1.5 Mile Kill Shots. Two of Them!

Craig Harrison, a Corporal of the Household Cavalry, and his driver/spotter Trooper Cliff O’Farrell, both should get free drinks for life. TWO one-shot kills at 8,120 feet. At that range, even the mighty .338 Lapua is dropping like a stone, and to land two back to back kills is a feat of arms indeed. Just because he wanted to show off what an absolute shooting machine he is, Corporal Harrison went on to shoot (to disable) the rifle the two mooj's were using, which drew his attention to them in the first place.

Accuracy International (who produced the rifle used for these shots) had the modesty to admit that luck is a big part of shooting at this range. I'm going to say sure, luck to get perfect weather, and luck to be a human mannequin who can stay still enough to make THREE such shots. Thank God that such men are on our side!
