That’s basically a long range shotgun, 1 pellet at a time.

Reminds me of that time I stood on a 6ft ladder after eating a bag of skittles and I let the spit almost touch the floor before pulling it all back.

My friends thought it was cool, none of the girls did.

Didn’t take me 69 attempts though.

Can we stop celebrating people and their mediocrity?

 

[Seed tick]

Bet the guy never worked in concrete or can bench 275 let alone have 75 bow kills. Amateur

Left hand gain twist

I think ya'll are jealous. No matter how you did it thats a pretty amazing feat.

I use this only as a joking example but you could set up at the National Cathedra and hit someone in Georgetown or near there. As the bird flies its a lot less than 4.4 miles.

Or even further

If they were still standing on the "X" after you shot the first 68 times . . . they deserve to be hit.

69 shots. Depending on the day and time, you could hit a lot of people and never sniff your target…

I'm trying to think of a more valid way to call something like that a record. I'm thinking maximum of around 3-5 sighters followed by a minimim quantity of consecutive hits. Maybe a requirement to duplicate it under different conditions.

SH standard 6x5.

So basically it's a shotgun on an installment plan. I wonder if they bladed at 45 for the shot.

whoa now dont get crazy, this build already took two years to slap together!

This quote right here makes me wonder:

“Traditionally in extreme long-range shooting, we wanted long, skinny bullets,” he said. “However, we discovered that as a bullet crosses over into subsonic velocity, it flies better if it’s shorter and fatter.”

 

[Sniperwannabee]

We need to seriously get together and break the record , I don’t have the equipment but I know people on here do like @MACHTECH and @GIXXER2000 etc do

That ain't shit my Savage 6.5 Creedmoor in a Choate chassis stock can handle that no problemo.................if I do my part. It has had a super trigger polish by a bonified retired Army sniper and wears the latest Counter Sniper scope in special milled and lapped rings.

All kidding aside this moves my needle about a mm. Who cares? It's really a record with no merit or purpose. Yes I can't come close to attemping that nor do I even care to try.

 

[Dirty D]

Give any reasonably competent soldier an M-2 and a 69 round belt with the same forward observers and I bet they could walk a round in.

At 4.4 miles" Youre dreaming.

 

[HeavyAssault]

Okay....wow....4.4 miles....AWESOME.....took them 69 tries??...69.....let that sink in......something tells me they are having a good laugh.

 

[Slash0311]

It's definitely impressive... But if I go and buy 69 lotto tickets, there's always a chance one wins.

That distance is impressive but the scope was MOA, not MIL. If I put a MOA on my. 308 with M855 green tip ammo, I think I could hit it. If it was a little closer... But only if it was a Quigley-Ford MOA.

I feel certain you'd hit it...if you do your part.

 

[Rerun7]

Doesn’t count if it’s less than a 5 round group.

Change my mind..

 

[SledDog]

Side note - 69 tries is the same number as the previous record holder took.

 

[Doc68]

So walking rounds in like FO gives you a world title these days.......
