Snipers are poo hot!

If you want to read a good book, then read, "One shot, One kill: The Carlos Hathcock Story!"

Not even the Mythbusters were able to recreate Carlos' shot through the scope of an enemy sniper!

"One shot, one Kill" is their moto. I always thought it should be, "When you want to reach out and kill someone!"

I hope they award him the Victoria Cross for that!

I've read that book, and it is great.

The my favorite is "Don't Run. You'll only die tired."

Sweet. I saw an interview with the Canadian sniper who held the previous mark, and even he said that at ranges like that, even with all your training, you're really just trying to place the round within 3 feet of the target and a direct hit is pretty much luck in anything but perfect conditions. Any little gust or even difference in atmospheric pressure will send that bullet way off mark.

Doing it twice is damn impressive though.

Apparently the curvature of the earth comes into play at that distance :eek:

      He doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA. He had the worst numbers of anyone who worked out in this draft. He's legitimately the least athletic player in this draft, which is saying something.   His ceiling is Kyle Korver, with his lack of athleticism he's more likely to be out of the league in 5-6 years like Jimmer Fredette.

      Well, he was in probably every NBA franchise's top 6 or 7. Obviously it's nice to take the swing and it work out. But when a guy refuses to work out for your team, is probably the guy refusing to play with LaMelo, has sketchy handlers, etc.? You want...to take that swing? A desperate team does, sure. Which the Hornets are. But a smart team doesn't. Which is what they will hopefully become.  Kon isn't a superstar, but his floor is Kyle Korver. Is that what you want in the 4th pick? Not really, but he's your 4th guy on a good team and what I think Charles Lee wants in a player.  Trade down would've been nice, but for who? Tre Johnson would've been my guy, but he's gone if we trade with Brooklyn. If Washington wanted Ace, I doubt it would've taken much to come get him. Trade down and get Maluach (knowing you're trading Mark) would make sense and may have been the play, but I think Kon helps the team on the court and changing a culture. Not so sure about some of the guys in the 8-12 range.
