He is the Iceman! He calmly out his coffee on the dash, calmly got his rifle out and chambered a round, neutralized the threat with one well placed shot. All in a days work.

180, is not that far with a rifle. It is for a cop who's been sitting on his butt most of the time and has to use an improvised rest such as the side of a car...  You gotta remember, most cops these days are first, not gun guys, second, are not riflemen. Ed I bet this guy knew his rifle pretty well.

I hope TPD tried sending a social worker or counselor first.

Ron I never did understand all this buck fever crap. It's just another target. And 200 yds ain't that far. Ask any High Power shooter. No optics allowed. Standing on your two hind legs. The need to look for a back stop certainly adds challenge.

"It's just another target" is BS. There is a HUGE difference in shooting at paper and shooting at people. If you have never had a human being in your sights and had to pull the trigger, you cannot fathom the intensity of it.

In Highpower, 200 & 300 are considered to replicate head shots.

The need to look for a back stop certainly adds challenge. Service rifle matches are shot in standing position, no support, no sling at 200yds (also sitting, slung in with 60 seconds to get 10 rds off, including a mandatory mag change). At 300, prone, 70 seconds for 10 rds, mag change included, sling used. They are not shot from a bench rest at all.

Like a damn boss! He was SO calm. That was probably why he was able to pull off such a shot.

And 600 yards in the prone position, with a sling, and the rifle is not allowed to rest against the ground or compress your shooting jacket to the ground if the rifle is pressing against your shooting jacket - 20 shots in 20 minutes, single-loaded.

The comments from the campfire sofa veterans are always fun.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

"It's just another target" is BS. There is a HUGE difference in shooting at paper and shooting at people. If you have never had a human being in your sights and had to pull the trigger, you cannot fathom the intensity of it. Rocky, I know you have been there, and done that. And I have never had to target a human. Hope I never do. But still, I believe such reactions occur in gradients. Some people falter at sight of live game. Some can not shoot a family pet when the need arises. Some can not take aim at a human in a calm manner. But I am sure quite a few can. We could both name a few who became well known.

That was still and excellent shot. The optic he was using is not what any of us here would even consider for a 200 yard shot at wild game, so give the guy his proper accolades.

Thanks I know. I used to shoot service matches. When someone is shooting back at you trying to kill you will that affect your accuracy? He is the Iceman! He calmly out his coffee on the dash, calmly got his rifle out and chambered a round, neutralized the threat with one well placed shot. All in a days work.

Shooting a deer or squirrel is the same as shooting a human being? lol

I doubt the coffee had near the effect the adrenalin had on his system during that event. He handled it well and made a decent shot. All in a day's work? Not exactly.
