Hoyt_shooter -... please. LOL!

OBVIOUSLY the guy who said he was a marine sniper who allegedly wounded all those deer is either lying he was or the person who said that about him is misinformed; possibly stretching the truth. Hmm?

Most shot techs who are formerly trained don't mention their credentials for a variety of reasons; one being they know there's no real need to.

Well iSnipe, I'm just trying to be diplomatic, not judgmental, but to be honest, I think a 600 yard shot might be a stretch, but I'll never know. I mean, c'mon, 600 yards is a little over 3 tenths of a mile, and to hit a target the size large grapefruit, that's tough. I sure as hell can't do it. I might could do it 1 out of 5 or 6 tries, with a spotter, solid rest, and a kick a$$ scope. But...who knows, I watched my grandfather, a retired marine, hit 5/6 coke cans with his 1911 Colt 45 at 50 yards. I would of never believed it if I didn't see it myself. He later admitted it was a bit of luck, but 5/6 aint to shabby at all. Good luck this season.
