2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

I just came here to post that I did, in fact hit a can of red spray paint at one mile on my first shot with .338 LM. Now, I wasn’t aiming at the can and didn’t even realize it was there. But it was easy to see the impact when the can exploded.

LMAO, this just reminded me. The Manatee range used to have a berm at 565 yards. I was blasting at clay pigeons with my .308 when I spied what I thought was a red coke can down in some veg at the base of the berm. All of a sudden smoke starts billowing up and within seconds you couldn't see much of anything at the berm.

I didn't know what it was, I just sat there like I was Joe Dirt and had shot the roman candle at the A-bomb!

People are saying what is it? And Gene Pitts goes "oh somebody hit one of the fire extinguishers." It must have been a very LARGE one, not nearly as impressive as the OP's red bull, lol.

Here’s a legit shooter offhand at 1000 yards on a 24” target. No first shot hits. Overweight Windblow is FOS

A quick bit of math would show that with a .25 MOA rifle, on a 6.125" vertical x 2.25" target, you need a wind call inside .5 feet per second and a velocity inside 2 fps and a range +/- 1 yard, at which point you have about a 30% chance of a hit. That's using a .375 CT with solids at 3200 fps. With a .338LM, the chances of a hit are about 4%.

Questionable is being pretty generous.

This has to be some sort of AI-generated video. The words this guy says, and types here make no sense within the context of the discussion or video. I would wager that the account posting is a SH user parking the forum. The shit on YT is straight :poop:.

Honestly he’s trying to be like AvE. https://youtube.com/@arduinoversusevil2025?si=5jF2_YmFst9c9NGa Even his tone is a ripoff. The actual issue being AvE is an actual professional in the content he creates and he actually knows what he’s talking about!

I doubt his shots as well. Easy to do it 1000x till you get it right, know where you got to stand and aim and blah blah, then roll the camera for the last shot and be like here, I am so badass i made a first round hit at 1000 yds with my .45 offhand. Jerry is a talented shooter but I call BS on those shots. That’s gonna get a bunch of peoples panties in a wad.

Jerry claimed that he hit the target at 1000. Which I believe. He never claimed a 2nd shot hit. We made that assumption by watching the video.

There is a full video somewhere that shows much more of him doing this. There’s absolutely no question that he’s practiced this a lot. He practices everything a lot. Isn’t that a good thing? If you’re shooting your rifle all the time at long distances with known controlled loads and really know what you are doing, don’t you think that that is the exact same thing? (Rhetorical questions aimed at the general group and not you, JBoomhauer)

I totally understand calling bullshit on the OP video guy as it’s obvious that he’s just going for Utube clicks and the $. Sure, Jerry does too, but he a known high level pistol shooter at the top of his game. I absolutely believe the shot.

First time I took out my stock S&W M&P9 and shot at 100, then 200 yards, I had to get the range and holds right. It took me more than a few shots at each distance until I had it down and could ring steel regularly at will. Next time I went to the range. It took no more than a shot or two to repeat that. How’s that so hard to believe?

Yes, 1000 yards with a pistol is a fur piece to hit at, but if he’s practiced and sent 100s, if not 1000s of rounds down range at that distance, it’s what is called practice.

Anyway, back to the name calling and disbelief from people that have never attempted nor practiced anything in their lives apparently…

That’s all fair points. A lot of people think all this crap is rocket science. It’s really not. Reminds me of a guy I seen struggling at the range one day to get his dope on a 26” TRG. Had all kinds of gizmos to help him. He was shooting out to 500-550 yds. I knew he was having trouble and I walked over and told him to dial his windage back to zero and hold left edge of target and dial 3.4mils of elevation and carefully send it. Boom. Hit. Dude was in disbelief and asking how I knew all that. It’s called experience. There is a lot of people in life that claim to know crap that really don’t know shit. So it’s good to carefully absorb all info. Nothing wrong with questioning things. We should all be skeptical because as I said there are many out there that claim to know stuff and really don’t know crap. Sometimes they are easy to spot, sometimes they are not.

So yeah, there is no doubt in my mind Jerry hit it at 1000 yds with a pistol offhand. I just never took the time to go back and watch the original video in full. The person that reposted it back in the day had claimed it was a first round hit, as in new location, new unknown distance and so on and cut most of the video out. Context means everything. Clearly he shot this many times and knew the distance and exactly where he needed to stand. Jerry is a talented shooter but there are many out there. Some of them might not even be that known. Practice makes perfect!

PS it’s also not Jerry’s fault that people repost videos and place them out of context making some crazy claims. He is just the guy behind the trigger, not the guy posting the videos. You also have to consider that Jerry shoots more in a year than most people shoot in a lifetime.

And it's not peoples fault that video shows he hit it on second attempt.
Let him make video where he hit it 50 times out of 100 tries.
That's the point
 
It really kind of sucks for him. He has destroyed his ability to participate in competitive shooting and made himself an object of ridicule for the whole shooting world. Obviously shooting is a big part of his life, and now he is never going to be able to show his face at an actual match, ELR event, or be any place around actual marksmen. He will get recognized.

If he does, I'd imagine it would generate t-shirts, stickers, challenge coins, and the normal, meanspirited fuckery that surrounds asshats when they demonstrate who they are.

Part of me thinks he doesn't give a shit and that shooting is just a means to an end for him, the end being $

Guys like him don’t participate in competitions. They are legends in their own minds. A dose of reality would crush their ego. He knows everything, and yet nothing, all at once.
