No one can control a target that can move at any time. If he has never ever missed a target then I apologise.

By the way. I have hit a fig 11 target in the neck area at 4300 yrds with 7.62 ball ammo, first try.
Work that one out

TOF is 4 seconds,the animal could well have been sitting down so that negates movement.
We wernt there so I'm not going to call on it.
4300yds = approx 960 moa
You tell me

4 secs? A walking fig 20 target for Army range shoots and AWQs must cover 6m in 4 secs.
That is the descriptive speed used.

6m covered for a human in 4 secs. Doesn't sound like much but ya gotta wonder what an animal can do in that time. Even if lying down.


I hit the fig 11 with one round of a 200 rnd belt out of an SF machine gun.
There were 9 other targets in the area but only one was hit...... The one I aimed for

Iv heard people talk of a dude that could do that but hes more likely using a lightning bolt than a rifle and ballistic app.

This is what this ballistic app is designed for.
Some unreal shooting I reckon.

Tru that,I might send an email to litz and see if they want r93 to come coach them!

I like Strelok and Applied Ballistics. Bushnell has a FREE suite on their app that has a slightly stripped down version of Applied Ballistics that works well.

Yes that's some good shooting, Looks like he came 12th with no one hitting the 2 mile.

I see the guy that won last year used a bushnell scope and shooter app using 3 g7 profiles.

The irony was missed I see?
200 rnds in long bursts from an accurate, sustained fire machine gun, locked into a huge tripod, dug in and sandbagged to the ground. Marked and recorded only managed one single strike by way of plunging fire using an enfilade target. The gun is sited optically on a post no more than 5 m away.

Sorry. Too much Army speak for ya again?

Just keep pumping the tires of people that put their need for a pat on the back over the potential suffering of animal. (if they were not looking for a pat on the back how do you know about it?)
It is amazing shooting no doubt but you have to admit that if the tiniest thing goes wrong with the loading process, atmospheric calc, or releasing of the shot that at those ranges, it is exponentially worse.
No one is that good to hit every time. We are human.

And an extreme amount of shit can happen when the flight time of a projectile gets into and beyond the three second mark

@R93 Is a modest chap and I'll try to translate army speak for those who are not multi lingual.

It actually takes a lot of skill to hit a target that is not in direct line of fire so that the projectiles rain down on it from above (plunging fire) at over 4km away. And hit the target aimed for by sighting on a post 5m away. It took a belt of 200 rounds.
I think his point was, if it takes an accurate machine gun and skilled operator a 200 round burst to get 1 on target. The chances of a single shot at an animal failing is quite high.

I can't take the credit of any skill in this instance. But thanks for getting my drift.
I was on my DFSW cse and took over the gun after it was already marked and recorded by another team. I just confirmed bearings and let rip we were shooting thru screens to simulate a night mission.

The best thing about it was the drive down range to observe the effect of our different DFSW weapons had on fixed positions and simulated formations in open country.
Made you question why I was happy to be a grunt if ever on the other end of it one day.

Sorry my old friend but are you not highly skilled in using projectiles that take 3 secs to hit anything?
When you were serving it took a minute to pour the powder ram a patch and ball and fish a cap out no?

I was the best in my platoon. I halved the fuse and could strike the flint quicker than anyone else.
