I've shot competitions with M-16 with standard iron sights to 500 yards, and we got spotting scopes to use between shots. If you stand behind somone shooting at that range you can see the turbulence with the scope that the bullet leaves behind, and every time it'll peak at about 6 feet over the impact spot when it's at the midway point.

In any case, these shots the sniper is making are friggin easy by any standard, it's the egress without detection time and time again that's the tricky part.

Exactly!

Like somebody else said, all the shots were in the 150 yard range. The NRA approved High Power Match (Service Rifle) competition starts at 200 yards standing!

I am a lousy shot, and I can still score 155 1x (20 shots) or better standing position, at 200 yards.

At 150 yards, with a scope and a rifle combo that was sighted in properly, these are easy shots.

I always thought is was real neat to see the bullet wake. It gets real warm in the summer months here and you can easily see the bullet cut through the mirage on its way to 600 yards. I never really believed how much of an arch there was in a shot until I saw it for myself. It is a lot more like a softball pitch/lob than the straight line all the movies make it out to be. It is anything but flat!
