With my nylon 66 I can consistentely hit hand thrown golf balls, limestone rocks and quarters. Stingers will go right thru a quarter. My oldest son is better than me cause he has younger eyes. He can hit dimes and pennies.
 
"Trick shot"?? I'm not sure if it's a trick shot or not, but... I'm better then most, but not as good as some.

Yeh...Right...351 WINCHESTER......................................
 
I can throw a washer in the air using any caliber rifle or pistol and it has a hole right in the center....EVERYTIME!

I don't know if it could be called "Trick" shooting but I shoot pretty well with my eyes closed.:)

I use to say the Texas CHL qualification was so easy you could pass it with your eyes closed.
I followed exactly the qualification rules, except I didn't shoot at 15 yards so I forfeited 50 points. For each shot or string of shots I started with gun pointed down, eyes closed.
Passed with points to spare.:D

I am not too impressed with shooting up close, 7 yards. So I thought I'd try 7 yards with my eyes closed. I picked a Taurus PT99 that I hadn't shot in a couple years to rule out "muscle memory". The 1 and 2 refers to the 1st and 2nd magazine.
I totally missed three times.

The day I brought the CZ40P home. I shot a few magazines at ten yards and was so impressed with how naturally the gun pointed I tried five shots with my eyes closed.

I like 38 J Frame S&W revolvers.

I've seen people do these shots many times. I see no reason not to believe him.

+1, seen it several times, from different shooters.

My best one was calling (which individual berry) and shooting a China Berry off of a tree with a .22lr, at about 30 yards offhand. But I'll fully admit it was the gun, more than me. Just gotta love that old 52b. It did win me $10, but I couldn't get them to go double or nothing. So I don't know if I could repete it.

Also, I can regularly hit a clay at 100 yards, off hand with a .22lr. When I say hit, I mean the center section to keep from busting the ring. Some had the whole center section broken out, others just had a small (~1/4") hole shot in them. Did this one with a couple different rifles.

One trick I'd love to do is split a playing card in two sideways. That'd be something.
Click to expand...

1. align you sights on the card
2. start pressing the trigger straight back
3. when your sights drift... stop pressing, but don't release the pressure you have on the trigger
4. when the sights are back on target...start pressing again
5. repeat steps 2-4 until the shot breaks
6. do not hurry to make the shot go off
7. collect both halves and take photo
 
I was reluctant to post as I knew there would be doubters. Those who doubt haven't practiced enough and or don't posess the necessary skills.

My oldest son has the same skills as his old man and he's a better shot than I am. His friends all doubted his skills too.

Now call me a liar.
 
I'd say (never truly tried it, but I'm confident) that I can most-times hit a bad guy if he's in my house, with a load of 00 buck.

That's only if I owned a firearm of course. Lost all of mine in a boating accident. :)

The way I always did it back in my muzzleloading days was to keep the sights lined up and lean slightly to the right or left to see the white line of the card, when the white line disappears its time to shoot. Usually not extreamily hard with a .54 or .50 caliber. Try it with a .32 caliber flinter.
 
Many years ago when I was younger I would throw an empty aluminum can into a fast flowing mountain stream, and with my nylon66 I would shoot the can at just the right place to make it fly straight up in the air about eight feet, and then I would shoot the can two more times while it was in the air before it fell back into the water. The can was about 30 to 40 feet away when I shot it. I could do this consistently and would sometimes put on a show for friends. On the other side of the creek there was a steep mountainside for a backstop so it was safe. But now because of health problems, I doubt if I could do that.
 
years ago I first stumbled upon THR because of a post by a shooter who had a really nice ruger 10/22

his trick shot was that at 50 yards he could hit an empty 44 magnum case head on...while it was swinging from a pendulum. He put a rolex watch on each side of the 44 magnum case to up the risk factor.
 
351 WINCHESTER...I didn't call you a lier...But you do tell a good story...

My we are touchy today...Go get another cup of coffee and calm down...
 
I once shot a flushing quail with a 4" .38 S&W (Not Spl). No one believes that one either. :scrutiny:

I was like whoa s*** for a minute myself. :uhoh:

Flame suit on.........:cool:


And I don't drink coffee. :D
 
Most awesome shot of any kind that I ever did......

Hear a ruckus in the yard...open door...see a stocky black dog plucking one of my game roosters...he sees me see him....he grabs rooster and runs...I'm pressed for time to dispatch him....the 22 is in the bedroom (Crap), but the longbow I shot last night is still in the living room....grab strung bow and a arrow (just happened to be a blunt) , run, come to anchor....that arrow flew like it was riding a rail to his arse....bowled the dog over at 80 yards....he dumps the rooster.... It was a beautiful thing to behold. Only wish now that I'd grabbed an arrow with a broadhead or that the .22 was closer. :)
 
at 25 feet with a scoped air rifle i shot through a piece of black sewing thread that was hanging & tied around the neck of a plastic figure sitting on a horse.had to try it after seeing the good the bad & the ugly.

I made a tin can dance with a Browning HP some years ago.
Unfortunately, that's also when I discovered that BHP's cause hammer bite on my wide hands. However, I was having so much fun I didn't notice the damage to my hand!
 
I took basic training in 1968. Part of our firearms training was a course called Quick Kill. In essence they taught virtually everyone to shoot small metal discs thrown into the air.... with a Daisy air rifle that had no sights. Some of the guys could hit aspirins.
