post-WWII Germany with a 8mm Mauser. They were hitting a target out to 200 yards and one of the guys said "yeah, but does it have much punch at that range?"

So my dad takes a bead on one of the 2x4 target supports....and blows it in two.

Rangemaster is not pleased.

The next weekend he and his friends are at the range rebuilding target stands.
