    Shooting a high powered rifle at Kennedy's portrait is in somewhat bad taste, don't you think?

    It was the only large sized shiney coin I had at the time. No political assumptions should be made.

    A close look at the pic and you will see that the bullet entered from the reverse of the coin !! Kennedys portrait was not the target !!

    good shooting !!

    As soon as I saw the pic I knew some hyper-sensitive weenie would post something like that. What's next? We can't use purple Barney targets anymore?

    200 yards is a pretty good shot. Oswald would be proud for sure. Now can you put down the gun and run down a few flights of stairs real quick still looking normal??

    What did ya do, put it in the edge of a can laid on it's side before you shot it so you could find it afterwards? The coin would be blasted inside of the can so you could find it easier afterwards.

    Actually I'm not that out of shape. Heck, last year I ran 80 yards to intercept a wild turkey.image

    After I got the gun sighted in, I taped the coin to the target using clear packing tape. The bullet passes through so fast that the coin never moved. It was still taped securely to the target.

    First the shot Lincoln, now the Kennedy. Are there any other coins with the busts of assasinated presidents on them that we can feature?

    Russ, do you remember a mod for the original Doom that turned all of the enemy creatures into purple Barneys and put a chainsaw in your hands as the weapon?

    Perhaps the bullet that missed 1/2 inch to the right was from the second shooter?
