World record sniper shot details

Post by fantumfan2003 » Thu Nov 25, 2010 11:49 am

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Harr ... 8sniper%29

It now turns out he took a total of nine shots. Six to range, but once he got it right he got into his one shot one kill act.
Interesting to see on the page how big a six foot person looks at 5 power and 25 power through the S&B scope used on the L115A3

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Freak conditions, and he got lucky.
I dont think the act can be repeated reliably however good for Harrison.

That being said the Wikipedia article reads like an ad for JBM Ballistics and Schmidt and Bender.

80X for F Class would be difficult.. given the mirage. For PB BR it does make sense.
