Actually ...My brother and I would do an act similar to this as kids. I would hold a lit cigarette and he would cut the fire off of it with a .22 (open sights, NO scope) Then I would hold up a kitchen match and he'd light it with a bullet and I'd relight the cig. ---Ray
Really....The man is the best shot I have ever known. I started shooting at five. He was four. That was more than 50 years ago. The shooting act was Pops Idea. We did it for bets he'd place with his VFW buddies. G_D help us if He lost money. I once went hunting with him. He was using the M1893 Swedish Mauser I gave him for his birthday. He said "watch this I'm gonna shoot that one in the asshole. He did just exactly that at 300 yards. The bullet cane out the back of the neck in front of the withers severing the spine. He(the deer) never twitched. Just fell over sideways. We used to make Pop money by making book on how many cuts we could make in toothpicks stuck in the fence post, using our .22's. If Pop lost money we got a beating. After a while Pop didn't lose money.----Ray ---P.S. "Raggedy Ass Marines" were badass in ways modern snowflakes can't even understand.
Isn't he supposed to say"hold mah beer" before doing something stupid?
ReplyDeleteI know about 4 people I'd trust to do that....
ReplyDeleteBut none of 'em would, cause they don't trust me to hold still.
William Tell ( or Billie Sue Tell) with a .270....and junior is a bit smarter...at least it's in his hand instead of on his head....

Classic case of alcohol abuse if I ever saw one.
