3.4 Mile shot Video

[GOG]

I though some of the shots in Iraq & Afghanistan were long, this one is amazing. Of course it was a stationary target with no return fire, so quite a bit different, but incredible just the same.
There's a list of equipment and suppliers at the end of the video you can see that it's an expensive exercise and out of reach for the average long distance shooter.

But a shot that long is still quite incredible.
The video is only around seven minutes long.

Don't they make a little purple pill or something that fixes that?

 

[GOG]

Alright alright, I'm not THAT old.

I'll try & find it again.

Here ya' go.

McMillan, Nightforce, Kestrel, etc. Lots of high dollar equipment and accessories, lots of computer stuff too.
It's expensive, but wow.

@Stomper new goals!!!!

I'm about to look into what's out there for a Kestrel...

I'm guessing we could do it if we pooled our money in about three years!!!

 

[GOG]

That fast?

Hey, just looking real quickly at the options, those aren't THAT expensive! We each spent almost TWICE that on reloading materials....

That fast?

Yes, THAT fast!

21 cold bore shots.

21 cold bore shots.

So it that precision shooting or just lobbing them in until one hits?

 

[GOG]

I dunno', but either way the distance is impressive. I thought the misses were close enough to be pretty good.
The holdovers were downright insane.

But even with the skill & equipment it's partially conditions and luck.

That bullet looks like they forgot to seat it.

I wonder how a 20mm rifle would do?

There's certainly some skill and experience involved but I certainly agree with the above.

I shoot long distances regularly and at those distances skill a preparation just reduces the amount of luck needed.

Put your average rifle shooter behind one of those rifles at ELR distances and it would be almost impossible though.
