How Hard Was The Good Guy's Job In Butler, PA?
So, just how hard was it for the good guys in Butler, PA?
Well, I thought I would use my space at my range and test some ideas to see just how hard was it for the counter team in Butler, PA to end the situation. As I show here, not really that hard! At least, not with good equipment and some practice time!!
I have not been able to find a definite answer that I trust on the actual position the person who ended the threat was, so I'm going with the idea it was the 2nd team not shown in the famous pictures on the further barn roof. I estimate about 150-160 yards.
So, I took my PRS rifle out that is chambered in 6 Creedmoor and verified zero with my previous match ammo. Then went out the next day and started at 100 yards, no problem. Then tried that 150ish range, right through the scope!! Decided that was too easy, so I jumped back to 300 yards and got right through the scope again! Ok, too easy. So, I went back to 500 yards! At this point, it was 20 minutes after sundown and I was losing light. My target was barely visible, so I took 2 shots. Chin and upper chest/lungs.
So, in my opinion, and at least with me on the trigger, this was in no way a difficult shot. The story about the Secret Service team taking a "one in a million" shot to end the situation is total bunk. I practice for PRS matches, so I'm not a tactical shooter, but my skills are better served doing something like this. I think a sub-200 yard shot was like a 13 inch put at the golf course. Or hitting a baseball off a t-ball stand, lol.
I appreciate that the counter team put an end to the situation, but I think I have shown that it was not that much of a "highly skilled, trained professional" type of shot!!
Let me know what else you want me to try with this target! I have a few more ideas and want to try further with my Triggercam set up and charged to get more footage of what I'm seeing and show it to you all. Also, I can try with my AR at about 130 yards and see how many hits I can get on target. That might be a fun video. I just need to get out there before the sun goes down!!
Thank you for watching. I hope you have a great rest of your day and an awesome weekend!!
