Some years ago in Utah two friends and I were hunting tin cans at an informal dumping site. We spotted a pheasant about 50 yards downhill. My buddies proceeded to empty a 44 Mag, a 357 mag, and a cap and ball revolver at it without results. The bird stayed put, presumably due to shell shock. I then pulled out my 7.65 Parabellum and nailed it on the first shot.<hr /></blockquote>Dear Unspellable:

BRAVO!!! I hope that you then blew the smoke out of the barrel and went on your way, laughing inside of course!!!

The best shot of my life was with a 1909 Mauser Rifle. I shot a nasty black bird out of a dead oak tree at about 200 yards, open sights, naturally. I just stood there and looked at the Mauser in astonishment!
