It isn't records like it's baseball - it's records like it's long range shooting competitions - which it is. We keep records of those who have the tightest groups at various ranges, and on who scores the most points on a course of fire, and on who has the longest shots against stationary targets, and against moving targets - and against unpredictably moving targets, i.e. sniper targets.
Many top snipers are also top competitive shooters - so it really isn't surprising at all.
So this record includes people who are shooting at non-living moving targets in non-combat situations?
No - that is the record for moving targets in a non-combat setting.
The point is that records are kept in recognition of achievement at difficult tasks. Whether it's something as inane as how many pushups a person can do in a minute or long-range sniping, records are kept.
