    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.

        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.
