RR, That would really be a trick shot for the books. :)

I like that idea! Looks fun and challenging. Those bullet skid marks are grouped nicely also! :lol:

The lack of holes in any of the “backstop” items makes me think you missed the point! :roll:

I really don't get what you are saying here and with the eye rolling. The holes in my 'back stop" would be hard to see when my back stop is a 400+ lb. home made bullet trap full of several hundred lb. of sand and a 2ft diameter oak log over a foot thick in front of it that I put my target board in front of. How many thousand bullet holes in my back stop do you want to see? I posted shooting the matches so maybe some one else would like to try some thing they maybe never tried before. The same with shooting the cards. I get bored with shooting bulls eyes all the time. Lets see some of your shooting skills. You may have something you shoot I might want to try. I like looking at other members posting their shooting with their rifles and hand guns. Tomorrow I might shoot M&M's and then try to shoot the flies that land on the splatter from the chocolate. ;) :lol: Wow. Another new game I can try.

I agree with changing it up. Bought some playing cards yesterday! Thank you for the idea.

Maybe take a minute and relax there bandit! I was joking that the lit matches were on your cleaning bench, with (thankfully) no bullet holes in your walls or cleaning supplies. Your shooting skills are obviously great as not too many of us could likely even hit a matchstick. Obviously sometimes things don’t translate well across the interweb, but you might want to try and take less offence by what you <think> posts are saying.

I’d bet you CAN hit those M&Ms too...
