[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 874999, member: 306"] I'm not sure what your point is about target size and as we ex-marine remember this Marine Carlos N. Hathcock II On May 20th, 1959, at 17 years of age, Carlos N. Hathcock II fulfilled his childhood dream by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps. His ability as a marksman was soon recognized by the instructors on the rifle range at Camp Pendleton where he was undergoing recruit training. Later, while based in Hawaii as a member of Company E, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, Carlos won the Pacific Division rifle championship. Following his assignment in Hawaii, Hathcock was transferred to Marine Air Station, Cherry Point, North Carolina, where he quickly found himself shooting competitively again. This time he set the Marine Corps record on the "A" Course with a score of 248 points out of a possible 250, a record that stands today. The highlight of his competitive shooting career occurred in 1965 when Carlos out-shot over 3000 other servicemen competing to win the coveted Wimbledon Cup at Camp Perry. Are you saying that Carlos win @ Camp Perry 1965 for the Wimbledon Cup @ 1000yds had anything to do with target size? I'll be glad to come up to Loveland and have little talk with you and explain what Honor means which you seem to lack. PM with place to meet you I can't wait. [/QUOTE]
