Veteran gets a little bit of instruction and a modern weapons system and hits a 1000 yd shot that wasn't thought possible in his day.

Seems a few years young to be a WWII vet, but I guess its possible.

The video was uploaded to YouTube over 3 years ago, which means he'd be 89 or 90 years old now.

It goes to show the amount of skill the guy had. I'm sure this guy hadn't shot consistently in a long time. Couple that with getting on a new weapons system and learning technique for making a shot this long, that's pretty impressive.

Would like to sit down with this man and buy him a beer.
