Shoot enough, and odd things happen. A buddy of mine was a superb rifle shot, I mean uncannily good. He tried NRA Highpower competition for a while, with a very nice Springfield M1A match rifle in 308 Winchester.
One stage of that NRA course is prone rapid fire at 300 yards. Ten shots. Has to be a reload. The time starts while standing, rifle in hand. On command everyone drops to prone and starts shooting...
Somehow my pard manages to drop his rifle! :shock:
It hits the ground and fires!
The bullet struck the 7 ring on his target! :shock:
How does that happen? I dunno, but it did...
Shoot enough, stuff happens. :mrgreen:
I have more stories about this rifleman, a pretty doggone awesome guy. He doesn't shoot anymore, old body is giving out, but dang... He was something else.
