Okay, Okay.........

So,,,,,,,,,,,,,He hit the fly.

Now....did he hit the fly right exactly in the eye, or was it just an ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill, garden variety center-mass fly shot???

Like.......wuz it an Alpha?...   Or X-ring?....   Inner 10?....

Or just a Charlie?   [There's no B-zone in Classic Fly-shooting targets.   Metric, yes.   But not Classic.]

Just Askin', that's all.

COM, only hits count.   The ageless .45 dominates this game.  :)

The ageless .45...........

Coulda dunnit [whacked that fly] w/.40S&W.   Even in Minor.

Coulda.

There's an Old Sayin', "If a .45ACP is the only tool you have, every problem looks like it can be solved with 7+1 rounds."

I heard that our own NFOA Forum O. T. Fly has already copyrighted this game and gained the rights to the web domain name.

Now..........I gotta go elsewhere on this Forum to deal with another issue:   Steel Challenge.

That was a NICE hit Lorimor, but I personally prefer to just shoot their wings off.

When I was a teenager, yesterday, ahem!!!: I used to shoot flys with my BB gun. I would go out by a small creek  to shoot and pick them off as they landed on a log. Made for some good practice.
