Rumor is some canook is sending out video's of a couple
ranchers
shooting praire dogs in Montana and claming it is a
Candian Sniper
killing terrorists in Afganastan.

My side still aching from laughing. This crazy Canook
is saying a
Canadian sniper in Afghanistan has been confirmed as
hitting an enemy
soldier at a range of 2,310 meters, the longest recorded
and confirmed
sniper shot in history. The previous record of 2,250
meters was set by
US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam in 1967.

Keep dreaming Canaduh, you will never out shoot
Americans.

What part of recorded and confirmend don't you get?

In March 2002 during Operation Anaconda, a five-man sniper
team from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light
Infantry set two new world records for farthest combat
kill with a rifle. First, Master Cpl. Arron Perry broke the
old record by hitting an al-Qaeda forward observer from a
distance of 2,310 metres (over 1.43 miles). Days
later, Perry's sniper teammate Cpl. Rob Furlong set the
current world record by firing a shot from a .50 cal
McMillan Tac-50 sniper rifle that killed an al-Qaeda
soldier at an estimated distance of 2,430 metres (over 1.5
miles).[1] Both shots surpassed the long-standing previous
world record of 2,250 metres (over 1.39 miles) set
by U.S. Marine Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock during the
Vietnam War.
