The lead ball splitting trick is not too difficult to do. Used to do it on a regular basis at Longhunter shoots but was always shooting either a .50 cal. long rifle or a 20 gauge smoothbore at 15 yards. It would be more difficult with a squirrel rifle in .32 or .36 caliber. Some matches involved splitting a playing card in two edgewise. We also had cracker matches. Start with a Saltine and work your way down by elimination to an oyster cracker.
