CRAP!!! what am I doing? Now others will make those shots! I am no longer Special!!!

Quick war story. On 66D in 87, Dave Zavitz (RIP) and I would do the SOTIC invitational. We set up pistol silhouettes on the target boards and then from the 1000 yd line would bet which of us would get a clean shot on target. We had to call out own winds and use the student's M24 that Dave built on a short action. The shot was standing off hand. We made a boat load of beer as the students would always bet we could not even his the target board, (6' x 6') at that range. They had been shooting all morning trying to get a good score on a full 'E' type. Needless to say we could and the students owed us the beer. That was before all the BS about "taking advantage of students" came about and you could nto bet them anymore. Our bet was the scoring ring. One of the times I won, Dave says double or nothing, I went with it, I did not know he had hot loaded some rounds and had Randy Lykens call wind for him.
