[Kirk Freeman]

Ryan Cleckner fires 1,000 yards, off hand, first shot hit on humanoid steel, with an M107 (.50 USMG rifle).

No, it is not gun shop teeth talk ("oncet I shot me a . . ."). In front of witnesses he rings steel. Video at link.

Yeah ,I had a guy hand me a compact glock in 45 acp ( don't ask me what model as I am not a glock man)and I shot a pop can off a berm at 50 yards ,first shot.

I handed it back to him without taking another shot.
He still tells his friends what an awesome shot I am.

1000 yards, I'd have a hard time just seeing the steel, much less hit it, even with the scope.

you must live out west.... not many places to shoot a 50 1000 yards in indiana... what was your back stop?

Damn impressive!

We have a place in Indiana where we can shoot .50 BMG's to 2,500 yards. Level as a house floor for that far and a 20 foot high earth berm back stop.
1,000 yards off-hand with anything is impressive, let alone a .50

That was one heck of a shot...I want to see him do it again.

Kirk, he obviously didn't watch the video or he would of known it was in Texas. Also, I'm betting that range is on at least 1000 acres. Very common for land owners in that part of the state sitting on 1000s of acres. So, plenty of room for long range shooting.

Wow. I wouldn't even be able to hold that thing still. Go Rangers!

 

[churchmouse]

Man I want one of those. Problem....where in the hell would you shoot that in Indiana???

 

[phylodog]

Made all the more impressive when considering the "accuracy" of that weapon.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

He was also waiting for the camera man while holding on target. Just few seconds for more muscle fatigue to ad to the difficulty.

 

[ScouT6a]

I bet my Capt. one time that I could hit a target at 300 yards with my Beretta M9. Didn't hit it on the first shot. It took three. Glad I had witnesses but these kinds of shots prove the old saying, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again"

 

[GunSlinger]

That's insane! I couldn't have done that using 100 rounds from a prone position.

 

[KoopaKGB]

Over half a mile away while standing!? Holy smokes. Part of me doesn't want to believe it.

 

[Larryjr]

THAT WAS AWESOME!

 

[FootLoose.45]

thats a heck of a shot off hand. he acted like it was no big deal and just set the gun down and walked away. even if he has done it before its still impressive that it took only one shot.

 

[ScouT6a]

Great shot, but consider the shooter's training, qualifications and experience. Like most things, long range shooting is learned. After countless hours of training, practice, practice and more practice and years of real life application it can be made to look "easy". Still a lot that has to be factored in a shot like that but if you apply the four basic fundamentals of marksmanship you're most of the way there.
When you do make a shot like that, of course you put the gun down and walk away! LOL
