It's more like artillery at that range68 previous tries. I guess you can lob a bullet a long ways and get a hit eventually.
Yeah I pretty much agree. And if you throw enough money at equipment I don't really think theres a lot of skill involved in the reloading either. Its not like there is some secret sauce they are using a bunch of other people aren't. Its just most folks can't afford $600 primer seaters, $2000 Prometheus scales and so on. Like Erik Cortina said he had his young daughter making his ammo after getting that equipment and its so good he shot a 3 shot string to verify velocity for quals and they all shot literally the exact same speed, the judges thought their equipment broke etc or something was fishy. The fact is. If you have that kinda cheese to spread we are at that point where the average Joe can get that kinda consistency fairly easily if your somewhat paying attention.not a major accomplishment in my view, shooting at something the size of a car if you are persistent enough you will hit it eventually. woopie!
Yup.I'm not as impressed with these types of headlines. After all, duffers can hit a hole in one and gang bangers can take a life of someone with a stray shot from a Glock 19 held sideways a 2000' away. The proof in the pudding is % of follow up shots with equal success. Absent that info, I just yawn and move on
1000 yds/meters with a surplus combat rifle is skill. 4.4 "miles" is a stunt.This video of a father and son shooting a vintage Schmit Rubin at a smaller target 1000 yds away with iron sights and getting hits using an old ironing board to rest on. This is more impressive to me then spending a ton of money to lay claim to a longest yards record.
It takes about 1.5 hrs to walk that far.1000 yds/meters with a surplus combat rifle is skill. 4.4 "miles" is a stunt.
Well sure, if you're dilly-dallyin' along. If ya start steppin' out proper like I bet you could cover it in an hour and 25 minutes or so.It takes about 1.5 hrs to walk that far.
1.5 hours is 1 hour and 30 minutes..Well sure, if you're dilly-dallyin' along. If ya start steppin' out proper like I bet you could cover it in an hour and 25 minutes or so.
The whole thing is Bravo Sierra. Given enough rounds I could eventually accomplish the same thing with my 270 with the scope cranked all the way to 8. It's called 'accuracy through volume of fire'.
Once again showing the need for a 'sarcasm' font...1.5 hours is 1 hour and 30 minutes..
not a whole heap different than 1 hour and 25 minutes.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.I don't think you're comprehending how far away 4.4 miles is and what it takes to hit something at that distance. I'd bet most couldn't do it with 1068 previous rounds.
