150 shots with a .22 to hit the branch. I'm amazed he didn't hit the fucking eagle.

150 shots to hit and cut the 4 inch (10 cm) of rope (I guess about 1/4 inch (6 mm) at least not more than 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick) between the eagle and the branch located 70 feet (20 m) above ground, so realistically 100 feet (30 m) distance with a rifle that is not his, i.e. without knowing the aiming point.

He didn't hit the rope but the branch. If he was shooting for the rope he really would've shot the eagle.

Last Thursday, Jason Galvin used a .22-caliber rifle with a scope to fire 150 shots at the distant rope that was tangled around the eagle's leg.

Yeah watch the video. It has a picture of the branch he shot down.

Ah ok. Interestingly, he shot the left part of the branch quite close to the eagle.
