Wow. So far away they are able to talk at normal volume without worrying about spooking the deer.

I made a similar shot in high school with a rubber band gun on a fruit fly ...

Now that I'm viewing this again I'm wondering if the dialogue matches the video. The guy said 950 yards which is a half a mile. When the camera pans out it seems like it is a lot farther than a half a mile.

I suppose we could calculate the distance if we knew what the muzzle velocity was.
