Hitting at 300m with a glock - how to prove bs

A hit is a far , far difference from an MOA group.

Ok, if you want to be exact, the target is what? 17 inches? Divided by 3 - 5.6 MOA size. It seems to me that shooting with these big irons on from a pistol unsupported with an accuracy of 6 MOA is unreasonable claim. Plus wind, plus elevation.
 
I shoot more in a week then the number of keyboard strokes I take......saying that....If I practiced enough and had a good spotter I am sure I could figure it out in time, some people actually shoot, some people hang out on the web talking about guns.........
 
He's not hitting center mass either, as they're all over the place on the target. He was only trying to prove a point, and we all have taken the safety courses to know that our projectiles can travel quite a distance if we miss our target or the backstop.

Off the top of my head, he's probably holding over 3x the height of the target he sees, assuming the target is around 1m in height, as he has a reference point of a known value to work with. That, and he has a spotter, which is a huge advantage
 
Well, looks like you have your mind made up even though many have done and or stated it is possible and has been done.

Have you tried anything similar before???

I have.

I may steal that for my new sig
 
I have hit man sized targets at 200m with my SR9. Very similar to the pistol in question, using the same basic ammo.

Hickock45 hits stuff quite far out with a 1911. .45acp is quite a bit slower than lighter 9
 
The target shooters at my range set up to hit 2 inches high at 25 to set the target on the sights and hit the middle. That's 24 inches high at 300.

Every additional millimeter up on a 6 inch sight radius gives you a 6 inch at 25 yards.
 
We're all so dependent on technology these days - until the late '60's the government of Canada would supply you with ammo and let you shoot on military ranges as a civilian - one of the games they played was shooting an iron sighted service rifle at a target 1,000 yards away, with issue ammunition. Most folks would call BS if they saw some of the scores shot in those matches, the fact is, with enough practice some very long shots are quite practical.
 
That is Zero from the holy site of Funker tactical!! How dare you question Zero the Guru! I smell a life time ban on funker tactical's Facebook page for you. the wrath of the fanboy will be on you soon.
 
I don't think the shot is out of the realm of possibility.I shoot my Buckmark at 100yrds quite often.I use a steel plate the size of a gallon paint can lid for a target and hit it fairly consistently. It's all it what you practice.If the guy has an aiming point on the backstop that will consistently give him hits it would be fairly simple.He may have a certain dirt clod or something on the backstop that he aims at and has the plate put where the bullets go.Remember there's a reason they're called trick shots.
 
Instructor zero as he goes by does some sweet frill drills.
The funker site that supports him also has a amazing m1a video featuring a cgn fellow with his thread stickied, and funker is also one of the only pro Canadian armed forces media sources, and supports Military minds with their latest coin project.
Funker is great in my books, and I know it can be physically done, so I'll enjoy the video, and leave it be, because a three minute video shouldn't really take up an hour of our life debating it.
 
Zero is nuts and lots of what he does is totally silly, but he's a good shooter.

The video is probably not fake. I don't have trouble with 100m shots and I don't shoot that much anymore, nor do I practise at that range.

Someone who shoots as much as him, and trains for that range, should be able to do it.
 
I regularly practice with a S&W 17 .22LR @ 100 meters on a 12" steel target for fun. 4 out of 6 shot hits is the norm for my bad eyes offhand.
If I could see at all with a pistol @ 300 meters I'd believe it can be done and would try it myself if I had a range for it.
