There is a contender running here now. Somebody is shooting 1" groups at 400 yards with a factory rifle. Probably improvised rests and no wind flags?

There was a guy on this site a year or two ago.
He said that he had three (standard,plain Jane) factory varmint rifles, and they all shot less than a 1/4" with Winchester White Box.
A real keyboard killer.

How about the guy on this site a month or two ago that claimed that he was able to keep all of his shots within 2" at 100 yards off shooting sticks with his .44 Magnum! This equates to less than 1/2" at 25 yards. Ever seen anyone do that? Then this pistoleiro supreme goes on to say that he can go even better off bags! I bet! I got several good chuckles out of this one!

I worked with a guy that said he could hit a hanging piece of rope at 1/4 mile with his military issued M16 with stock peep sights all day long. Hum???
I also knew a guy they called chainsaw. Why? I asked, he said he was in the back of his pickup stacking wood that he had just cut. His chainsaw was sitting there. A small buck deer ran out of the brush and as it ran passed his truck he hit it in the head with the chainsaw and killed it. He then tagged it. He said his gun was in the cab and new he couldn't get it before the deer ran off so he hit it with the chainsaw. Hum? Is that legal? LOL

My favorite to date:
Remember this is Ohio and if you get 10 dogs a year calling them your the cats meow in my book.
Local gun shop- Guy is braggin about how he and his buddy shot 10 coyotes from the same spot the night before. When I told him that I was just a bit skeptical, His reply was "What you dont understand is that we use a Wildlife Technologies call- IT ACTUALLY speaks THEIR language". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

Got a couple,
1st from a gun shop owner, claiming he shot a wolf at 300 yds with his 17 hmr. Okay.
Next was from a gun store clerk. He had a custom rifle made, a re-designed enfield in 303 british, re chambered to 243 win. Easy change-over (??). Now with this rifle, he put on a laser sight and was shooting rabbits at night with it at 300 yds. Okay.
How the hell do you see a rabbit at night at 300 yds.
And the same guy told me he once shot and missed a coyote, but the bullet ricocheted and then hit the coyote. He should be in the circus.

When they add: "...All day long.." to the story, you'd better pull your jeans over your boots, cause it just got deep! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I was always an Elmer Keith fan but when I read his story about shooting an elk at 600 yards with a Model 29 I thought Elmer is feeding us some BS.

I can believe Elmer Keith. He shot constantly and never claimed he could do it all day long. He as much as admitted it was a fluke. An elk is a pretty big target and for a very experienced shooter to do it once is believable.

Actually, it was a mule deer that he shot. He even had witnesses. What is left out of the story is that he rained quite a few shots at him before he hit the deer. The deer had been wounded by another hunter and Keith was trying to finish him off. Keith hit the deer in a leg and jaw before finally hitting him with a killing shot.
Keith was a great marksman I am sure, but he also liked to embellish his stories to a degree. I'm not calling him a liar at all, but he may for example point out that he has indeed killed a deer at 600 yards with a .44 Magnum, but may also leave out that it took a couple of cylinders full of ammo to do the job.

unfortunately, I've seen that done. (not by the poster in question)
ALL of his shots. No but the first 4 did.
I was impressed.

This one is true...
About 30 years ago, my father was driving (speeding, of course) along a remote 2 lane state road in Louisiana. Naturally, a yearling doe decided to jump out in front of his Dodge PU. He dinged it on the head with the corner of his front bumper, and in his rearview mirror he saw it bounce into the ditch.
He backed up to check the condition of the critter. Obviously quite dead. He decided to put it in the back of his truck and call the DOW to see what they wanted him to do with it. He grabbed its back legs with his right hand and as he was attempting to heave it into the truck, it came back to life.
Realizing the head damage to the deer was mortal, he decided to dispatch it quickly and end it's suffering. Still holding the deer in one hand, he tried to locate something in the bed of the truck to accomplish the deed with his other hand. All he could locate was a pair of oversized channel-locks. While not pretty, they worked.
When Dad called the DOW, the warden told him that was the fifth deer hit by a car on that particular stretch of road in a two week time period. This was amazing in itself, since the road wasn't traveled a whole lot. He "reckoned the herd needed a little culling in that area", and to take the deer home to his family and enjoy it. He recommended a fast cooking on a hot grill.
He was right. That was one of the best deer I've ever eaten.

Lets see here....
PETA cares about animals
Strays are healthy loving animals that just need a home
Grazing is bad for the environment
Cows fart too much
We don't need farmers, we can get our food from China
Imported food is grown by the same standards
I asked a vegetarian in college what difference she was making by not eating meat....she told me she was saving the life of a cow a year. I then asked this 115# pound lady HOW MUCH DO YOU EAT?
Shooting something in the head (one shot one kill at close range) is cruel.
Ethanol
Global Warming
And this doesn't quite fit but is too funny to not share...
A college buddy of mine was on a radio talk show discussing that guns and shooting is a great way for young kids to learn responsibility and that he has seen very positive results with troubled teens with sharing this activity with them. The host then says, "Are you not equipping these young "troubled" teens to become murders?" His reply.....priceless.....was ,"Well, a gal I know once asked me the same thing and I told her, aren't you "equipped" to be a prostitute? Just because you have the equipment, doesn't mean you will use it for bad things."
