The sniper shot at former President Donald Trump from 130 yards away on roof of manufacturing plant
I'm not a gun guy and I've been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 "What the fuck were they thinking?" screw up by the Secret Service.
He likely didn’t adjust for elevation and windage. He likely had the crosshairs exactly lined up where wanted but was too inexperienced or in too much of a rush to properly adjust
you really shouldn't need to adjust for 120 meters beyond setting up your sights for 100 meters then aiming ever so slightly above it. Like unless you've literally got zero weapons experience to know how to put the apple on the post, in which case why are you trying to assasssinate a politician, any shooter should know the most basics of basics of firearm usage
Judging by photos that caught the bullets in flight the shots were at the correct height. The shoot missed to the sides of the target not up/down. Genuine incompetence.
Sounds like they should've put the neck as the apple on the post instead of the head. but I'm not someone planning on doing something as asinine as trying to shoot a politician.
I'll be happy building back at least to the level of what we lost in the communist movement from the the government's red purges and the liquidationists in cpusa
I have to get bullied constantly in the mod mailbox to learn the technical details of link safety, something I'm thankful for but still find very humorous
Not at that range, shaky hands and all an average shooter can hit center mass with a heavy crosswind. Just saw a former secret service counter sniper say at that range hitting your target is "a given". Straight up skill issue.
