I have several, one time I was at the range with a couple of friends shooting pistols, we were mostly shooting at 25 yards. One of the friends said that pistols were only good for about 25 yards, so I went and set a target at 100 yards, and using my last round of 357, took aim and hit a 1" paster dead center! The other guy asked me if I shot that good all the time, and I said yeah
Another time, I was trying to get some gravel delivered to "pave" my road leading to a farm i had bought and the gravel guy came to look and see how much gravel it would take. I noticed a stainless steel Savage rifle in his truck and commented on how that was a good looking rifle. He puled it out and told me it was a Win. 300 Mag. and how good it shot. Using the porch post as a rest, he shot at a 100 yard target I had set up. The rifle had open sights, and he proceeded to put a bullet at about 7:00, just outside of the 3/4" dot. He then challenged me to try. I tried to decline because I didn't have my glasses with me and can't hardly see the front sight without them. Well, I decided to give it a try and started to shoot it as he did, using the porch post for a rest, but decided I didn't know how bad the thing recoiled since I never fired a 300 Mag. and instead stood away from the porch and shot it offhand. I manage to put my shot at 7:00 just to the outside of where his bullet had hit. I handed him back the rifle and said "I think your sights might be a tad offâ€
