86 Year old veteran sniper

Re: 86 Year old veteran sniper

1/2 minute 3 shot group at 1K...
Guess it's like riding a bicycle, huh?

I'm pretty amazed that it's still possible to have the breathing and muscle control at that age to pull it off.

I'd seen this video before, but am glad it's still around. He 'still has it'!!

That is great! Thanks for posting. Our WWII vets are a real treasure. Both my grandfathers served, but have since passed away. Miss them and their stories a lot. Semper Fi.

Cool video. Anybody else cheer when he got that hit? I love the new Infantry museum, too. I got to see it a couple years ago when I came back from Iraq - got stuck at Benning for a couple days when the LNOs in Kuwait sent me to the wrong place (wanted to get to Ft McCoy, WI). The museum totally made the layover worth it. The Bradley at the end of the last 100 yards was actually from my cousin's unit, B Co 1-22 INF. He was driving the Bradley behind it when an AT mine destroyed it and killed its driver. RIP SPC James Powell.
