He's 61. How can he even see the target at a 1000 yards??

Well it's obvious that he can't. He didn't know he had hit it till somebody told him.

I once nailed a running gobbler in the neck with an offhand shot from a .270 at 100 yards. I wisely stopped right there and concluded I was a terrific shot (compared to likely missing the next nine turkeys that would have come down that trail).

Sounds like me on the first (and only) double while dove hunting, I simply shrugged to my companions and said I was tired of having to waste a whole shell on one dove. Of course I never duplicated it and blamed any subsequent misses on wind, birds changing direction, etc.. ( I actually didn't know the second dove was close enough to be hit) :biggrinjester:

It looks like he was holding that gun very level with the ground, even though he says that he had to aim way above the target.

I did the math when this video first came out. I can repost it if you want, but he only had to aim up a little under 5 degrees.

If you posted the math, it would be way over my head.

I am all the time, impressed with Jermy, he is a legend in the shooting business. Super fast, super accurate, and very nice old man.
