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.

At a 1,000 yds....unreal.
Hell his 3 shot group at that distance was what....
10" ?

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.
