General Discussion

I bet the number of hunters in America who have actually made a 200 yard shot on a deer or elk is exceedingly small. I'm sure there are many that will say they know someone who made a 200 yard shot, but if you actually went to the location of their shot and stepped it off it'd be 100 or 120 at the most.

And then you've got wind to deal with.

But I agree with your points about having the nerve to do it and the skill to have a pan to escape at least for now. If this person is still at large a month from now, they're almost for sure funded by a government or an ex spy of some sort who knows all the ins and outs of the FBI's tools for tracking them.

I've been to the range, I've shot targets in the woods. People aren't even practicing 200 yard shots from what I have seen.
