72 years old and one shots a drone with a 9mm.

As dumb and dangerous as that is, I'm pretty impressed. That's a hell of a (lucky?) shot.

At 75'?! I sure couldn't do that. Not without birdshot.

With one shot too, that is a hell of a shot of a moving target. Reminds me of that mall shooter that a guy hit like 10 times from 50 yards with a pistol.

It was 75 feet in the air.

My grandfather could shoot like that past 80, but he was a competitive shooter in the Navy and in civilian life. It takes skill to pop a moving target with any handgun.
