Yeah, so there's so much equipment. It has to be so dialed in. I mean, they're citing in these things on ranges, and it's so specific. It's 1,700, sorry. 1,700, okay. That's so crazy. That's so far away. That's so far away, you can barely see it. So they're looking through this insane scope on this rifle, and they've got this crosshair on some dude's head that's a mile away, and they go, boom.
And then you just wait. Takes a second. Yeah. I think it takes two seconds. Wow. How many seconds does it take for, let's say, a .300 Win Mag? .300 Win Mag at 1,700 yards. A standard, like, high-powered rifle round that they would use. I don't know if that's what they would use for snipers. Like, those guys are veryβthe long-range guys are very different than any other kind of shooter. Yeah. Yeah.

They're all about the science and the tech and all the stuff that's involved in getting the win. I have a buddy of mine who does long-range shooting. He's not an attacker. He's just a gun enthusiast who likes long-range shooting. He does competitions. And they just shoot steel. And you hear, boom, dink. It's like quite a long while afterwards. Yeah.

So like if you're shooting an animal and it's walking, it's super unethical.

Because you don't know what that thing's going to do. And the time between you shooting the gun, like with a bow and arrow, you never shoot at a walking animal.

Because they're moving. Right. Or if you do, you have to be a real expert and you would lead. You would like shoot them in the front of the shoulder to get into the vitals as they're walking. But that's like... That's an added element of, whew, anything can happen.

Crossbows are a little bit more accurate, and they shoot a bolt faster. instead of an arrow. So it's smaller and it's probably because it's smaller, it's not gonna have as much effect by wind. It's gonna have less to move around, less mass to move around. They're very fast though. Those bolts are way faster than an arrow.

Like an arrow, if you have a really fast bow, your arrow's probably gonna go between 300 and 340 feet per second. That's normal. That's normal for like a high-speed bow. But for a crossbow, what's the fastest crossbow? I bet it's like 500 plus. And then you also have a scope on a crossbow and a trigger. It's much more accurate. You could just put that thing on, bang, bang, bang.
