That's crazy. Cool. But crazy.

Unlike Mike, I doubt I could hit that thing once with a bucket of ammo.

12'x12' target??? Did I read that right?? That is amazing if so! not.... Give me a bucket of ammo!

A sniper from Australia(I think) made a 3500 yard kill about a year ago.

I understand it was a sim shot (simultaneous shooting), and didn't go on record because of it, but that would've been one heck of a shot for cold bore too...

What range do they do this on? Or more likely what position on the property to what range?

Great shot but then again it was a string of multiple shots moving in closer to the target, unlike some of the combat shots that have been one off shots.
