950 foot or 950 yards?

Seems unlikely that one would risk such a shot and still call themselves a true sportman. I am an expert markman who trained with the 101st Airbourne and refrain from taking any shots beyound 250 yds and believe me, I have practiced the 250 yd shot form particular stands--not an easy thing to do--all conditions have to be perfect.

Sirs, My very good friend, Cpl S.G. Nidty, USArmy Sniper, 23rd artillary Unit, Milwaukee, WI was able to demonstrate his marksmans skills two years ago when he brought his army issued Remington Mod #700 in 308 cal., along with his Leupold 12 power scope, just like the ones sold at our local sptg goods store; This man was putting centers in 8" paper plates at 1000 meters, very consistantly. That wd be close to the distance purportedly on the questioned video. I have no doubt my friend could indeed drop a deer sized animal, (even smaller0 at 950 yds, if indeed they are taught to 'take out' enemy at 1000 meters thru the head. Sorry to be this graphic, but this is not only in the realm of possibility it could mean the soldiers life as well as those he was directly responsible for. A sportsman, that is not the question; But it can be done!!!
