Remember back when sunoco had those presidential coins? They were gold colored, about the size of a $.50 piece, They each had the head of a different president on them. They would give you one every time you got gas. Well, me and my buddy were on our way to the range with his M1 Garand and we got one (Bill Clinton LOL) when we filled up his truck with gas.
Well, when we got to the range and were setting up targets, I taped it to the backstop and we laughed.
I had never shot an M1, and my VERY first shot I nailed it at 100yrds. Right between Bills eyes...with open sights.
It took me about 30mins to find the damn coin, though, because it flew off into the woods.
I still have the coin somewhere, and if I can find it I'll take a pic. It was great. I forgot all about it until now.
