I's not 1/2 mile its 1 1/4 mile.
One of the guys in the shop and I were watching the Today Show early this week as they showed how easy it was to take a picture of someone at 1/2 mile, We smiled. Let me tell how easy it is to shoot something at that distance.
A friend and I were grown hog hunting last October. It was a slow day, cold and windy. We spotted one laying on his den. As I checked the range with my laser range finder, 775 yards Dennis checked wind speed 5 to 8 mph, at about 45 degrees from left to right. We checker out ballistic charts and adjusted our scopes. It was Dennis' shot. As we usually do I watcher through my scope as he touched the 2 ounce trigger on his 6-284. The bullet hit the hog in the middle of the chest. I hadn't shot any so I touched the trigger on my 20X47. It hit in the middle of his head.
