[QUOTE="winmag, post: 428311, member: 22166"] OK Ill add another one. But this one LUCK had everything to do with it, and skill wasnt even a factor......... Back in highschool my buddies and I were always playin around with our guns, betting eachother "Betcha cant hit xxxxx" whatever the target was, at some unbeliveable range or angle etc. Well I was wearing my Colt 22 revolver, and had been trying to hit a squirl or sage rat while practicing my fast draw all day. Who knows how many I missed, but it was a bunch. Needless to say the squirls all ran for cover and I had ammo left, so my buddy said I got a nickle I could stick in a seem of tree bark........ "betcha cant hit it at 20 paces fastdraw" Well being the young cocky little turd I was, I took him up on it. First try I almost shot my foot off! ******* move. So on my second attempt all I was doing was staring a hole thru the nickle and repeating to myself clear the holster this time you iddiot. I drew and fired all in a blurr, and the nickle whizzed by our heads like an angry hornet! Ya holy freakin riccochet! It passed close enough to my ear I could feel the wind on my face. Anyhow we found the nickle with the little 22slug stuck in the warped nickle a few yards behind us. We didnt know weather to be more excited that we were alive or that I actually hit it. Like I said skill wasnt involved at all. (apparently neither was common sense) If I tried to hit a nickle size target (wood this time) Fastdraw, with my Colt again I could go thru 2 bricks of ammo trying, and never even come close. Stupid is as stupid does, but we were lucky dummies that day, and like sooooo many stories we all have, If you lived thru it it was worth braggin about.................. Man Im suprised I ever made it to 34..... [/QUOTE]
