Looking at the feature image we have to say we are somewhat impressed with the accuracy. While they are shooting at about 25ft, they are doing so from a ship at sea and underway. The shooter has to compensate for the movement of the ship going 14-18 knots and the motion of the deck. There isn’t much pitch on a 90,000-ton aircraft carrier in calm seas, but it is several inches of vertical travel.
