will have to put this in front of him.

Is it, could it, lethal at that range. I am sure the energy in that bullet puts it almost in free fall.

Big deal - the Germans fired monster shells 12 miles high and 67 miles away to hit Paris in WW1.

That is a nice shot but a 6’ x 6’ plate is relatively large target. I’d like to see that shot on a human 6’x 3’? target to test sniper skills.

I’m not knocking the guy. It was an amazing shot.

Good grief, that scope alone is $3800.
