    It was a cool video to watch. I think you can tell that the crew was really pulling for the guy. Dude seemed genuine but a tad douchey to make that kind of claim. 10/22 would have had to of been capable of around 1/3 MOA (with open sights) to make repeatable hits with no wind. Highly unlikely to say the least. Get 22Plinkster out there with a Voodoo or something like it and maybe there's a chance.

    IDK re this; but, many years ago near a small town whch was our “jumping-off point” for Granddad’s houseboat camp, there was a bizarre incident in which a man working in a rice field “dropped dead”.

    Autopsy showed an intra-cardiac bullet. Entry wound was found at left infra-axillary region.

    Investigations found a man who admitted to shooting at airborne birds in that direction with his .22 on the other side of the town.

    I can’t recall the actual distance, but it was at least of this magnitude.

    Dawico does that every time we have a range day.
    With other people's pistols.
    It's impressive, but not unusual.

    There is always a chance they were shooting that distance years ago. If you do it often enough, in the same conditions, I can see some muscle memory to be able to do it just often enough that it was tried frequently and sometimes succeeded. It doesn’t hurt to have buddies giving each other a hard time and trying to outdo one another.

    He seemed to get pretty close in the video.
