This evening while checking m y new trail camera I took a crazy shot at a squirrel sitting still on a branch 75 YARDS AWAY! I actually killed the stupid thing first shot with a .22. Whats the craziest thing that you've seen/done like this?

Shooting clay pigeons out behind my house one day with my buddy. He hadn't shot his gun in a while so he was getting sighted in before we went dove hunting.

10 minutes into shooting clays a dove comes flying by. I just mumbled out loud "oh, you stupid dove..." and I shot, missed, led a little more shot again and dropped it into the neighbor's corn. Tossed the dog over the fence and about 5 minutes later out Jake came with the bird.

The shot was at least 70 yards, but closer to 75 or 80 I'd say. Clay loads, #7.5. Lucky. :cool::D

I wasn't there but my dad said the he was dove hunting with his cousin once and his cousin killed two birds with one shot while they were flying. When I was maybe 11 I killed a "buzzard" with some #7 shot in a 20 guage and I took it to my mamaw to find out it was a turkey that I killed.

My farthest shot on a squirrel is one that I took last fall...it was about 70 yards, dropped it. I haven't ever shot at one farther, normally I'll work on sneaking in closer. In fact, if the conditions weren't right, I wouldn't take that shot again.

Here's a link to the post from when I shot this one:

I have was not there but my in-laws love to tell this story. Do not try this at home.

Many moons ago my wifes cousin got a 30-30 for Christmas. They were out in the yard trying out the gun on Christmas day when a flock of geese flew over. The story changes every year but someone bet Brad that he could not shoot a goose. He picked one and took aim. BANG! And a goose fell from the sky and they had the goose for dinner that night. True story.

holy crap lol I remember goofing off with my cousin one day with his recurve and we were shooting arrows straight up in the air and they would just almost go out of sight but then they would start down again so one day by myself I got the bright idea to do it with my compound.......yeah that was stupid not only did I lose sight of my arrow and chance it killing somebody but I was standing there like ok do I need to move or stay put so it didnt come down on me.....I still have no idea where the arrow went....could be up in the atmosphere still lol
