Maybe I’m over estimating the ability of the shooter, but not only can I make that kind of shot now, I could at that age. If you can’t climb a tree stand and make a clean shot with your heart pumping, you aren’t going to even get close to the target anyway.
Adrenaline is a huge factor, I can’t deny that. But if it was enough of a factor to foul the shot, that was an incredibly lucky earpiercing.
I dunno, maybe I am just too used to good shooting. My grandfather was a competitive shooter, and he’s the one that taught all of us. Most of my family that shoots could make that shot and it wouldn’t be anything to brag about at camp.
But the rest of it still smacks of a planned shooting that wasn’t supposed to kill trump.
125 is a mid range shot.

I think “Planned Non-Lethal Shot At POTUS’s Head” falls on the wrong side of Occam’s Razor.
