The American that holds the record for the longest shot/kill in Iraq which was beyond the most effective range of his weapon...duplicated the shot on a range...not once...not twice...but three times consecutively. I repeat it is the spotter that provides the science and it is the art/skill of the shooter...with a little bit of luck. In his case he hit his target for the kill and duplicated the shot three times...consecutively...on a range thus more science and art/skill than luck...now isn't it.
