Clearly there are safety issues... I just watched a Beverly Hillbillies episode where the Clampetts were shooting at flies about 100 yards away after bouncing off a large rock near the flies. If there were a TFL Mythbusting section, does anyone have any experience intentionally hitting a target (not the size of a barn, assume a deer sized one) after bouncing off some hard object?
