DUffy, I do have 2 witnesses. That particular morning, I was using my 1,000 yd match rifle. As I said, conditions were absolutely perfect, or I would have never comtemplated taking the shot. I made sure I knew the range, because I had set small range flags on the drainage ditch banks. The shot was across cut corn fields, with these drainage ditchs cut thru them. I had set these flags out a few days prior tot he hunt, lasered the ranges from each flag to the blind, and recorded them. I had shoot this rifle for many years, and I know it' s and my, capabilites and limitations. The shoot was like placing a round in the X ring at 1,000yds.
