Nolan Ryan, in his prime, threw a grenade from Austin Texas to the front doorstep of Fidel Castro's mansion in a secret CIA operation called "operation light the Cuban"

I used to vacation on the moon, until somebody got the idea to start sending spacecraft up there on semi-regular occasions, and then the place just got too crowded. It used to be a lovely place, but now it looks like a junkyard.

I have no formal training. I learned myself the art of reading the wind and would like to share with you data i gathered yesterday. The images are of the sight picture through dense mirage and of the 10shot group shot at high wind!

You can see the cluster of well placed shots the few to the right were caused by a change in conditions. I have fired 5 into a nuce little cluster when a cloud moved illuminating the field in front which mafe the mirage appear to move faster. My followimg shot was high by an inch or two. I waited a few for the clouds to move by the time the mirage had settled the wind changed (12 to 15mph blowing from 3 to 9oclock)and i began striking right 2 or 3 inches. Im sharring this info for those who are beginning to read wind. Its impressive what it did to a 300gr bullet at 2800.

Pft... I run my Mosin full auto with a 30 round clipazine and shoot bottle caps off of a fence at 2.5 miles. Then I'll grab my old Savage .22lr and shoot the barbs off the barbwire on the same fence just for kicks....

Sir, you being too modest.

What he failed to mention.... was that this feat of prowess described had hapened at night.

Now I know that the average reader is saying WTF? However, I can attest to the fact. I will note that Catt57 was aided by the addition of the Atomic Beam flashlight as advertised on television by Hunter Ellis.

Even a renowned marksman can be helped thru technology.
