With sight in only one eye, a right-handed Dunedin marksman shot left-handed to break the world record over a distance he had never shot before.

Ian Owen had to wait for the breeze to drop before he shot his fifth and final bullet into the target 300 yards (274.32m) down the South African firing range.

Owen lost his right eye in a car accident when he was a teenager, so he shoots left-handed and had to use his aiming eye to check the wind flags before his shot.

He re-sighted himself and shot the last of a tight group, but was stunned when the judges announced the distance between the centres of his farthest-spaced shots.....
