[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 15635081, member: 6727"] That is an amazing sharpshooting feat, but as RDJ said, a spotter was involved. And that spotter has to get a lot of the credit. It was definitely a team effort. According to ex-U.S. Ranger Ryan Cleckner, “[I]The spotter would have had to successfully calculate five factors: distance, wind, atmospheric conditions and the speed of the earth’s rotation at their latitude. Because wind speed and direction would vary over the two miles the bullet traveled, the true challenge here was being able to calculate the actual wind speed and direction all the way to the target. To get the atmospheric conditions just right, the spotter would have had to understand the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure of the air the round had to travel through.[/I]" Pic of the 50 caliber McMillan TAC-50 rifle used.
