He took this last shot in the middle of a large parking lot at 9:15 PM. It was a head shot and the woman had to have been moving. She and her husband were getting into their car.
Me? I can hit a deer size target at 150 yards with open sites and a roundball, but I can barely see 150 yards at night. And at a moving target? Head shot?
Not easy.

I'm with you Dr. Carl.
Whoever the shooter(s) is/are, they are GOOD.
They live up to that One Shot-One Kill credo.
Average Joes/Josephines such as myself know that if I MUST make a hit on an animal
(deer, bear, NOT a human), at range...you go for center-of-mass. NOT a head-shot!

I can hit a head sized circle shooting offhand (standing)at 100 yards easily, this guy is probably shooting prone or sitting. I don't know about Virginia but at the Home Depot here in Salem Oregon the parking lot is well lit at night. What was the range that this most recent shot was taken?

They give this guy way too much credit. I've got 50 year old eyes and can hit a deer at 100 yrds with a 30-30 lever action and iron sites. (no photos but imagine about a 4-5" group of 5 rounds.

Whoever he is, he's got some serious high-tech equipment on a low-tech gun.
