One helluva shot SGT. Johnson!

Roy · Dec 2, 2014

One shot. With a pistol. While holding the reins of two horses. From over 300 feet away. IN THE HEART.

Glad this guy is protecting my city!!

Luv it!

That's nothing. I've seen Clint Eastwood do that, killing 6 guys while holding two horses and lighting a cigar.

It's written in the good Book that we'll never be asked to take more than we can. Sounds like a good plan, so bring it on!

Ya but Clint's characters were FICTION, Eel. ha

A 100 yard, off-hand shot, is not impossible (but damn tough) with a pistol but under that much pressure it sure is a feat!
Caulk one up for the good guys!

Sure, but Roy doesn't know that.

I would not be surprised if SGT. Johnson is a experienced competition bullseye shooter.

Movies?? They can't write a script this good Eel!!

Did I mention also that it was dark?

RELH - he definitely has put in the range time. I think for sure there were some other factors at play that helped him make this shot, but his coolness under pressure, knowledge of his weapon and its capabilities are definitely in the forefront. APD is one of the highest rated forces in the country - they have to be good to get hired, and great to make it as a Seargent or higher.

HOOK 'EM!
