Ted Gundy served honorably in WWII. He was a designated sniper, and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
Back in 2009, he wrote to the folks at the Shooting USA channel, wondering how modern snipers are able to make shots at 1,000 yards or more.
This led to the Shooting USA folks arranging for him to visit Fort Benning. The Army gave him honored treatment…
…including letting him take some shots with the Army’s best marksmen.
I can’t find the original “Impossible Shots” version on the ‘Tube, but this is a tribute produced in 2015 after Mr. Gundy passed (he was 90).
Awful lot of dust blowing in from Africa these days, you know?
