Quite the accomplishment for the lady.
You've Got To Be Tough, If You're Going To Be Stupid.

Why wouldn't they give the medal to a non-brit?; the twits.

It sure as hell wasn't when I was in The Army.
I saw this quite some time ago. Canada produces some bloody fine soldiers and even finer shots. Remember Rob Furlong was a Canadian. There are few nationalities and few individuals who are up to snuff in my book.

well lets see longest shots being openly admitted are mostly held by CDNs so yes i guess so
In 1972, Canada won at Bisley. Defeating the best military shooters in the U.S. and British Commonwealth 5 NATO Countries). W.O. Joe Hennick won the Queen's Medal at the cross service marksmanship competition. Pretty impressive I'd say. So to answer your question: yes. There has always been a long line of distinguished shooters from Canada.
None you improvise, one (or more) is luxury.
I don't think 3,540 meters is going to be beat any time soon!
ive got 2 friends on the top 5 long shots, i cant say what mine was but its close 🙂
Not to take anything away from civilian shooters, but the best long-range shooters have to be military and police snipers. People in the civilian world don't know who they are. Their identities aren't widely known even within the organizations themselves.
Anyone who works as a professional Sniper can't help but being accurate. You have unlimited ammunition and practice time galore. You receive the best training available.
Much of this I received in the U.S. with the Secret Service. They recruit the best from the U.S. Military and various SWAT Teams to protect the President. In my class of twelve, five were formerly Marine Scout Snipers, one SEAL one Delta, one LAPD. The remainder were police SWAT sent for training (all were ex-military with combat experience) and me.
These guys were deadly. We started with headshots on running targets at 300 yards and moved on from there. After the first day, I thought I'd be sent home. Good instruction, patience and lots of practice made the difference. I was really impressed with the skillsets and professionalism of this group.

patience is the thing. timing between heartbeats makes a difference,mongols used to shoot their bows while at a gallop and would loose when all hoofs were in the air. Small things make a big difference.
