 I imagine everyone has a similar story to tell, here's mine....
 One afternoon, before we were married, my wife joined  me at the
 range for an afternoon of relaxation. We were at a local range
 that had a rather unusual arrangement. The 25 yard pistol targets
 were directly in line with some 100 yard targets, so if a person
 was of a mind to they could try a few longer shots. I must have
 been in just such a mood, 'cause it wasn't long before I found myself
 calculating the correct amount of holdover at 100 yards for a .38+P.
 The first round printed about 8 inches from the bull. I told Laura
 "Watch this" and squeezed off another shot. This one punched a hole
 not a half inch from dead center. She comment was "Smart%#%". That
 day, I fired 48 additional rounds at that target, none of which
 managed to find the paper.
 Of course, she got even (Womem _always_ get even) a few weeks later.
 We were at a different range, firing from the 25 yard line. She fired
 one round and proclaimed she was finished. When we went downrange, I
 saw that the one round she fired was exactly dead center. She took her
 target down and hasn't fired another round since.
 Take care
 Ed
