[QUOTE="GeorgeS, post: 1872310, member: 107925"] Piece of cake; take a kid's playpen - about 6' x 6'; fill to the top with softballs; go 1,000 yards away; shoot. Guaranteed you'll hit a softball consistently at 1,000 yards. Not the same one each time, mind you, but . . . I suspect that if the expert shooters on this forum find that to be quite a feat - and given the degree of precision that would be required, it certainly sounds so - then those who make the claim are most likely reflecting on perhaps having done it once, and having the claim self-pinocchio over time and retelling. That certainly hovers well within the range of a custom rifle, and it would be a lucky buy of an off-the shelf rifle, combined with a lot of practice, a still, bright day, and superbly assembled components to make it happen - not to mention a very high magnification scope, and a very steady rest. 100 yards - OK with the same rig; ten football fields away? Ask him how much he wants to tutor me on how to do it. [/QUOTE]
