Just some comments on some comments that have been made.
The .223 round is not considered a "sniper" calibre. The .223 in civilian life is considered a "varmit" round. The popular "sniper" calibres are .308, .50 and 30-06....oh the 7.62mm is also used in some places. The .223 is a rather light rifle round and is subject to windage over distances.
People keep talking abut the degree of profesional training this guy needs to have to accomplish these shots. With a .223 Remmington with a 5x Redfield scope at the age of 12 I was killing groundhogs out to a distance of 200-250 yards. If a 12 year old can hit a varmit the size of a rather large cat or small dog, think how easy it is to hit a person sized target.
