A novice? no.
...but it doesn’t take all that much training and equipment to reach something at 1000 meters. A .308 with 10x scope (common hunting rifle), and about 500 rounds for practice over 5 days, will get you there.
Various gun boards say to use 175 grain Sierra MatchKing bullets to have any degree of accuracy at that range in .308. The 168s fall off around 600-700 due to velocity dropping below the speed of sound, which introduces turbulence that throws off accuracy. So say the gun boards, I've never shot at anywhere close to those distances.
