Thats a hell of a shot. I have helped some SWAT members sight there weapons in for 1000 and 1500, and 2000 yards, but a mile and a half, wow thats incredible.

 

[sixer9682]

That's not incredible, that's insane; did you see the adjustments he had to make for that shot?

 

[Bob369963]

Yeah 6 feet lol.

 

[balls2dawall]

had to aim 6ft high and 20in to the left..ridiculous; talk about hitting a camper...lol; 3 secs of airtime.

Crazy - this happened in Nov 2009 - both shots were consecutive records
US record 2297m

Sorry, but while on the subject

Check out this guy if you don't know who he is
Carlos Hathcock - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Hathcock

-killed a guy through the scope
-used a .50 Browning M2 machine gun as a weapon - had record kill in 1967 of 2286m with that weapon - that record stood until just recently

I think they did a special about him on the Military Channel.

WTF... using a machine gun as a sniper rifle. Err... whatever works I guess.

Nice shots by the British guy... with some luck with the complete lack of wind no doubt.

That shit is awesome man. I once shot that far but it couldn't be confirmed cause it was a secret squirrel mission.

What do you mean? That photo of you and Meat is everywhere
