Default Impossible shots

Anyone watch it last night? Mr. Flintlock (J. Sutton) shot a balloon at 300 yds offhand. I took a couple tries. And he had to switch from is normal .58 cal to a .45 cause the .45 shot flatter.
No backboard so he didn't know where he was missing. But he got it with the .45 on the 2nd or 3rd try.
Pretty cool.

There are recorded hits during the revolutionary war of early settlers with their "Kentucky Rifles" against the British muskets. And early snipers shooting 300 yards hitting British Officers with roundball. In fact the British Army felt it uncivilized to shoot at officers.

A balloon at that distance, and free hand.. now that man can shoot!!!
