Aaron lost his hands and arms in a farm accident when he was young.
For perspective: with the target in question measuring 52″ at over 5,280 yards, that’s right about one minute of angle, or equivalent to hitting a one-inch target at 100 yards. Add in numerous additional considerations for factors like the interpositional wind and accentuated bullet drop, which would provide significantly more interference for a 1 MOA shot over 53 football fields worth of distance than over just one, and it’s not hard to see why this hit is so remarkable.
