This 2-hour special reveals the stories of world-class shooters who perform seemingly impossible shooting feats with all kinds of firearms and longbows.
In addition these skilled marksmen re-enact shots made famous in history or classic Hollywood movies. Stories include severing a hangman's noose with a bullet and passing a bullet through a washer in mid-air, as well as modern-day army snipers who hit a target over half a mile away.
