Very interesting conundrum. I am looking forward to seeing how you solve it.

Good luck.

In 1987 I while I was in the police academy I had a firearms instructor that was an incredible shooter. One of my class mates was named Jamie Swoop, he was our lone country boy in the class. The two got to talking which led to bragging about shooting. After awhile of banter instructor stated that he would outshoot Jamie with his own gun!. Jamie claimed the he could shoot Quarters out of the air with a Ruger Single Six 22 Lr. The instructor said he could also shoot coins out of the air. So, the next day Jamie brought his pistol and was indeed shooting thrown quarters out of the air. The instructor also shot every quarter thrown and then ended the competition by shooting thrown dimes in the air. Jamie missed many of the thrown dimes! The instructor finished the competition with a 6 shot accuracy competition fired one handed at 25 yards. Jamie fired his six shots into a pretty nice group. The instructor then reloaded Jamie's gun held the Single Six upside down, pulling the trigger with his pinky finger and fired a 6 shot group the was no larger then a bottle cap! Incredible shooting and he did indeed beat Jamie Swoop with his own gun. This shooting competition was witnessed by my entire recruit class. I learned two things from this event, never underestimate any ones claim of shooting ability and respect the pinky finger!
