Don't know when the actual encounter happened but the Fox News report was on this morning 06 May 2010.
So this seems to be a fairly new Record, and I try to watch all of the Military channel shows that discus long range marksmanship and I've not seen one on this encounter as of yet. If it was shown there I wish I had seen it.
The last one that I recall on the History channel was about the Canadian Sniper (Cpl. Bill) that made his record in the Afghanistan mountains (2,657 Yds.) that exceeded Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock's record kill (2,500 Yrds.) from Vietnam. It took him 3 shots to get the range and make the hit, using a dedicated sniper rifle, and was less than 200 yards more that Hathcock's longest. Hathcock used a M-2 Browning machine gun with a scope mounted on it, firing only 1 round to make his record.
