This is what you call a good shot!!
Real miss america
this 19 year old ex-cheerleader (now an air force
security forces sniper) was watching a road that
led to a nato military base when she observed a
man digging by the road. She engaged the target
(I.e. , she shot him). It turned out he was a
bomb maker for the taliban, and he was burying
an ied that was to be detonated when a us patrol
walked by 30 minutes later. It would have
certainly killed and wounded several soldiers.
The interesting fact of this story is the shot was
measured at 725 yards. She shot him as he was
bent over burying the bomb. The shot went
through his butt and into the bomb which
detonated; he was blown to pieces. The air force
made a motivational poster of her:
(folks, that's a shot 25 yards longer than seven
football fields!)
