Noting that there are threads of disbelief posted here abouts, take this as you will. I was a very good shot with the handgun. When I was very young, I had aspirations of being an exhibition shooter. I did shot like cutting playing cards in two, shooting through paper towel or toilet paper rolls end to end. Even shot through an empty 12 ga. shotgun shell. I was at the point I could hit cans or dirt clods thrown in the air, so long as I did the throwing. After getting out of the Army, I shot in competition in a bull's eye pistol club, reaching the level of Sharpshooter before leaving that kind of shooting. I never shot in a match, but did shoot the course for metallic silhouette shooting. Also hunted for a number of years, in fact laid the groundwork for handgun hunting in Tennessee. I practiced long range handgunning for many years, shooting over 10,000 rounds annually. As I've noted, age has taken its toll, as well as finances. (Social Security has no allowance for ammunition.) My eyesight, corrected, is still pretty sharp, but physical fitness has suffered somewhat, and can not practice as often as I'd like.
But the targets I posted are as noted, believe them or not. And I can't call up witnesses as most of these have died. The man with whom I had coffee this morning is the last living witness. And he has stated the I had a bullet for a pacifier when I was born. At age of ninety, he no longer shoots with me.
