    Nah, if you can’t hit that large a target from 135m you’re a shit shot. Kid should have been accurate up to 300m, especially with an AR-15.

          1 MOA at 300 yards is 3 inches. That margin of error is the difference between grazing an ear and a kill shot.

            That’s why when you’re trained you know to aim for center mass. He was roughly 150m from Trump, that’s a 1.5" group at 1 MOA. If you didn’t hit your target within 8 shots at that distance, you’re a shitty shot. You would never qualify in the military that’s for sure, and their standards are laughable.

              Again, he was a skinny teenage kid, under some pressure that neither you or I have ever shot under. I’d rather applaud the effort than criticize the very near miss.
