When I recently flew down for a long weekend at Brownie's, not only did I shoot Ankeny's 2-2-2 drill along with being brought up to speed on the curriculum that he has worked out with 7677 and Sweatnbullets, but Brownie also gave me Rifle Quick Kill.
Using his trusty, front sightless Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, Brownie had me hitting small pebbles out to 6-9 feet with ease. I'd just pick out a pebble, oh, maybe up to 3/8" diameter, pull the trigger... and it would squirt off in some direction as the BB hit it. Some of the pebbles were just glints of light (we were doing this one evening in the light of his back porch), and they just disappeared.
Rabbits... oh yeah... the rabbits... I almost forgot the rabbits. After a few minutes of shooting pebbles... I noticed the rabbits feeding under the bushes about 70-90ft away. Way too far for a Daisy Red Ryder let alone one without it's front sight... as the BB's would bend left and right at that distance, but I would pick a rabbit, snap the gun up and let fly... with NO sights... and get those rabbits a jumping!
But that's not the best part. After shooting the pebbles for 5 minutes or so, he fetched a coffee can, and had me shooting the coffee can as he tossed it 6-10 ft in the air. No more than 5 minutes or so after pinging that can then the best part came. The best part is the new family heirloom Brownie gave me... for within 15 minutes from the start of all this, Brownie had me hitting a quarter out of the air... a quarter that I'm saving for my children, along with the story about how Daddy learned to shoot coins in the air:
