    I don’t know enough to comment either way, personally. I’ve heard from military individuals that 150 yard shot is pretty easy and they’re trained to peg human targets at 300-400 yards with iron sights with the same caliber. My guess is his adrenaline was going like crazy and he was shaking.

      Not a hard shot at a stationary target but if you watch the video Trump turns just a moment before his ear is hit.

      Im almost certain his turning to the crowd meant the difference between his ear being clipped and the back of his skull being blown out.
