Lets Play a Game (II), Nice shot, Mine was better!

[boredelmo]

Oh yes fellows, I'm at work again.

Another game of trying to one up the poster above you.

This game is a bit different. We will try to recreate the most AMAZING shot ever performed, EVER! by a collaborative effort of all of THR shooters.

1. I'll start off with one of my best range sessions.
2. You will rewrite the post with an extra element/obstacle.
3. The extra element you provide has to be true, you must have done it before. This still leaves plenty of room to make a crazy story.

So my first post will be:

I once shot out the 10 ring at 7 yards with 50 shots from a Browning Buckmark.

John Smith's Best shot might be:

I once hit a the 10 ring at 50 yards with a .357 magnum.

Result:

I once shot out the 10 ring with 50 shots from a .357 magnum at 50 yards.


Joe Bob's best shot might be:
I once shot a nice sized buck while sneezing.


Result:

I once shot out the 10 ring with 50 shots from a .357 magnum at 50 yards while sneezing.


Feel free to throw animals and other crazy elements into the mix. Also feel free to remove small facts to enhance your post.

start from:

I once shot out the 10 ring at 7 yards with 50 shots from a Browning Buckmark.


Have fun with this! Obviously this might get pretty long winded so don't miss your chance to add in your element before the game dies.

I once shot out the red star target at the fair with their crummy air gun. Well, I had a small amount of red showing so I didn't win the stuffed animal.

 

[yesit'sloaded]

I once hit the red steel target at the range from 60 yards with a snub nose .38. It spun around on the tree so it had more than a small amount of red showing.

Metallic handgun silhouette shooting:

I once shot into the dirt and it ricocheted into the turkey and it fell down.

"Does that count?" I asked the coach.

"It fell down when you went bang," he said, and marked it down as a hit.

(Yeah, yeah, I know. It was a new gun, me not used to the fine trigger. Go ahead, lecture away. Not that I haven't heard it before.)

 

[Working Man]

Well since there are no pictures.....

This one time..... at rifle camp..... I took a .17 HMR to the 1000 meter range......

 

[RH822]

I punched the primer pocket out of a 12ga hull from 75 yards with my Mini-14 (iron sights). The best part is, I called the shot before I took it.

[ChopperKen]

I shot a deer in the head offhand from 345 yards with a ruger 77mkII
6.5x55...

 

[JamisJockey]

I was on the Grassy Knoll.

Next!

 

[Cmdr. Gravez0r]

I Gawt It!!

It was JamisJockey...on the grassy knoll...with the Carcano. Do I win? \clue reference

 

[Acheron]

I once destroyed an IS-2 at 4600 meters with the 88mm gun on a Nashorn.







Seriously though, this actually (well, allegedly) happened in March of 1945. The shot was made by a Leutnant Beckmann of the sPzJagAbt 88.

 

[JKimball]

I once shot out the 10 ring at 7 yards with 50 shots from a Browning Buckmark while it was flying through the air.

 

[2TransAms]

JamisJockey,you remind me of Tim Wilson's Uncle BS,1963.

Sorry Elmo,your idea gets kinda complicated,I think.

 

[loumarch]

I leveled a small village in Nam with a Walleye from 10 miles away!

 

[boredelmo]

Uh oh, complete thread failure!

I guess what i had in my mind wasn't well communicated to the folks. Lock at will!

Maybe we can try this again another time with simpler rules.

 

[JamisJockey]

You communicated it fine, its just complicated and goofy.
When I was in the SEELS we believed in a KYSS principle.
Otherwise some commie will hijack your thread.

 

[Red Tornado]

I once put a shot dead center on the X at 100 yards with a Ruger 22/45 offhand with open sights. (There may have been more than one shot fired, but I only remember the one...really.
RT

Oh yeah, what I meant was, I once put a shot dead center on the X at 100 yards with a Ruger 22/45 offhand with open sights, by shooting through a shotgun hull that had the primer shot out, bounced it off the ground, off of a turkey silhouette, through the red star, while at the fair, when I sneezed on the grassy knoll. Yeah, that's it!

 

[230RN]

I thought this gave us a little license:

Feel free to throw animals and other crazy elements into the mix. Also feel free to remove small facts to enhance your post.

Thus we have:

Good Job, Red Tornado!

(Tell the truth, I rarely see a thread that doesn't go to unexpected places... isn't that the fun of it?)

Besides, this guy's got us all beat...

 

[Walkalong]

I shot a fly dead center at an informal benchrest match one time. I asked if they would count it against my group and they said "No". I dead centered him. I have it laminated at home somewhere. A bullet hole with fly guts 360 degrees. No S*** ! No facts left out.

 

[JKimball]

So, what caliber for houseflies?

 

[Walkalong]

So, what caliber for houseflies?

6PPC, of course.

 

[cobrian45]

Wow, with pics. Nice, Walkalong. I shot a bird in the top of a tree at about 200 yards with a .22 which sucked because then we had to go find it.

Next one was when I was guiding doves. I hit one shooting out of the back of an old Jeep scrambler at about 65 yards with a Browning BPS 12 Gauge, 30 inch barrel while we were sitting waiting to pick someone up. Also sucked because I had to trudge over there, find and and realize the fire ants had already found it by then.

Best of all... I shot six Axis deer (the first two with one shot, both through the neck) and the rest all in the head and neck at distances from 50 to 120 yards one right after the other. This with the Rem 700 7mm STW which only holds 2 + 1. It was crazy.

 

[MAURICE]

I once took a squirrel at 800 yards with an SKS.
True story.

 

[oklahoma caveman]

squirrel from a 150yd iron sighted 22lr

 

[JDGray]

I popped a phesant from 125yrds, with my 22/45, he was on a dead run

 

[geronimotwo]

as a kid i had my scope sighted in real close on my crossman pump bb gun. i would sit and shoot flys off our picket fence at about 10'. as my selective memory has it, i was shooting above a .500 average. this was made even more interesting by the way bb's would kind of spiral along their trajectory, i believe this was because of the rifling in my gun, so the distance needed to be fairly precise.
