RE: Where on Wednesday: Seventeen - "Sending it" for sport
That's some insane marksmanship. I remember in the army, I could usually hit a man-sized target at a quarter of that distance. The steyr had a 1.5x scope though, so hardly sniper grade hardware.
I can't imagine how steady your hands would need to be.
Yeah, it's easier with my Kahles 6-24x56 rifle scope. The old 1.5x would never get out that far. Designed for different purposes with about 300m being the range I guess. You would have had sharp-shooters in support of general infantry I assume, all doing the same things I do.
Being steady is important. Load the bi-pod forward, brace the butt-stock with a shooting bag or hand, breath in and out to about the natural pause in breathing then squeeze the trigger. The break should come as somewhat as a surprise. Other factors too of course, but that's essentially it. Takes a lot of practice...Many rounds.
I remember one day I had my cheek too far forward, and the scope hit me in the eyebrow.
I knew changing my position would wreck my grouping, so I just fired the last 4 rounds 'forgetting' that the scope was going to hit me again. That took some mental fortitude; and delivered a nice shiner.
Passed the shoot though. Worth it to not spend another week in Basic Training.
Haha...We call that scope-eye. It's happened to everyone. I have a very close head-position in relation to the scope so get close to it most times I shoot. Not pleasant, but probably way better than another week in basic.
