Seems that Canadians have the reputation as the world's best snipers, deadly at more than a mile. And a Ukrainian recently pulled off a shot over 6000 feet. You can't hide from these guys. Just sayin

Canada is big and sparse, of course we are.
But, what is a mile?
- How'd that Ukrainian get 3000 people to lie down for him to shoot over their feet? That's never going to work in a combat situation.
  
  It's easy if you're a good shot; you just kill 3000 enemy combatants in a line and then shoot the 3001st over their feet.
- An overcompensated kilometer.
- what is a mile?
  1600 large baguette.
- He had 6000 feet?
  
  He’s either amazing at walking or incapable of it… 🤔
- He was an incredible trumpeter and compose. Feet, though?
- About 1,500 liters of maple syrup
- 1 mile is 5280 feet
  
  how many football fields is that?
Iirc The best Sniper in WW1 was a Canadian (An indigenous one to) then came the white death who best his record in Finland, then a Canadian sniper beat him while serving in the middle east
Correct me if I'm wrong, I might have my facts mixed up.
- The Canadians in the middle-east were called the "greatest snipers" by members of the US military - multiple kills over a mile (5280 ft or 1.6 km) but a Ukrainian sniper recently made a shot at well over 6000 ft. Would love to plant a little nervousness in that Orange Chump
  
  RIGHT I forgot about the Ukrainian sniper.
trained by Finns?
- As of the 2016 census, there are 143,645 Canadians of Finnish ancestry.
  
  And we did just pick a Finnish rifle to equip the Canadian Rangers with
Marksmanship is quite popular up here
Whose feet? 🦶
Yeah, those records always omit that it's thousands of bullets sprayed over the vast distance with one coincidentally hitting.
There's a saying that amateurs talk tactics, experts talk logistics and idiots talk about weapons. Marksmanship probably falls in at the same level with tactics.
Edit: Lol, boo all you want, it's true.
