I wonder how long it's going to be until someone claims a kill at 3 miles. I cannot in my mind see a Sniper popping someone off at over two miles. Put an Orange colored ball on the shoulder of a long road, walk two miles away and see if you can see it. Now, you say there are Optics involved. Most Certainly. But the Bullet Drop Compensation would have made it impossible to get a target into view at that distance. It would be in feet, not inches. A .50 cal. Bullet is so heavy that it would have hit the ground long before that distance. Certainly not possible to maintain a ten second flight time. So, as the story get's around, people say, "WOW", or "Isn't that something?". I say BS
I will just address one point of this BS post.
If you want to shoot something at 2.1 miles, it helps to have the rifle originally zeroed at 1.5 miles. Not so many minutees of comeup to dial in that way. And remember, each minute of comeup at 3500 yds is 35 inches.
As to the rest of your post, I reference you to Sir Issac Newton.
