Well it's obvious that he can't. He didn't know he had hit it till somebody told him.
Next video - Blind guy hits hole-in-one.

I once nailed a running gobbler in the neck with an offhand shot from a .270 at 100 yards. I wisely stopped right there and concluded I was a terrific shot (compared to likely missing the next nine turkeys that would have come down that trail).

Sounds like me on the first (and only) double while dove hunting, I simply shrugged to my companions and said I was tired of having to waste a whole shell on one dove. Of course I never duplicated it and blamed any subsequent misses on wind, birds changing direction, etc.. ( I actually didn't know the second dove was close enough to be hit)

It looks like he was holding that gun very level with the ground, even though he says that he had to aim way above the target.

I did the math when this video first came out. I can repost it if you want, but he only had to aim up a little under 5 degrees.

If you posted the math, it would be way over my head.

What was the bullet Velocity at 1000 yard, 10 fps?
I am all the time, impressed with Jermy, he is a legend in the shooting business. Super fast, super accurate, and very nice old man.
