[QUOTE="Robert871, post: 1503666, member: 10963"] i just watched it up to the last competition shot before the vote for elimination, and had to come vent. I cannot stand the arrogance, i have not watched the entire season, just the last 2 episodes and this one, but i feel for jay being the only civilian, i can understand come companionship between the military guys, but i feel like hes doomed to be voted every time from here on out just because they want it to be an all military finish, with no thought to how he preforms, and from watching i can guarantee he did not do the best nor the worst with the 1000 yard shot.. also the cocky guy saying "i knew i was going to hit it the first how, how could i call myself a sniper if i didnt" loosely quoted. i have to believe that cocky interview was taken after he managed to hit it the first shot. i attribute more luck and him paying attention to that shot than him being an "uber sniper" the way i see it, he lucked into seeing the first 4 guys shoo before him, noted that all their first shots went left about the same distance, and assumed they lined the recital up with the target and pulled the trigger to judge from that first shot, so he had the luck of seeing that and planning to pre correct right about the distance he thought they were missing by. his experience helped him pull a crisp shot off, and use his mil dots to help. and frankly i am not bashing snipers, i am just saying i have watched documentary on snipers training and demonstrating the same weapon and they do it at 600 yards and say "its next to impossible to hit the first shot until you see where the first one lands and can correct from there" i truly believe had they all not been allowed to watch each others performance, no one would have hit it first shot. and to me, the best marksmen for that challenge was not the "sniper" who hit it first shot, it was the guy that did it in 31 seconds right after that guy, and did it in by seeing where it hit with his first shot and correcting from that, like i have seen it supposed to be done. that is not a shooter only shot, that is a sniper team shot for a reason, correction of impact.
