Since Vern Humphrey yelled this at Steve Henderson, I hollered this in 
response:

Ungodly accurate, too.  The last missile I got to fire before going to the
Tech schools was at a Tank Retriever at about 3400 meters.  My aim point
was the Centerline mark on the boom.  After the shoot, we got to look at
out targets.  I was less than an inch off.  You could still see where the
centerline broke for the "C", but you couldn't see the "C".  The entry hole
was only about 1-1/2".  The exit was quite a bit larger.
I got to fire seven missiles in all.
