[QUOTE="morpheus32, post: 387232, member: 7086"] Well said. The internet quarterbacking is incredible...particularly on other sites...LRH remains gentlemenly in its comments...generally! I think the only thing wrong here is the newspaper.....which is saying much for the times....sought to make a flashy tabloid article out of an event. I don't think it is right or fair to comment on the event based on the poor reporting by the press. I can tell you the MoD would have been very careful with announcing the record shot. I can speak from first hand experience that the Canadian Govt and army spent alot of time confirming the previous record by Cpl Furlong. It was a detailed process. I think the MoD and his chain of command did the same. The release of the soldier's personal information is of concern.... One thing to comment. Most sniper (brit and cdn) are using vector binos that are slaved to a GPS. What it allows you to do is produce a grid reference to the target as well as range and direction. Wonderful pieces of equipment.... [/QUOTE]
