I’d say it would be an excellent shot with irons from the shoulder, but my eyes aren’t what they used to be. Windage and zeroing aren’t really a factor at 200 yards unless the wind is extreme. Even with bad wind at 200 yards most of your hunting caliber rounds will only drift 2-3 inches at most. Most long range rifles are zeroed at 200-300 yards.
He was dead center for windage, just a bit high for range. The main issue is this scenario is mainly nerves, which is prob why his range was 4-5 inches high, prob jerked on the trigger a little or his rifle was ranged for 300-400 yards. Can’t say I haven’t whiffed it worse while hunting at that distance, and I wasn’t in immediate danger of being arrested or killed by a game warden or anything.
Imo a real decent shot for most shooters with a bit of experience when considering the circumstances. Adrenaline is a real big factor when it comes to accuracy, really fucks with your fine motor skills.
