I remember my dad reading this to my brothers and I when we were kids:
How I Used My New Box of Shells
Shot #1 -- Missed the target completely at 100 yards. Rifle needed sighted in.
Shot #2 -- Hit target in lower right-hand corner - from 10 yards.
Shot #3 -- Bull's-eye - after getting rifle back from gunsmith who sighted it in.
Shot #4 -- Accidentally pulled trigger while loading rifle in vehicle; will repair transmission when I get home.
Shot #5 -- Fired into air to signal start of drive; fined $200 by game warden for killing a turkey.
Shot #6 -- The excitement of seeing my first deer caused me to fire before rifle was to my shoulder - I only have to replace left boot.
Shot #7 -- Missed deer completely...not so sure about cows across the field.
Shot #8 -- To clean mud from barrel after falling over embankment while being chased by farmer. Now I'm sure about the cows....
Shot #9 -- Slipped and fell while crossing stream. Buddy says I'll have to replace his hunting cap and also pay for having his underwear washed.
Shot #10 -- Forgot can opener. Opened a can of pork and beans; the few beans that were left tasted too much like gunpowder to eat them.
Shot #11 -- Shot too low at deer, glanced off rock, wounded chipmunk.
Shot #12 --Finished off wounded chipmunk.
Shot #13 -- Checked scope again, hit big bucket hanging on pole. Hope people get electricity back soon.
Shot #14 -- At deer moving through brush. I'd never heard some of the words that it used.
Shot #15 -- To check scope again after being hit on the head with my own rifle.
Shot #16 -- Knocked buck down but didn't go to claim it when game warden tried to arrest a nearby hunter for killing a doe.
Shot #17 -- Gun accidentally fired while dragging it under fence. Have to replace right boot now.
Shot #18 -- Won a $1.00 bet from buddy who said I couldn't hit a junked car on other hill. Hot radiators sure do make a lot of steam...
Shot #19 -- Killed running buck with 3-inch spikes at 625 yards. It takes skill to be a good hunter.
Shot #20 -- Save for next season. It never pays to waste ammunition!
