Actually, he was braced on the hood of a van. Still a great shot.VMI77 wrote:I think he was braced on a tree and in SA mode, but even without being braced 65 yards is not that hard with a little practice. A few years ago I had trouble hitting at 50 yards but after some practice I can frequently hit a 10" steel gong at 65 yards (that's about as far back as I usually go with handgun practice) and hit consistently at 50, even with a short sight radius gun like the P938.
