Crazy idea but it might be fairly cool.  Here it is.

Hometown deal of course

1) Everyone who wants to play kicks in $10 bucks or so for a trophy to the winner (maybe some of the $ will be used for beer at the annual cerimony )

2) Shot must be made with a credible witness (not that we don't trust anyone, we just know how certain things like distance and general conditions can be enhanced when describing your shot )

3) All things will be considered when voting like ditance, was the target moving, wind, were you hunting, any beer involved (just kidding), type of gun used, and general conditions.

4) Everyone will have to vote for a shot other than their own to determine the winner.

So, what do you guys think?  This is intended for fun and maybe it will get some of you out there shooting a little more.

He just wants to do this cause he made a great shot a couple weekends ago.

Highly unusual for him, and now he thinks he's an ace.

Anyway, I already won. So where's my trophy?

Thats not what I heard........Seems I remember it being slightly off center creating a disturbance in the vertical opperating conditions of the ol' "squirt gun"






ETA: I'm UP for a little competition!

My favorite story from the late Gale McMillan posted at thehighroad.com on 12-03-1999.



I was demonstrating a fifty to the crown Prince of Jordon and after the demo which was at 300 yards I had let all the officers shoot and when the general had finished he asked me if I could hit that tank over there. I said I don't see any tank and he pointed it out. I asked him how far it was and he said it was 2000 meters. I told him I didn't think so but I would try. I cranked the scope to the top and what I was going to do was to fire one and get back on the target and dope off the dust and try to luck the second shot in. They tank was a shot out Israeli tank that still had the star of David on the turret . The mirage was running heavy so I held a tank length to the side and touched it off. The API flashed right in the center of the star of David and I set a record getting the rifle disassembled and in the case before he could ask me to repeat it.

No, that would be cheating.  But I must say that was one hell of a shot, I must have been sick?

That "gun" is back in actions boys, and I've been shooting it as much as possible.  Had to dust off the old piece but thats about it.

You bringing your "gun" back into action is like me taking my Hi-point to a 3 gun match.

I remember when he didn't even have a gun and lived in Texas.

Don't want this thread to die, so I'll throw this out there:

ROOFTOP made a shot a few weeks back that qualifies him:

Jackrabbit, running, 150 yards. Dumped his ass with one shot, offhand, .223 SP, scoped AR-15

DANG! I did a similar shot a few months ago. Rabbit running, 80 yds. with AR irons on the first shot.......I didnt think I had him until I walked out to him......NECK SHOT!

Half the distance, but IRONS vs. SCOPE. What say you, ROOFTOP?

Not that it matters much.....but it was a bunny rabbit......not a HUGE JACKRABBIT!

Oooohhh, I think he's calling you out, ROOFTOP!

And he has a good point - you know, those jackrabbits can get as big as DEER around here!
