What vehicle was used for the 100 mph shooting experiment?

A modified Ford Bronco was used, featuring a Camberg kit, Fox 3.0 shocks, 37-inch Icon Wheels, and an engine tune that increased its power by over 150 hp to safely achieve and maintain 100 mph.

Which firearm was selected for the 100 mph moving vehicle shot?

The Sig Sauer AG 551, a Swiss-made rifle with a 16-inch barrel, was chosen for its reliability and higher velocity output, deemed more suitable for this high-speed shooting challenge than other available firearms.

What safety and logistical considerations were addressed for the 100 mph shooting attempt?

Safety measures included using a flat, smooth field with a backstop, positioning the target at a 1:00 angle, removing the front seat for the shooter, having medical personnel on standby, and utilizing target cameras and an independent observer for hit confirmation.
