Skillful

Ryan Cleckner, Former US Army Ranger Sniper Team Leader, present Long Range Rifle Instructor makes a 1000 yd shot with a Barrett M107 .50 Caliber Rifle.

Offhand and cold bore.

Truly one of Darby's grandkids.

Thank you, didn't know him.

That's amazing.
The instability of a standing shot
The wind at the target moving a bit from left to right (and who knows what it was doing in the intervening 1000 yards)
Cold bore and presumably, he didn't sight in the weapon himself and wasn't tuned into its idiosyncrasies.

Amazing---and perhaps, just a touch lucky.

....on target on all counts.

It did and has occurred to me that the .50 cal cartridge helped. Mach 3 and 600+ gr. projectile with high sectional density. The design of the M107, too.

Taking nothing away from the shooter.
