For those that know the story, this guy's screen name isn't Dryfire is it? ::)

The story ran in American Rifleman or Shotgun News; I don't recall which.  There's also a detailed write up on The Firearms Blog.  Two shots at 8,100+ feet at a stationary, plus a moving target- WOW!  I was a bit surprised that the reporting (linked) media was allowed to print his picture, normally taboo to keep the hunter from becoming the hunted.  I wonder what has changed there?
