[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 1880622, member: 14195"] I took a kid out to my land the other day to help him sight in a new muzzleloader. While there a friend drove up with a new Ruger SR-22. Anyway, I had a 1/2 gallon milk jug full of water set up at 50 yards. I loaded my 1911 and handed it to the friend. "Try this at that milk jug." He fired 5 and hit low all five times. I put five more in and gave it to the kid. He hit the jug with a ricochet, but didn't knock it over. I took the gun, and snapped a quick one handed shot, hit the bottom of the jug, made it jump about 5 feet up. Pure luck, no bragging. Several years ago a bunch of us went out into the hayfields at night with .22s to shoot armadillos from the back of a pickup. I'd shot all the shells I brought for my rifle, don't know if I ever hit one or not. When the armadillo disappears in a cloud of dust, you can't much tell who hit and who didn't. Anyway, I had my Colt Woodsman on my hip, loaded with CCI Stingers. We came up on another armadillo, I did a fast draw and popped off a shot before anyone could get their rifles up. That armadillo just dropped, DRT. Again, pure luck, as I never hit another one that night. A friend dropped a flying duck with one shot from a .22 revolver. Trouble is, he was aiming at the first duck and it was the third one that fell. He didn't tell me that for a long time. I'm bettin' there will be some good stories on this thread. [/QUOTE]
