From that weapon at that range with first round hits from a cold barrel that is one impressive and dedicated Billie Piper.
Mahatatain, he is in the household calvary now which is nothing to sneeze at, those boys are elite not just dudes on horses in cute uniforms.
He had his advanced instruction at CTCRM -Commando Training Centre Royal Marines which is pretty close to our SOTIC at Bragg and that is very intense high precision training.

The only people I see exceeding him cold barrel first shot at such range is other SOTIC level qualified personnel, he did his instructors, troop, service,and country proud.
Hell I'm proud of him and I'm American.

It was a hell of a trio of shots.

Found this: "Though the day was clear and still and in thin mountain air, Harrison still had to aim six feet higher than the targets, and two feet to the left to allow for the gentlest of breezes and bullet fall."

I've worked with a lot of SOTIC II and SOTIC I qualified guys, including a couple who've personally killed more Muslims than Genghis Khan and bad hummus put together, and I don't think any of them would consider that shot anything but a low-percentage "wtf? it can't hurt . . ." kind of try (which is what the guy in question thought of it too, if I'm not mistaken).

You know I'm sure this incident was covered here on the forum sometime in December of last year (or maybe early in 2010). While I'm not trying to diminish the achievement, Harrison himself stated that it took him about 9 shots to get the range to target and that his first round (i.e. shot number 10 overall) once on target was a killing shot.
