I wish I had that kind of eyesight!
I know, right? I can barely make out a face down the hall, and Simo was out there getting people at 400+ yards in the Finnish wilderness, half-obscured by an iron-sight, while staying hidden himself.
Apparently he was extremely good at measuring distance by eye as well.
In one documentary I saw they stated his kills were usually on ~ 50 m range, which makes his concealment ~~abilities~~ skills even more impressing.
Eat your carrots and you'll be fine...
