I would have paid good money for a video of that...
Thanks for posting that. I had a big grin on my face the whole time watching him do that.
Like riding a bicycle for him...I guess!
RIP, sir.
I think there may be...just may be.. a lot off “old snipers” out there!š
Great video. Thanks for posting!!!
That was an awesome episode. Amazing how humble those men are given what they went through.
He stood tall on that range...
RIP, troop...
The greatest sniper in world history might be a vaccinator. 1 shot 1 kill.
I had the privilege of meeting a Vietnam War Era sniper at a local angel a couple of years ago. From looking at his target, yeah, he still had the touch. He and his spotter used to sign their casings and leave them behind as psy-ops. Said there was a no-excrement bounty on their heads.
Fantastic, thanks!
5in group at 1,000 yds.
There’s not 10 people on FR that can do that, or have ever done that.
No matter the equipment.
Well he certainly wasn’t a slouch with the ‘03. A real badass. And humble about it.
Carlos Norman Hathcock bump.
5.56mm
That is a GREAT video. Thanks for posting.
5 inch group at 1,000 yards using a rifle he’s never fired before. Astonishing!
My father was a Marine Corps Gunny and Korean War veteran. He qualified marksman and decades later when the CMP began providing M1 Garand service rifles they also at times would allow for a serial number search when choosing your grade of rifle and manufacture. Our dad carried an IHC (International Harvester Corp) mix master and new his issued serial number. It took some time but the CMP found a service grade IHC within 1 number of his issue rifle. So he knew that someone in his division -company -squad was issued this rifle and carried it. He loved shooting this rifle. He shot left handed because he was partially blind in his right eye from starring at the sun as a child and had a blind spot. His right eardrum was shattered when he was to close to a claymore detonated near him while training on Okinawa before deploying to Korea. God bless you dad.
One of my parishioners told me his experience during the Battle of the Bulge. I will never forget. He told me that you would go sit on a dead body that was still warm because of the freezing temperatures.
