Yep, over a mile. Remember, the target isn't man sized. It's platoon sized. BTW, it was made of several planks of oak and at that distance, the Whitworth still drove deeply into the wood. In my own research, I've found one Whitworth kill and one injury at over 1400 yards. How do I know it's confirmable? Well, it's between two islands with nothing between.
