This isn't a knock on the SEALs in any way, but if you are referring to the incident with Captain Phillips being held hostage, those shots were actually taken at a distance of about 30 yards - still an exceptionally difficult shot in rolling seas.

No biggie, I wasn't sure if you were talking about the Captain Phillips incident or there was another incident that I might not have caught and I do seem to recall that a number of early reports regarding the resolution of the Captain Phillips hostage situation did in fact, erroneously report a much longer distance, some might have possibly stated a mile.
