That's a loooong shot

[turkeyfeathers]

Some serious ballistics , wind , earth rotation , temperature, drop etc calculated into that shot.

Not for the bad guy that was on the receiving end. His luck ran out!

If that was some normal Joe, I'd agree.

But to even get anywhere close to hitting his Target at that distance is far from pure luck.

They put wind, weather, etc. all into a system that spits out how to adjust the scope. Yes some luck involved since it probably took 5-10 seconds to get there but still a lot of analytics go into it.

Yeah yeah, I'm jealous, My longest shot was probably not much more than 200yds. I used to watch my Dad shoot ground hogs that were so far out I couldn't even see what he was shooting at

I'm impressed. That is definitely a long poke.

There was a story in "Varmint Hunter" magazine several years ago about a guy with a .338 Lapua Mag that hit a prairie dog at just under a mile. Documented and verified by several witnesses. A prairie dog is smaller than a two-liter soda container, btw, and sometimes not much bigger than a 16 oz beer can.

Carlos Hathcocks confirmed mile + kills were w a 10x scope

I once took out a crazy cipmunk on the morning of my wedding running around the pool area at my groomsman's house....some Kentucky windage was used and with that pump BB gun and and I dropped him at 30 yards!
That must count for something!
