    Why?
    What practical application does hitting a 3ft gong on your third shot have? At least he had sufficient mass to soak up the recoil.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I suppose. Rifles to me, are more tool than toy. Thats like doing maths for fun.

    In saying thats, if the guy offered me a shot Id do it
