    Default 2000 yards? I called BS

    A friend was talking about a guy he grew up with that he said was amazing with a rifle. The story was that he hit a plastic deer at 2000 yards first try. The claim was that it was a 30-06 bolt action rifle using iron sights. I think at that distance with iron sights the sights would totally obscure the target and more. Outside of luck is this even remotely possible?

    I figured as much, I'm guessing the event actually happened but probably was 200 yards. I tried to be nice a bout it but basically told the guy no way in hell. "first shot" lol

    if you've ever done any shooting at 1000, or beyond, then hear someone make a claim of 2000, or beyond, with open sights, you'll just giggle and move on.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.
