Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 3000 yard shot in news from Ukraine

Baselines, like bottom lines the only thing I am sure of about the Ukraine/ Russia conflict is that my tax dollars are being pissed away and or laundered away into somebody else's pocket
Their is no honesty about any of it from the gov'ts involved or the media reporting any part of it. That's the truth of it... so the shot? Who knows.mb

Big deal! The Iowa was sending 2000 pound projectiles past 20 miles over 80 years ago...

I killed 5 deer one time with one shot made from 13,000 yards!

Impossible. I'd believe two at the most. At 13,000 the bullet's trajectory is such that the deer would not only have to be lined up horizontally, they'd have to be on a 27.5 degree downward slope. Plus, you left out the coriolis calculations.


Johnburns taught me that.

When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot at a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at.

A Canadian Army friend of mine and some of us U.S. soldiers were drinking together one night overseas when, while drunk, he stood up, held out his glass and exclaimed "Canada, number one at being just north of the United States!". You've never seen drunk soldiers laugh much harder. Great times.
