Seems that Canadians have the reputation as the world's best snipers, deadly at more than a mile. And a Ukrainian recently pulled off a shot over 6000 feet. You can't hide from these guys. Just sayin

Canada is big and sparse, of course we are.

But, what is a mile?

How'd that Ukrainian get 3000 people to lie down for him to shoot over their feet? That's never going to work in a combat situation.

Iirc The best Sniper in WW1 was a Canadian (An indigenous one to) then came the white death who best his record in Finland, then a Canadian sniper beat him while serving in the middle east

Correct me if I'm wrong, I might have my facts mixed up.

The Canadians in the middle-east were called the "greatest snipers" by members of the US military - multiple kills over a mile (5280 ft or 1.6 km) but a Ukrainian sniper recently made a shot at well over 6000 ft. Would love to plant a little nervousness in that Orange Chump

Yeah, those records always omit that it's thousands of bullets sprayed over the vast distance with one coincidentally hitting.

There's a saying that amateurs talk tactics, experts talk logistics and idiots talk about weapons. Marksmanship probably falls in at the same level with tactics.

Edit: Lol, boo all you want, it's true.
