But lets face it. It was a luck shot.

The man himself said as much. Still, luck favors the prepared, or in this case native talent and great training.

And how could I argue with your conclusion. This sargeant knew exactly how many click beyond the range of his scope's elevation to raise the barrel. He obviously is an expert marksmen and deserves full credit. I should have really said this to begin with, for I did not mean to diminish his accomplishment. Being an old vermint hunter and owner of a Remington 700 Custom .243 rifle with fixed 12X scope, I can to some degree appreciate just how good these guys are.
After phrasing things as I did I was sorry I did. Thanks for the required correction.
