It is one of the things you can do up there in the sky that I have not (yet!) done.  Tremendous sport! ;)

You win! :y

My brother (an army marksman) once challenged me to a shooting match. Foregone conclusion he would win. We were dead equal at the end so I said I will cut the string supporting the target with this shot. And I did. That was the best shot of my life (and lucky)  ;D

Once managed a 1" group at 200m with an iron sight.  Not on the SA80 though as it is not built for marksmanship (it fails on the 4th marksmanship principle) it was a HK G3 7.62 which is a brute of a weapon to fire but fantastically accurate if you can use it properly.  I hated cleaning it though ;D

Wow  :y  in the Army I had a Dragunov SVD that a wee bit more than a simple rifle as SVD has closely 1.5 times range to that but less than a sniper rifle...in proper hand it is also lethal.

In the proper hands, Laslo, a toothpick can be lethal.

SVDs while great to fire are not great to carry and only 10 rounds......that said bloody accurate if memory serves :y

Not into picky taking unfortunately - you win hands down on that score - but the best shot I had in my life was with a .308 target rifle (7.62 for those who like metrication) T 1200 yards at Glen Tilt range (Blair Athol, Scotland) with iron (open) sights and a leather sling. No bipod, no telescopic sight.

Cold shot, windage calculated as per tables, and got an inner carton.

To those that don't shoot it's a bit of a 'Wtf' kinda thing but I'm quite proud of it.

...but which is your best shot?

That's a nice Zipper What did you jump? Javelin? Vector? Nine cell or seven?
Where was that taken? Looks like a good day for jumping!
I'll have to see if I can find some of the big way stuff I was doing in the UK and Europe. Last time I jumped was in 2009. Do you still get your knees in the breeze or have you stopped jumping now?

Blue Skies, Johnny English, Blue Skies! :y
