Whats the farthest you've ever shot?

500 yards, head shot, 1983 Lebanon, M16A1, prone position.

Semper Fi. Bad times there. Good shot.

Lucky shot... but I was a very good shot when training / practicing and it actually transferred in the field. I lost a lot of good buddies over there when they bombed our barracks. I was on duty when it went down.

Remember a Ronny Bates?

Mmmm I can't remember how far away OP's mom was at the time. Oh well.

I think so but there were two. We called the older one Bob. I think the younger one was killed if I recall correctly, he was a nice fellow, worked in the hospital if I recall correctly. He was a Navy guy I think. My memory is shot these days.

You are correct. I'm friends with one of his brothers. Good family.

He's definitely got the record for volume. Not sure about distance, however.

LOL, he's made a fine living for himself with the "volume" he spews, and then he gets to blast cute faces as well, nice work if you can get it..

Well my memory is better than I thought. I actually got to know him a little because I think he was one of our battlefield corpsman but not on that day. I try to forget that day, now I need a drink...

Sorry about that. Thanks for your service.
