Default Just a friendly wager!!!

Alright, I took this from a post on AT b/c i thought it was pretty neat.

"i was just wondering. and i know some will lie, who would make this shot:

if someone said to you i'll bet you $50.oo you can't go outside right now and drill this empty Skoal can at 40 yards. no warmup shots. no wind. take your time but ONLY ONE SHOT. how many of you would take the bet? and how many would believe they would hit it?

now how about $500.oo. would you still do it."

How many of you would TRUELY do either??? I know a few people personally who I would lay down 50 betting they could, but im not sure I would trust myself lol!!! I LOVE my money

Can I use BH, and does the EDGE count??? If so, I'm almost 75% sure I'd take that shot, otherwise, about 50/50 on the first shot, sure.

I would put myself at about a 1 in 10 chance of hitting it. I do not even practice out to more than about 30-32 yards.

I do that with myself all of the time. The first practice arrow of the day, or the first practice arrow in a couple of hours,I will go to 45 yds and aim atone of thered circles (the smallcircle side)on my morrell yellow jacket. I hit it often enough (+70%)but, the truth is, this practice has convinced me to limit my max hunting yardage to 25 yards. I'll betany amount of money you want that I can hit the skoal can the first shot of any day at 25 yards.
