On one episode, Jed and Jethro were lighting matches at 300 yards with their rifles............

LOL, I think I remember that.
Or the time Hollywood filmed a Civil War movie in the canyon behind the “cement pond” and Grannie picked up a rifle and joined in.

Outstanding precision shooting to kill two terrorist enemies.
Excellent decision for that third shot to render their weapon useless, too.

I saw his story on the Military Channel he had to deal with wind drift coming from two direction the first two rounds missed but he nailed him on the his third shot I think it was 2430 meters. They were walking a Mountain ridge line according to the show.

Speaking about the incident, Cpl of Horse Harrison said: "The first round hit a machine gunner in the stomach and killed him outright. He went straight down and didn't move. Hell yeah, the kinetic energy of that round is pretty lethal.
Good shooting Corporal!

I’m quite sure these are separate incidents. I saw the one you commented on and believe he was Canadian. He was using a 50 cal BMG round and they had to switch to our ammo (better ballistics) when theirs ran out. Awesome shots for sure.

makes this record more impressive, i don’t think the .338 lapua has quite the range of a .50bmg.

Putting this into perspective: a normal size man is approximately 19" wide at the shoulders. For easier computation let's make it 20". 20" at 1000 yards subtends 2MOA (minutes of angle). Under ideal conditions (which seldom exist), if one can hit a 2" circle at 100 yards, one can hit a 20" circle at 1000 yards. At 2000 yards one must hold 1MOA to hit a 20" circle. At 2640 yards (1.5 miles) one must hold .758 MOA to hit a 20" circle. [Please correct my math, if I've made a mistake.]
If a shooter is dialed in and conditions are perfect, hitting a man's torso is equivalent to holding < .75MOA. That's fine shooting. (Even G. David Tubbs, a highly decorated high-power shooter, took a few shots to get on paper at a mile using his 6.5-284 match rifle in a recent video.)
