The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

According to the article, it took 14 shots to hit the target. Is there a limit to the number of shots required to be considered a success?

Regardless, still quite a feat. Must be nice to have the time and resources to do such things.

Granted. I'm sure the first 13 shots were ranging shots.
I would be interested in how often he got hits after #14
