    I think it’s easier than you think, especially from prone and especially if you have any previous experience, which I assume the shooter did.

    Here’s a page out of a US military training manual to get an idea of how “wide” the front sight looks on a human size target. And remember, Trump is considerably wider than these silhouettes.

      I’ve shot rifles. It’s not hard to do at a range after you’ve dialed yourself in.

      It’s a lot harder to pull off on the first shot under pressure on a hot roof.

        Yeah I guess that’s a fair point.

        And at the end of the day, it was clearly difficult for him, or he wouldn’t have missed so many times.
