  That is incredibly impressive.

  I watched a "Special," on the Canadian shoot. He took about 3-5 ranging shots to figure it out and to keep their heads down from shooting at friendlies. The Bullet drop, etc. That far away is just insane.

  Jim, what a great informative article for me as i was a competitive rifle shooter quite a few years back. One of guys on our small bore team was my Vet, a Master Shooter and on the Cornell team while in school.

  One of my old bosses at West Point was in charge of a sniper platoon in Nam. He was the "Master of The Sword" at West Point before retiring and became the Director of Planned Giving and Dir. of Development at the Assoc. of Graduates at West Point. He also competed in the Olympics in the Pentathlon and as i recall he won a bronze or came in fourth, I can't remember. His dad was a Four Star General. Would mention his name but not sure I am allowed.

  He called me in his office one day and gave me some great financial advice and told me I better look out for my finances because no one else would. I invested quite a bit in Vanguard and bailed just before 2008. I owe so much to this man and would be living in poverty now were it not for him. ---------------------------------Ray
