Not even a joke... He probably trained on his PS5, then went to a range.

I'm a pretty damn good shot with my rifle, but at that distance you don't go for the pizzazz of a headshot.. that's a center mass shot ...

400 feet? That’s not what it was. 450 yards? My 7mm PRC I can hit a falling jug at over 1,000 yards.

Within about 1” for so with a rifle/ammo I practiced with.

It takes the right rifle and many rounds of practice but it happens often.



That I don't doubt, you made it sound as if they could do it repeatedly. Yes, a good shot can eventually hit a golf ball at 1000 yards but they're not doing it 10 out of 10 times. That's probably beyond world record territory.

So….deer hunting? 400 feet is a chipshot if you have good equipment and practice. Although a moving head would not be the target of choice.


Targeting the head was the only option for a kill shot since Trump was behind a podium.

A split second earlier and we may be having a different conversation.

I certainly don’t think this was a military trained sniper, yet comparing this to hunting a deer at such a range is not an apples and orange comparison.

Half the people in Louisiana can make that shot if they’ve been deer hunting. We’re lucky this fig couldn’t shoot.

The target moved. If the target hadnt moved his head to the right it wouldve been a head shot.

I mean, he hit Trump in the ear, so he wasn’t that bad.

shite, if he had a typical AR15 in .223 with a basic magazine and basic optics no bipod, most folks miss or don’t do much damage from that range.

But there was a report that the bystander was badly shot with exposed “brain matter” so it could have been a larger caliber. Tough to imagine based on the noise, but who knows?

For the leftists that will inevitably believe it was staged (despite the fact that the guy who agreed to it would have had to voluntarily die for this to be staged), theoretically, if a trained marksman shoots from that distance, and needs to shoot him in the ear, that’s pretty impossible right? Let alone having the confidence to get it done. Let alone knowingly signing up to be killed.


A trained sniper with the right weapon can ear hole a shot at that distance with ease. I’m not taking DEVGzrU snipers either. Most SWAT snipers could do it.

Most deer hunters in America could make that shot 8/10 times

The country is fortunate this piece of shite wasn’t trained

Yet the fact remains another group was equally untrained. A group with a big burden....

Training would have had him shoot center mass and not a moving head

The guys with their modded out AR's are going to dispute this.

basic optics


May have been his problem thankfully. At around 150m or less I would aim over the top of my ACOG (3x)
