Ah, to have young eyes again!Rattlesnake road wrote:Once on the ranges at 300 meters using iron sights, no scopes back then, the guy spotting for me says to me “your hitting the stick” me thinking I am a little low change my point of aim. He then asks me what I was doing, aiming a little higher I replied you told me I was hitting the stick. “Go back to what you were first doing” he replies, so a change of position again and back to my original aiming spot. 3 shots later the target fell to the floor, I was hitting dead centre on the support stick.
I never liked scoped weapons as a youth. Now with bifocals and in my early 50's they're a must! Regarding crazy shots and anything else hard to believe, my Grandfather always was fond of this little saying: "impossible, yet it happened'!
