I think they should let the Korea & Vietnam snipers take part. Some of those guys set records with alot less as far as rifles go. History Channel had a special about the top 12 snipers in the American Military, yeah some were current especially since the .50 cal came into play, but quite a few were Vietnam Vets & a couple of Korean Vets. They even had some of the older guys shoot with what the would have used back then & they were spot on still. My dad was a Green Beret in Vietnam when they sent them in on scouting missions in 59. He amazes me the things he can do when he's shooting. He's got a certificate because he was the 1st person to shot a perfect score on one of the ranges just can't remember which one. He's getting up there in age but he can still hit what he's aiming at. I would love to pick some of you snipers brains just to learn some like how to dope the scope & how to figure out what you need to know so you can.
