you left one thing though. the shot was really only possible because he was like 8000 feet high in elevation. thin air. :agreed:

That's true...a bullet simply can't travel that far without thinner air...too much drag. Heck, at that distance, it might not have made it if it'd been even a few degrees in temperature cooler than it was. You're talking some serious physics to consider at that range.

the downrange recreation really showed that. Shit was insane, real pulling one out of the hat.
