Gnat's Ass Accuracy – New World Metric Record
UPDATED (7/21/2014) Celebrating the US Independence Day in style, a shooter has set a new world record for 100 meter accuracy. The spread? 1.27 mm (.05 inches)! The shots were recorded at the 5th European Benchrest Competition in Volmerange, France on July 4th, 2014.
I am lucky (with a good rifle) to put all the holes in a MOA. This shooter has skills and equipment far beyond anything I or anyone I know is capable of.
Magnifique!
