The point is that if a 14 year old can hit such a small target with a decent gun and decent ammunition, imagine what any semi-accomplished shooter could do with a scope, rangefinder, high-quality rounds and a decent accuracy rifle. Putting a bullet through a cantelope-sized object at 150 yards would be almost as easy as thinking about doing so.)

Yah, it would be doable with my old deer rifle so if you switch to a varmit round like the .223 it would be a piece of cake, except for the killing another human being part. Speaking of marksmanship, I was talking with another Dad at a blood drive last night. He mentioned that his son got his first deer with a bow. Apparently the kid is an absolute genius with a bow. He was showing off for his Dad the other day and he hit a garden hose washer at 25 yards...twice.
