This is unreal (5 seconds until bullet hits target)

Found this on you tube. This guy is shooting 2751 yrds. That's over a mile and a half[ame="http://youtu.be/iqCMfTZuWB8"] http://youtu.be/iqCMfTZuWB8[/ame]

That's a pretty impressive video. Thanks for sharing.

No way to be sure of the validity of the clip. And there's some factors I didn't hear brought to bear, such as wind velocity and direction at the target, which is likely different than at the bench.

Nor did we see any movement of the rifle upward to compensate for the other 10, though he stated he is.

Good shooting, if it's authentic. Long range shooting is definitely fun and rewarding!

He can hit a mountain, I'm not impressed.

I couldn't imagine being able to shoot that far. Too awesome.

I saw something like this a couple of weeks ago very old 8mm mauser. About 1000 yards and 45' of bullet drop but he was hitting the target within a couple of rounds.

I'm not sure if I could see ANYthing at 2751 yards! Wow!

Im impressed with long range shooters!! It takes a lot of patience and dedication to achieve shots like that. Ive tried, and its just not for me.
It seems like you really have to calculate the correct shot (Math) and I hate math! Overall, if the video is legit, its an impressive shooting experience.

Is that a laser rangefinder he is using? If it is, who makes one that can read that far?

 

[barnstormer37]

Is it safe to assume that the video was not shot (no pun intended) in Indiana? There's not that much elevation change in the whole state.

As impressive as the shooting was, I am more amazed that the guy spotting said he could see the hits on the rock ! What kind of spotting scope gives you that kind of clarity at that range ?

is there an app for calculating these shots?

I can't say for sure but on one of the long range shooting shows I occasionally watch on tv, the guy used his phone to figure out his shot. You might check around.

They could have shot and during editing selected the target. Semi-impressed at the range but seems kind of bogus!

For android, Strelok will do ballistics calculations. You may need the paid version to do some of the work at those distances but for typical ranges the free version should be fine.
