That is a 1 in 1000 shot! Post the pic if you can find it.

100 YARDS !?!?!?...........XD_EE said:A few years ago, my mother was out with the dogs (two labs) on her usual morning walk. The path is a remote area due to where the home is. On the way back from her walk, one of the labs took off on a dead run ahead barking. She held the other lab back. Then she noticed that her first lab was confronting a coyote. Worried that the coyote would hurt the dog she quickly ran to the house (not very far from the incedent) and banged on the door for my father to get a gun. My father came out with his rifle and his 9mm berretta. By this point the dog was under control and the coyote had time to hide. My mother pointed out the previous location of the coyote at which time it poked its head out of the bushes about 100 yards away. The berretta was loaded and the rifle was not so my father quickly took aim and shot at the coyote. The coyote disappeared. He figured he scared it off or maybe injured it so he went to look. When he arrived where the coyote was, he discovered he had made the shot cleanly between the eyes of the coyote at 100 yards.
After this incident, my mother who previously would have nothing to do with guns, was very grateful that my father had his gun. He commented to my mother - "If you were glad that I had my gun to protect your dogs, don't you think you would be glad that I had my gun if I had to protect our daughter?". Since that time, my mother has learned to handle and shoot.
I have a picture of my dad with coyote if I can find it.
????????????????? :? ????????????????100 yards = 3ft*100 = 900 ft

with a BERETTA F92 PISTOL ????
And they say Guns and Alocohol don't mix. The exact thing I would say about Math and Alcohol :shock:tapehoser said:????????????????? :? ????????????????100 yards = 3ft*100 = 900 ft
With 3 feet to every yard, that comes out to 300 feet in my math book.![]()

I know how he felt. the end of August I was working in Wyoming and the other guy I had taked with me to this large ranch and I had been shooting some Prarie Dogs.PW said:I have a good friend that I watched shoot 2 tweety birds out of the air with a BB gun during our teenage years. One of the shots was probably close to 25 yards. Course I also watched him shoot at thousands of birds that way.
A few years back I was with a few friends at the shooting range and a tweety bird landed in a tree about 85-90 yards away. My buddy had an open site .22 pistol. First shot...nothing. Second shot, bird falls out of the tree dead. The funniest thing was his reaction. He felt pretty bad....didn't think in a million years he would hit it.

While we are baring our soul's I have another one. I am a Geologist and while I was at summer field camp I was walking through my area with my rock hammer. It is an Estwing and it has a piece pf parachute string tied in a loop on the handle.tapehoser said:Very similar thing happened to me when I was little....except it was with a rock.
We were just having a rock throwing contest at a new (unopened) golf course to see who could throw the farthest into a lake. I threw it the farthest....and in so doing paralyzed a baby duck in the pond. I sat there and watched in horror as it swam in circles with its head stuck in the water, (broken neck) drowning.
Haunts me to this day.
Stomped on a spider last night… does that count? It was the size of a small rabbit or duck. I also hit a opossum with my car a few years back (but I tried to miss it).Jeff Johnson said:Um, I killed a fly once with a rubber band from six feet away. Does that count? Am I a murderer too? :twisted: :lol:
Maybe worse ... it doesn't haunt me to this day. I must have no conscience... :shock:
