Travis, I tire of these foreigners being effusively congratulated for medium range shots, which although good shooting to be sure, would have been mere child's play compared to the astounding shots made in the Maine woods by the old-timers.

Why, my own grandfather shot a moose with his 38-55 at a measured 2,852 yds, 2' 6" (a surveyor was with the group). Unfortunately for him, it was across a 5-mile long pond, no canoe was available, and by the time he hiked round to the kill through a sudden blizzard, it had been stolen by a band of hungry Passamaquoddy braves.

This, and stories of even longer shots are quite common around 1:30 AM at the VFW, and Odd Fellows Bar.

I have heard the Abrams tankers bore sight their main guns by hitting fence posts at a mile. For real. Or something close to it.
