I highly doubt he was doing wind assessments.

More likely he just wasn’t talking that into account.

Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors for leadership.

Needs to be said over and over

“Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day.”

This should be on a poster in every HR person’s office in America.

Where did the 488 yard shot come from? I haven’t seen that yet?

If the shooter had open sights as has been said, then there’s 0% chance he was using any windage even Kentucky windage. It would have been a hell of a lot better to have just a basic magnified scope.

I don’t think it’s meant to be read literally and technically, just stating how much of a close call it was

I’m not convinced the first shot was the ear shot. Either way, we are lucky this was a .223 semi auto vs a bolt long rifle.

I’m relieved that he choose a head shot as well rather then a body shot.. definitely would’ve been hit had he chose that the chest

He’s totally 100% wrong and full of shite. Wind does not come into play at 130 yds!
