    Handgun, like stated above, is only accurate to about 25 yards. Now a rifle is a whole different can of worms. I can shoot my .22 win mag with a fairly high degree of accuracy at 100 yards. 200 yards is a lot harder due to the bullet being so light but I can still keep a decent grouping at 200 yards.

    ...and then there are superhumans who can hit a target from 1,000yds with a .50cal rifle shooting offhand.

    I would say that the target size matters here though... to hit a Tractor/Trailer combo... you have almost 80 x 13 feet...

    I am no marksman, especially with a pistol/handgun, but I bet I'd be able to hit somewhere in that 1000 sq ft, from 100 yards, at least 25% of the time, even with spin off and loss of velocity...

    Again, I am not disagreeing with you at all, but can I assume your qualifying targets were smaller than a Walmart Trailer?

    I bet you of all people could hit it from a football field consistently.


    But I digress, since I bet this is a Rifle of some kind. Even a 12 yr old with a .22 rifle could hit a truck, no problem, after just a few hours of learning how to shoot.

    20 bucks says they get a strict talking to and then set free. IMO they should be held financially liable for the cost of repairs and their parents should be given crap too. No way should a 14 year old be allowed to shoot unsupervised no matter how responsible they are.
