Yeah, but I was at twice that and sober enough to remember which end of the bullet to insert first.

Back in the days when I was younger we'd shoot percussion caps at 75 yards. The caps would ignite a pile of black powder inside a pipe plugged with a croquet ball or something and whatever that hit on the target was your score. That target was 200 yards further out and held by your opponent in the shootin' match.

Are there any others among you who can truthfully say that they've shot their own balls?
