Let me see if I have this right. You want me to drag my forty pound piece of armor plate onto a commercial airliner, bring it to Florida, let you shoot it with your ammo, which is probably the same as mine, What makes you think your ammo would do any better than mine?) and If I win you will fly me home?
I would be an idiot to take that bet. For starters if I won, you would pay for the ROUND TRIP not just the ride home. And I can't see the airline not being suspicious over someone wanting to take an armor plate full of bullet holes on their plane. So that means it would have to be shipped. Round trip payment on that one, also.
I am 69 and have diabetes, gout, hypertension, a bad back and one bad knee. I live alone, and if I left, someone would have to take care of my animals. (I live in the country) You're the youngster, you come to me and I'll pay YOUR plane fare if I lose. But that isn't fair for me ask that, I assume you are still working and would have to take time off. So you have issued a challenge that I cannot respond to. That means, by the rules of such activities......
We will declare you the winner of the bet.
Now we have to negotiate what it is that you won

I'm thinking the ball transfers energy to the asphalt, which transfers it back to the ball. All I can think of, anyway. Some energy is lost in all this shuffling around. You will notice the ball fell 50' but only rebounded 15 or 20'
