Off-hand, golf ball, iron sights at 25 yards - Can you hit it?

You expected them to hang around waiting for you to shoot at them? Ha!

Naw, but I mean, who steals friggin' rocks?

I didn’t even know who painted them but they look great on my range. Thanks, I’ll let you know when the paint wears off so you can paint more for me.

Most of the people around here don't know what 100 yards is. I've stepped it off, used range finders. Shot at ranges. People around here just guess and it's usually in the 50 yd range when they show you where it took place. Same at further distances. 200 yds is a lot farther than people t hink. They'll claim 200 when it's actually closer to 100.

Yeah talking shooting distances is much like telling fishin’ stories. Good chance that “5lb bass” you’re being told about was actually closer to 2.5-3lb lol

Now that’s funny!
People around the world do what they gotta do. A lot of what we eat is tied to the bad times, i. e., the Depression, a war or a famine. Once we learn something is tasty, we accept it no matter how “gross” it might otherwise seem.
For instance, I love Rocky Mountain Oysters.

.

Another example, I LOVE Scrapple, which traditionally was made from hog brains, snout, eyes, tails, organs... everything except the squeal.

If I recall correctly,,,
A lot of the French "Haute Cuisine",,,
Resulted from easting anything that moved during the Paris famines.

Super savory sauces to make rat, sparrows, and snail palatable.

Then there's the old GI saying,,,
"With enough catsup anything becomes edible."

It may have been about 20 years ago that I did this. We took my brother-in-law and my niece out to shoot at a friend's place. Right before we were about to leave, I sat a 2" clear plastic ball with a metal golden goose in it on the ground below out targets. It was one of the stupid things they gave out at the refinery. It was a little after sundown and not quite dark I took one shot and hit it offhand. I was using a 5.56mm AR with a cheap red dot sight. I forgot to state the distance when I posted this. It was about 80 yards.

Hanging from a string
At 500 yards took 4 shots
260 rem, nosler rfd 140s under varget
As for 22s I've never tried. Now I am on a hunt for a bucket of used golf balls lol

Golf balls would be way cheaper than eggs these days. Lol

And that crappie that was 1.5 to 2 pounds was likely .5 to 3/4 pound. Amazing how many I've proven that to with some digital scales that have been verified redneck style.
