Good thing the guy doesn't look like a professional sniper. He looks like a brainwashed liberal, not an expert shooter.
An experienced sniper with good rifle can hit a 6" x 6" target repeatedly from 500 yards, more than 1/4 mile distance, given light wind and good weather. This shooter was on a rooftop of a building a couple hundred feet away from Trump. The shooter fired from a roof outside the rally venue using an AR-15–style rifle.
The AR-15 can be modified to be a sniper rifle with optics and accessories to improve accuracy. It can have an effective range of 300 to 600 yards. It also fires .223 caliber, which is a moderate caliber for a rifle. It isn't a rifle of choice for professional snipers.
That said, from 100 yards, accuracy for a good shooter should be a 2 inch target, size of a golfball. For that matter, my sister can shoot squirrels at 100 yards every time. This guy was missing by several feet. Complete amateur, not military and not a professional. Just my opinion.

Yet, he is able to get multiple shots off before the SS returns fire..............
150 -200 yds was the distance given
