All the stories are made-up, they use a yard-stick that's five-feet long, and the x-ring is the size of a garbage-can lid. ;-) Yeh, it’s unpossible for sure.

I know there are a million people out there that shoot better than I do. Fortunately, none of them are going to break in to my house at 3:00 am. I take them at their word.

We shoot 100 yard reduced matches, but some of these offhand groups are downright awe-inspiring. They keep trying to explain to me that it's really just doing everything the exact same way, over and over again, and adjusting your sights so the spot you keep hitting happens to be in the X ring. I'm not getting much better, but at least I'm starting to understand the lesson.
