Target In the Sights

Long range shot
Four hundred and ten yards
Almost touching distance by magnification

The target there - be careful
Taking note of wind drift
Now another click

Steady
Be steady 
A most gentle squeeze on the trigger

A good shot ,target hit and down
The man who was he ?
What was his name?
