Americans Set New Long Range World Record! 5,000 yards (2.84 miles)

[Andy in NH]

it's 40" target, probably good enough to hit a land whale. Shit, I can hit a car from 10000 yards, but it would probably take me a million rounds to do it.

This "record" needs to

1. Hit a reasonable, usable target, like an average size commie noggin, not some arbitrary 4 foot circle. (no one is that fat unless Kim or Moo)

2. Be consistent, i.e. hit the target 10/10 times in a row.

everything else is hype and publicity stunts.

Concur.

I guess I'm missing the point of this. Was the exercise dine to just be able to hit the 40 inch target?
Throw enough bullets at it and you'll eventually hit it.
Repeat it, and I'll be impressed. 5 of ten and I'll be impressed.

Agreed.
