85-year-old U.S. Army sniper veteran proves he hasn't lost his skills as he picks off a target at 1,000 yards

He may be 85 years old, but when Army sniper veteran Ted Gundy was given the chance to show off the skills he used in World War Two, he proved he could still keep up with the very best.

That’s because he was invited to try out the Army’s latest technology in a challenge to hit a target a whopping 1,000 yards away.

But the former member of the Missouri honour guard, stepped up to the challenge with an extremely level head.

Nice video. I'll definitely share with my shooting friends who I spent over a year of my life with at Fort Benning (civilian capacity) who are all about some 1,000yd shooting.

Very cool stuff. At 85 he still shoots better than me, and i'm only in my thirties.
