It beat the team’s previous Wyoming state record of 3.06 miles. It also broke the previous world record shot of 4 miles set in 2020 by Paul Phillips of Texas.
The Wyoming team “had easier conditions” than Phillips because of the thin air at about 7,000 feet in elevation near Pinedale, where the shot was made Sept.13, Humphries said.
Still, even with the Wyoming air working in their favor, it was nothing short of miraculous for the shot, the 69th attempt that morning, to land inside an 8-inch orange bullseye. The bullseye had been painted in the center of a white, rectangular target measuring 120 inches wide and 92 inches tall.
“When a bullet is in flight for that long, you have to take into account the rotational speed of the earth. What you’re shooting at isn’t going to be in the same place it was 24 second ago when you pulled the trigger.”

LIES!!! The flat earth doesn't rotate! This is just another trick of the illuminati to make us not believe in the Bible.

69 shots to get it done? That seems a little less impressive. It's still a ridiculous distance, but you're walking it in at that point.

Law of averages.
Show me the longest distance unprepped single shot sniper record

I was thinking that after a dozen misses, it'd be easier to just move the target to where the shots were going.

At that distance, minor variances in the bullet, powder, or wind are going to cause substantial variances in where the bullet strikes.
