Long range shooting is best done by a PAIR of experienced shooters. On a military sniper team, the LEAST experienced shooter pulls the trigger. The senior guy dopes the wind and gives the shooter his wind hold in mils, eyeballs the elevation turret and confirms the range setting is correct, an reads and interprets the bullet trace. So, saying that maybe some of these long range kills would never have happened without a good coach, doesn't mean they should not have taken the shot, IMO.
