    If you're going to proclaim "world record", you would think that it's not taking 69 ####ing shots to land

    lmao

    I've shot 105mm artillery with better groupings than that, and that's an area weapon

    This isn't that remarkable though.

    After trying to hit a 3000 yard target and a 1kph wind sends the bullet 10 meters off target.
    If you think you can do better have at it.
    I'm impressed.

    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    Repeat the shot 69 times and you will succeed eventually.

    This is a lame world record claim. 60 plus shots to hit a target! Common man. This isn't a record to be proud of...this is just a bullchit egotistical dick touching contest. If he wouldn't hit that target with 1-3
    rounds that'd be something to talk about. This is nothing more the an example of hit probability from someone who has a bigger ego then brains.

    Never in doubt, seldom correct.

    Either way it is pretty cool.

    As stated the shot needed to be repeatable to be recorded as any kind of record.

    If he had taken even 100 shots to zero it, then hit that large target at least twice in a row, or even five times out of 10, he'd have something to share.

    I once hit a raccoon at over 1000 yds with a 243. Took over 30 shots, walking bullets all around it throwing up dust, until one happened to hit it. It wasn't stationary either. Yet I never bragged at how accurate that rifle was, nor how skillful I was, as it was a hit that was nothing but chance - it was fun, albeit expensive, and I never tried it again.
