At first I was wondering about this too.. but take note that the camera is not near the benches.. at the end, they had to communicate with the shooters via 2-way to find out if they were done shooting/ cease fire.
If you turn up the volume, you can hear the actual shots being fired in the background...
People who are calling this BS obviously have no idea what you're talking about, so why would they post a comment? I shoot at this range... those eggs are truly 1040 yards from the shooter. If you don't believe me, or the video, then I welcome you to come to Williamsport and see/hear it for your self. I'll gladly show you around, and prove that you're making yourself look like an idiot by posting comments on a subject you know nothing about.
.22LR making supersonic crack all the way to the backstop? Yeah ok. 2 second time of flight, even if it WAS supersonic .22lr youre only looking at 1280fps with bullets with bc no better than like .18. Thats like 625 yards of distance traveled before the bullet hits the backstop. 40 yards my ass, you don't know what you are talking about.
Great shooting guys. If I had to guess, I'd say the video was shot by the spotters in the trench.

Looks legit to me and I'm what one would consider a long range shooter. I think I could hit it in one minute.

The video is taken from close to the targets, not where the shooters are. Cant see a egg from 1000yards.....

Report sound too close to impact. No one is going to shoot that fast that far away, LOL. Bunch of kids.

Those don't sound like .22LR, I think you need to try harder.

Got to call BS on this one. You guys are shooting .22LRs a lot closer. Nice try. I believe the 40 yards part, not the other crap.
