Yeah but I'm pretty sure I've seen more of that video and they're sitting on a bench rest - hell a 10 year old could make that shot with a good scope and sandbagged into a bench rest.

Tell me about it. I would hate to be on his bad side. He could probablly take you out at 1,000 yards.

No way, theres alot more to that shot than just having a gun with a good sighted in scope.

I know a "little" about shooting and they knew the exact yardage prior to the shot, sitting on a rest, with rifle bagged in. What does that tell you? Argue with me all day long but it's not like a sniper having to do this offhand. Find the rest of the video - actually as I recall it was videos, they shot multiple deer in it off that bench rest. You guys are getting impressed over something you shouldn't be. And don't tell me "if the wind was blowing" - this was staged video.

Not trying to pick a fight here or anything but, how many 950 yards shots have you made, I do a lot of 5-600 yard shooting and can not imagine a 900+ yard shot, I have a custom built rig, nothing real fancy or real expensive, cost me around 2 grand, but it will shoot sub 1/2" MOA at 300 yards off of bi-pods and sandbags if the conditions are right. Anybody who can make a consistent 950 yard kill shot on a deer has countless hours not only shooting but reloading and tweaking and studying how atmospheric conditions effect bullet flight, and several dollars spent. If that was a true 950 yard shot it is indeed impressive.

There are tons of videos made by the two people that made this one. I have seen alot more. But Rodslinger should see all of them. Because the two that made this one live in West Texas. They have alot of Coyote Hunts from all over the country. My favorite was them taking a coyote with an oversized highpowered rifle.

Yep, I've seen the entire set of videos as well.... Yes, there is no question that this shooter is quite good and practiced but a 950 yard shot on an animal is NOT responsible hunting.... The chances of this shooter (hunters get up close and personal) wounding this animal and never finding it, leaving it to die a miserable death, are pretty extreme at that range.... My 338-378 Weatherby has the energy and is still supersonic to take that shot at even 1300 yards... I won't go much past 300 under ANY circumstances...

Just my 2 cents....

First off yes I've made long shots so trying to judge me there you're going to loose. By reading your statement apparently you feel you couldn't make the shot. I'm telling you right now I could. Given the practice and the same setup - what you guys are acting like is he made this shot with an open sighted 30.30. WTF? Is he a good shot - sure, so are 99%...ok 90% of the people I hunt and shoot with. IF YOU THINK THIS GUY POSSES SOME MAGICAL POWER IN HIS BREATHING AND TRIGGER SQUEEZE THAT THE REST OF GOD's EARTH DEOSN'T POSSES GET REAL.
I'm going to say this again - HE IS ON A REST WITH NICE OPTICS, KNOWN RANGE and OBVIOUSLY not shooting a friggin Wal-Mart special. What makes that shot so special????? Again - he's outfitted for it, sitting down with nice optics, known distance and obviously the right weapon......sorry y'all think you couldn't make the same shot. I know my shooting skills and I could - sorry you don't trust yours. I recommend more range time.
Oh and BTW - let him post the ones where he shot the deer in the azz or the front leg. Somehow this guys is so great he's never made a bad shot......or at least one that made it to video.
