Whoppers!

[Exercion]

Or "stories of shooting prowess that are literally unbelievable"

So I'm sure everyone has heard stories of feats of marksmanship that make you want to beg, borrow, or steal every dime you can to make the wager that some shot can't be done. I've heard some ludicrous ones over the years, but think I now have a new favorite. I heard someone say they watched their Mom shoot bats (yeah the flying kind) with a .38 snub nose @ 600 yards.

What's your favorite extra-tall tale?

Sounds like my mom when she was too drunk to hit the mosquitos . . . and needed a better sight picture.

I was reading a post today by someone who claimed they were getting 3260 FPS from 150 grain 303 Enfield loads and 1.5" groups at 100 yards...with the issued sights.

I saw two cats fighting one time, one got on top of the other one and then the other one got on top of him and they went clear out of sight straight up doing the same thing,,,,, that's pretty tall,,,,,,John

One very good friend of mine told me the other day that he shot a running coyote in the heart at 790 yards with a 204. I said how did you know how far he was, he said he just knew. He just can’t tell the truth.

Shooting bats on the fly with a revolver off hand.

When I saw this title, I was sure it was about the senate hearing today.

Political discussion is strongly discouraged.

Many years ago…

My aunt, her aunt and I concocted a story about me shooting a big buck that was told to my cousin who knew I was hunting their lease.

He had called his mom and she started it off, just saying it was a big buck. His aunt chimed in and said it was so wide she could sit between the antlers.

Hook line and sinker.

The next day they carried it on. Saying while dozing at a rest stop in Florida, on my way back to base, someone had stolen the head out of the back of the truck. They said I was heartbroken.

They did confess…. My cousin said he could understand his mom pulling his chain, but his aunt was pretty straight. Her chiming in convinced him.

They’re all gone now, but I still get a chuckle when I think of that or tell it.

I once frog gigged in a pond that had so many frogs in it we could barely row the boat because of their heads rubbing on the bottom of the boat.

About 20 years ago I read a story about a guy from some where near Yugoslavia. He was an Olympic Gold Metal pistol shooter. He lost his right hand in farming equipment. He trained with his left hand and won another Olympic Gold Metal.

Same friend from my post before was telling me about a Huge buck he had seen the week before I asked him to describe the rack said he couldn’t just saw his tail and it was huge.

I don't really like a thief, but I really hate liars..
