Hi James,
About shooting a one hole group not being possible except in fiction.
It depends on what the writer means by one hole. If the writer means that
Straker puts all 8 rounds into the same bullet hole without making it any
bigger you are right. It would be very difficult for a Olympic Master class
shooter to do this using the best pistol and ammo available. But it might
happen on a good day if everything when just right. However the writer might
mean that Straker shoot what is refered to as a "one hole group". This is a
group where the bullets hits are so close that it just makes the first hole
bigger but it only leave one hole in the target. I shoot in the expert to
master class and I can do this.
Now as to drawing a smiley face with bullet holes. Sorry this is
possible. I can do it but there are shooters who can. Years ago the gun an
ammo companies had what were known as exhibition who gave shows and drew
pictures with bullet holes. Annie Oakley did it. So did Ed McGivern back in
the 30's. There is some guy doing it now but I can't recall his name. So it
is possible that Ed Straker could do it. It just takes a steady hand, a keen
eye and lots of ammo to practice with.
Sorry Marc for getting off UFO this an last time.
