Shooting Sports USA by SSUSA Staff - Monday, August 26, 2019
Randy Wise set a new ELR Central World Record at a mind-blowing distance of 2,158-yards during the 2019 NRA Extreme Long-Range Nationals, held at Camp Atterbury, IN, on Friday, August 23. From a cold bore, he went three for three shooting at a 36-inch square white steel plate.
Wise was shooting a Savage Arms rifle, chambered in .338 Lapua with the stock 26-inch, 1:9-inch barrel, Accurate Rifle Systems chassis, Rempel bipod and Rifle Basics trigger. The scope was a Vortex Golden Eagle. And for his load, Wise used Lapua brass with Berger 300-grain hybrid bullets, Federal 215M primers and 90.5 grains of Retumbo powder. Ballistic solving was provided by Applied Ballistics.

Just curious?
Wouldn't an armed drone, or swarm of ddrones be more effective, than taking one shot?

Nope. Like any competition there are rules: https://elrcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2018-NRA-MATCH-RULES-Final-1.pdf (https://elrcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2018-NRA-MATCH-RULES-Final-1.pdf)

I suspect @truth_seeker was talking about a combat situation, not the competition.

My fault. I have this idiosyncrasy that causes me to try and stay on topic. I need to loosen up.

Yes that was my thinking. I didn't mean to detract from the skilll of a sniper. It is my understand snipers work in teams and sneak up close enough to "see" their target.
My thought was to beg the question, wouldn't drone technology present an equal or better method of killing an enemy?
I am not a techie. But following 9-11-2001 we were told that "eyes in the sky" could read license plates from afar.

A sniper team may be on location for days. How long can a drone cover the same area?

Drones make a racket. Snipers are silent but deadly.

I don't even ask what my son spends on his firearms.
