      ​@@biohazard8295 I know your not down playing the skill. The training these snipers have to do is insane. To fire that distance, you have to learn how to breathe differently, be so calm, feel your heart beat, math skills, rifles that they use have dual-pods so the only thing they have to really hold steady, other than themselves, is the stock of the gun that is against their shoulder. Hence the reason for keeping yourself steady. Have a good stance if standing, brace yourself. If lying down in the field still keep yourself well balanced and rifle is on a dual-pod and stock is against shoulder. They don't just stand there and hold up the rifle because you won't be able to keep that steady for a 2.2 mile shot.

    It makes my shot hitting 3" target at 600 yards nothing.. It's not like it is in the movies, like Tom Cruses sniper shot at the target range, it takes a lot of dope developing and figuring wind based on mirage, grass blowing, etc. I use a consumer grade app and it takes me looking at my position on a google map, pulling weather data for atmospheric pressure, measuring my angle with accelerometers, as well as compass, range finding either with google map a laser or measuring up an object with my hash reticle hash marks and that's on top of spending money and time measuring the velocity of the ammo with chronograph and assigning that to batches of ammo as well as mapping of my barrel, twist rate, height of scope from barrel, length, etc. Then you get a "dope" to adjust your scope elevation and only then can you take shots and get close enough to make corrections due to wind or barrel temperature.

    i need a good sized range to practice longer shots with my 30-06, hey its what i got and could afford so. back when i was in the army most ranges were 100 with a few rare popup ranges at 300, but here where i live it just 100 anywhere close. so i was looking up on charts for the adjustments for just 300m just to get an idea a while back. it was frustrating because all 3 of the sites i checked with the same input gave me really different results. don't remember exactly but it went from some like a 3 moa to something like 500 moa with the third site being at something like 50 moa. just going by those sites i figured at least 2 out of 3 sites info is likely crap. only way to really know would be with practice, practice, practice. the amount of training, etc., those snipers go through long before they even get their first shot at such a distance is almost mind boggling.

    As someone who’s full time job has been traveling the world for the past 22 years - I regularly get asked overseas what are the biggest differences between Canadian & American cultures. Despite knowing there are some fairly significant differences, it was always hard to put into a few words. This video kinda sums up how I now answer. The ol’ “Canadians are so nice” I’ve been hearing for decades has been beaten to a pulp & Canadians cringe & roll eyes when they hear it. It’s much deeper than the word “nice”. I guess that’s the limit in vocabulary to those who use it. I prefer using the terms “ gracious, accommodating, auspicious. Or perhaps, self-assured, unpretentious or opaque.
    For instance, very early in this discussion, He was very quick to clarify any misconceptions that gave him or any other person credit for an mission that required a “ team “ to execute. It’s almost apart of our DNA. Here’s as close as I can describe it in 1 phrase. -
    “ The Canadian way” -
    When the bell rings, we fight like hell. Use whatever means necessary to win. Find something inside you & never quit. Be a savage! When it’s over, remove your gold medal & shake hands with you’re opponent . Later , If asked about the victory - you’re answer is “ that was the toughest opponent I ever had. Could have gone either way “ lol
    That’s about as much as a generalization as I can give you

    All Marines say they were snipers at work. I'm making light of a half truth. I've always said being a sniper would be the worst job to have. Laying there for days, bored, uncomfortable. I can barely sit 3 hours in a deer stand. New guys that are wide open and tell war stories without anyone asking, over the years, have asked what I did. I tell them I was a rear turret gunner on a submarine. The word gets around and then I get a friend that laughing his ass off tells me the guy believed it. Oldest trick in the book.

    10 seconds is a long shot. I watched someone shooting two miles with a 338.LM.Time from shot to impact 7 seconds and target was 2' x2' Sq. MOA = 30 inches '+ - but close. He hit 2 out of 7. Elevation dead on
    Windage is the wild card at that range in gusty conditions. You can only go off your gut and holds that hit.
    I remember a similar where a shooter asked someone he trusted what his wind hold was. 9.5 mils left was the reply. After dialing ele. he held 9.5 left. squeezed the trigger and , didn't hit paper. He told the shooter he held 9.5 l just like he was instructed and he missed the entire target. The old timer said my shots were off too.
