I'd say my best was a four shot spread fired at a liner. 100%, manual TDC. Range was about 7500 meters at firing, with an AoB that was already 90 degrees at a fast moving target making 21 knots. Because of the distance the fish would have to travel we had to run 'em slow, which meant only a rough 9 knot overtake. I reckon the overall run on the fish was well over 10,000 meters, the run time was over 10 minutes!! One fish of the spread hit, which stopped the liner. My last two fish were then fired from close in, but failed to sink it. Here's the screen from the moment the shot was fired.

You know it's a long shot when a liner is hull down!

Not my best in terms of sinkings, but certainly the best 'shot' I've fired.
