1000 yards is a looooonnnnggg shot. very difficult.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

very impressive! Personally I wouldn't give most 80 odd year olds a tv remote, let alone a 1903 Springfield sniper rifle. 
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

A great story and amazing shooting! It's nice to see someone who put it on the line for us many years ago, getting that sort of respect. Definitely brings a tear to your eye.
