Actually, I agree. I've done a considerable amount of shooting in my time, both at targets and live game. Among my many firearms is a 1937 Mossberg & Sons .22 long rifle with a long heavy barrel and the original 6x scope. I can hit a squirrel from 200 yds with that rifle and have done so many times. Hitting a target the size of a human would be no great feat, especially with the flat shooting .223. This guy has no great skill. He’s just willing and stupid enough to kill innocent human beings.

Oh, I agree on that aspect. I hunt deer, and 100 yards is a piece of cake, and their movements are unpredictable.

I was just curious if they were intentionally taunting the guy.

That does take skill. But, hitting a target, as large as a human, at 100 yards with a decent rifle is easy. I've dropped many a deer at 100 yards and over. It's not that hard.
