One shot is lucky. Two confirms you are darned good.

A Brit sniper holds the record for a confirmed kill, 8102 feet (1.54 miles). He hit two Taliban.

He actually made three direct hits. The third took out the machine gun after he took out the crew. That .338 round is pretty nice.

That is one guy you don't want to shoot against....

How do you id a target at that distance, it's just got to be a tooth pick. His eyes must be like a hawk/eagle.

Good to know we have some well trained allies..

Thats why I preach on them 1-5000 dollar scopes. Its not possible w/out em . My furthest shots 700 yds. w/ about a six inch spred. A mile in a half, he had to know what direction he was shooting and I bet the wind was calm. You long range shooters know what I'm talking about. A mile and a half , thats amazing.
