I had a few minutes and I took my S&W 35-1, a 22/32 model 1953 target, 6 shot J frame with a 6" barrel, to the range and was going to burn up about 100 rounds...
2 young friends were there and we had our typical what did you bring conversation along with the obligatory wanna shoot it, Naah I just wanted to shoot my 22. They had a AK, shorty bushy AR with a red dot, a Mosin and a Mauser 98 in 8mm.
I got my targets hung at 25 yds, and got my ears on and looked to their targets at 50 yds and noticed a plastic water bottle on top of the target stand. I let them shoot a bunch while I was looking for a decent group with the ammo I was using, federal bulk pack. One of the guys was shooting his Ak at the bottle and the other was using his Mauser. After a 10 round mag thru the AK and a stripper reload with the Mauser these guys were getting nowhere so I reloaded my 22 Revo and raised it up to the target, set the water bottle lid at the top of the front sight and squeezed off a round and the water bottle flipped over into the grass. They both looked up to sight in on the bottle and said where is it, and I just grinned.
The nasty thing after we went to check targets we set it up again and they tried again and after about 3 or 4 shots each, I shot it just as one of them shot. He knew I shot just as he did and looked at me and said did you shoot it again. Yep I did it.
The next time we went and checked targets we set it up again and we walked back the the firing line and I loaded my 22 and shot it over again right from the start. 
I really had fun at the range today.
