That round had enough kinetic energy to continue on down the path towards the target. I ended up hitting the giant mound of dirt below it.
I will have to tell the wife some day. And no she can't threaten me with no sex. She is pregnant and I have been starved for 4 months now. I think I could survive another month or more just fine.

What's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? One's a sick duck... I can't remember how it ends, but you're mother's a *****.

Dont feel bad I had scorch marks on the hood of my old GMC from siting my rifle in. I also found out that there isnt much that will stop a 300 WIN Mag after I followed the bullet through a 12in maple, a 6in poplar, and 3in well casing and never found the slug.

Yes that is right folks. I managed to shoot my truck while trying to sight in my 30-06 Remington. I have never seen a scope so badly messed up. After about 11 rounds I gave up @ 100 yards. Moved in to 75 yards and it was just as bad. But on my first try with open sights I hit the target. My Weaver scope had bit the dust officially after examining the optics.
Anyways, for those curious how I managed to hit my truck with a round, it was quite funny. My father-in-law laughed too. I was using my bed rails as a stabilizer. The end I was shooting off of was much higher than the other side. I aimed at the target and no where in the optics was my bed rail. I pulled the trigger and the bed rail exploded. I made a perfect shot through the plastic portion of the bed rail and out the other side. Just a very very light hint of primer is showing on the paint. I will post the carnage pictures tomorrow. But my wife doesn't know yet.........shhhhh !!!! But the optics were messed up so bad that the gun was shooting about 1' low at just the truck. It was hopeless trying to mess with the scope.
On a side note, I am picking up a Leupold for $250 bucks off a dealer @ cost.

Funnies part about the story was how I found out, I was up in front of my truck with a pistol sighting when my friend shot it with his muzzle loader.
He said "How many bullets do you have in your gun?" "None" I replied. "Well, then I shot your truck."
Looking back, I can laugh about it.

i feel sorry for you! when is your baby going to be born?
I dont know if I would fix that lol, looks pretty cool and would make a real funny story if anyone ever asks how that happened.
Or you could just shoot the other rail and have them matching again.

I've seenthat happen twice in my back 40. the last time it happened, I was yelling don't do that. BANG. Kidhad a hole in his tailgate.
You must be semi new at marraige, you never tell the Wife. You willhear about it forever. Especialy when she has done something stupid for the fourth or fith time
What you need to do is tell her "I don't know how that got there. But I want to get it fixed

Hopefully you shot your truck when it was in season...
A good thing to do is get your weapon bore sighted before you attempt to shoot again. A little lower and it would have been real expensive, a wrecking yard should have this plastic piece.

nope it didnt hit anything important. I was drivin home from Mcdonalds and some a-holes decided they wanted to have some gang activities.
those guys probably thought i was crazy when i started chasing them...
I chased them for about 2.5 miles maybe more. I thought they threw something at me. So all along im chasing these guys that shot at me. They probably were scared to death.

Your lucky they didn't kill ya! What was your first thought after you got home and figured out that they shot your truck and didn't throw something at it?
