For cryin' out loud. 5" at 1k yards. Imagine what he was capable of in his prime.

Wait, where's the "3 shot groups don't count" chumps?
I hope I can still do that at 84.
I hope I can still do that at 84.
I'd be happy to do that now.

I'd be happy to just be alive at 84.
What a badass! This is why we won WWII. It wasn't the equipment, it was the caliber of soldier that won us the war. Guys like this guy. I'm not only impressed with his shot, I'm also in awe of his skill despite his age.
Badass is right! He still has it and then some.
Now if I could just figure out his secret...
Hell, I'd be ecstatic to hold a 5 foot group at 1K. Huge respect!
I think I know how this guy may have been during the war:

That gave me chills... awesome shooting!
.5 MOA with an unfamiliar rifle? I don't really believe in luck, so I'm impressed... [not-worthy]
That is impressive, but I am a bit confused.
I am friends with Robby, and I will certainly ask him, but that has to be footage that is at least 5 years old. Robby left the Army to work for Remington Defense and is currently employed by SIG, certainly not active duty. It was posted today, but my Google Foo must be off because I can't find the backstory on that video, which looks like it was posted on YouTube in 2011, still. Did Shooting Gallery do a re-run, or was that somehow tied in to something current?

I recall seeing that video a long time ago... certainly isn't new.
Yup. Not a new video. I've seen that one before. Doesn't make it any less badass though.
What a boss. And he's so humble!
