    Put a roll of quarters up I'll hit one of them sooner or later!

    Thats pretty darn good at 200 yards. I figured there had to be others that had done it. Shooting off the bench with excellent optics and a very accurate rifle it is not that hard at 100 yards. And you can do it without overshoes on too!

    Just luck. You can see the rest of the group

    Yes, I 'listen' to what Larry has to say about shooting cast. One reason I got as far as I have. Still want to do better.

    I won a case of soda at a range in Germany one day. I and a classmate were at the rifle zero range for his infantry platoon (I was a tanker). In between groups the plt sgt pulled out some German coins and bet us we couldn't hit one. Keep in mind the POI on the zero tgt is not the same as the aimpoint. Suffice to say, the infantry plt sgt lost to a tanker lieutenant. He kept the coin and I found out he used it in training, something like, 'If that Dumb Axx Tanker can hit this thing why can't you grunts do it.'

    We're close enough to the border that we could use Canadian quarters. You could probably get Mexican pesos if they still do coins.

    I used to put up 1/4 inch fender washers at 500 yards, but I got tired of shooting through the center of them.
