Just a damn kid. No wonder he missed. Probably expected some kinda aim assist to kick in
-
20 years old, he never owned a gun before, 130 yard shot, nicked the ear. Honestly he was closer than would have expected.
-
Supposedly he actually hit the teleprompter and shards from that is what nicked Trump, so bro just missed entirely.
He was also not allowed to join his school's rifle club for being a hilariously bad shot...
-
Oh lame. That makes more sense though, it's not hard but it took me a bit of practice to nail 100 yard shots. If he was inexperienced it makes me wonder if the rifle was even zeroed properly, cause if it wasn't there was no chance in hell he was going to hit Trump.
Did some digging, some comments say he had ironsights. Also read the articles about him being a bad shot, apparently he would be so off target that he would hit the leftmost lane when he was sitting in the rightmost lane of the range. Yeah Trump was in no danger.

how is that even physically possible LMAO

I asked myself the same question

I totally agree. That's not an easy shot to make, especially for someone who is not trained or experienced.
He came absurdly close to changing the course of history.

He went for a 360 no scope but the fkn' joycon drift sent him off course. Sad.

Bro did not make use Gyro controls. Sad!

I like my gyro controls with extra tzatziki and no tomatoes.

He failed to take the Coriolis effect into account.
