84 year old Sniper

Watch this guy.. remember, it's been about sixty years since he's done this.

I think this may have been posted sometime in the past, but it's good to relive it again.


84 yr old SNIPER

Thats awesome!. Actually I liked the fact that the old fellah kept wanting to reach forward to support the rifle - just shows how much the muscle memory was kicking in and how different modern weapons and techniques are from WW2.
A great vid.

I watched this a couple of years ago.
I was impressed then by the respect shown to this old soldier and also the fact he can still hit a target at 900 yards.
A good video indeed.
