According to the article, it took 14 shots to hit the target. Is there a limit to the number of shots required to be considered a success?

Regardless, still quite a feat. Must be nice to have the time and resources to do such things.

Granted. I'm sure the first 13 shots were ranging shots.
I would be interested in how often he got hits after #14

Check out the orientation of the scope...a 'modified' mount...it would HAVE to be!
