During range sessions for my concealed carry qualification, we were required to shoot 21 rounds into a target at 3 and 7 yards away.
During this session, we had an initial "practice run" to familiarize ourselves with the course and get ready for qualifying. I had more ammo for my Kimber Stainless Target than any other gun I brought, so I decided to practice with it.
As the practice session progressed, people around me began to notice that my target had one ragged hole in the middle. Now, to qualify, the instructors have to count the number of rounds on the target, and 72% of 21 rounds have to be in the "7" or better range.
Since my target had one ragged hole in the center, the instructor, a couple of feet shorter than me, looked at the target, then over at me. With a coy smirk on her face, she came up to me and said, "Do you know how hard it is going to be to count the hits on your target?"
Just to be a smart-aleck, during the actual qualification phase I deliberately aimed at different spots on the target to create a wider dispersion. With a smirk on MY face, I looked at the instructor, and said, "Think you can count those?"
She just smiled. I smiled back and said, "Do you know how hard that was to deliberately create a dispersion pattern?"
I qualified.
