Incredible 3,600 Yards Rifle Shot [VIDEO]

On September 28th, 2014, a team from Hill Country Rifles joined with expert instructors from FTW Ranch to attempt a 3600 yard shot onto a 36” steel target. At more than 2 miles, it will take the bullet a full 7.2 seconds to reach the target.

New Jersey native Jim Spinella is not a stranger to long distance shooting, but this shot would be a new personal record. One that few would ever consider attempting.

Billy Carter made a longer 3,650 yard (2.07 miles) shot in 2013, but it was at a much larger 12’x12′ square target, not the much smaller 3′ target Spinella made here.
