    No, but when we were teenagers a friend of mine used to trick other kids into flipping a half dollor up in the air and he would shoot it with a 22, it was hit just about every time too. He would just point the old 22 up and pull the trigger and that half was gone.

    Back in the early '60's I watched an old-time exhibition shooter from Hastings, PA, Mr. Fred Soisson, toss a flat washer with a 3/8" hole in the middle into the air, and shoot at it with a .22 pistol. He would say "I shot right through the hole!" and the crowd would laugh. Then he'd take a postage stamp, lick it and stick it on the next washer, toss it into the air, and then there was a hole through the center of the washer through the stamp. Then he progressed to small coins, and then on down to aspirin tablets, hitting nearly every time. I saw his act several times, he was a friend of my father, and did an exhibition each year at the County Park Picnic (as well as other places). He also used rifles and shotguns in his performances.

    No BS, and then you show us a picture of a clean drill bit hole??
    (About all I can hit when I throw a coin in the air is the ground. Get it every time though!)
