[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2900894, member: 109862"] That’s the sort of thing you DO NOT TRY to do a second time 🤣. Let the record stand as it is! My dad is an expert outdoorsmen and good hunter, but not a gun nut at all, and by his own admission not a particularly notable marksman. Hasn’t really had to be, as I mentioned he’s good in the field, has hunted his whole life with an iron sighted 30-30 and I think the farthest shot he’s ever taken was 150 yards, and most have been inside 50…he’s always been able to get real close. Anyway; in college me and my friends were all plinking at some frost bitten produce one fall including a bunch of pumpkins just for fun. The old man comes out with his lever gun. He is not a man of bravado or big talking so his attitude about all this was even funnier: I ask him “you gonna shoot a pumpkin dad?” AND HE SCOFFS AND LAUGHS. “I’ll save them for you amateurs. I’m gonna shoot the stem clean off the top of that one”. He loads exactly one cartridge into the gun, casually shoulders the thing, points in the general direction of the pumpkin…and shoots the stem right off the top just as he said he would! I detected a very slight moment of surprise on his face, followed by a gleeful smile, followed by absolute SMUGNESS. He doesn’t say anything, just walks back in the house… 🤣🤣🤣🤣 [/QUOTE]
