Last week we watched a History Channel program on shooting and saw some trick shot artists shooting at a target behind them using a mirror. Saw the same thing in cowboy movies years ago when I was young. Well, I took my Remington 241 to the range today and on the way stopped by the dollar store and bought a $1.08 (with tax) mirror. After shooting a couple hundred rounds of .22 and .17, it was time to break out the mirror and try to embarras myself and look funny. (By this time a couple more people and one youngster had arrived at the range.) It took about 10 minutes to get the hang of holding the mirror and getting a sight picture and another 5 min or so to get the sight picture on the target at 25 yards. So, sitting in a chair behind the shooting bench, with an audiance and praying not to screw up too badly, I shot 10 shots at the target using my thumb to depress the trigger. I amazed myself and everyone watching by hitting the target 10 for 10. Not only did I hit the target but with a pretty vertical pattern, all high, from 1 to 8 inches above the X ring. I was pretty happy with my first attempt and I think I can get better.
Has anyone else attempted something of this nature?
