Re: Texas Man Claims Record-Breaking 3-Mile Shot
Awesome!
The article was weak though... what I don't get is that each time there is a shot like this (they said it was 3 years in the making) they fail to get video. Not that I don't believe them but dang, we want to see it!! And the piece referenced the difficulty in documenting the shot. Video would help. ...lol

You know, at that angle of fire it's basically artillery.

You beat me to it. At 3 miles, mortars and artillery are called for. Plus, he got ONE hit out of EIGHT rounds fired. I don’t know what this is at this point, but it is not really a practical test of accuracy anymore. You throw enough bullets out there, and you’re bound to hit the board eventually.
