    No we ask how is he still alive. At that range if they meant to kill him he should be dead.

    No. And, I’m disappointed so many blindly believed.

    The initial information was 200-300 yards. A good shooter with range ammo (medium quality) and a decent rifle will shoot about 2 MOA or “minutes of angle” accuracy. A better shooter with better ammo and rifle will shoot about 1.5 MOA.

    The math conveniently works out such that 1 MOA is 1 inch at 100 yards. At 1 MOA and 100 yards range, the distance from the furthest spaced rounds in a small number of rounds will be 1 inch.

    At 300 yards 1.5 MOA is 4.5 inches. At 200 yards it’s 3 inches. At 300 it’d take three shots to be sure. At 200 it’s a likely one shot kill.

    The news of 200-300 yards was intentional uncertainty. We sheep aren’t to know the actual risk to Trump’s life.
