Man with No Name- Bottle Breaking

  When one loaded pistol remained on the stand, he took up the rifle instead. Far down the range a high wooden frame had been erected. Seven empty bottles were suspended from this by thin cords. The hunter took careful aim with the rifle and squeezed the trigger.

  The slug cut the first cord neatly. As the bottle commenced to drop, he snatched up the pistol and fired one shot that shattered it before it touched the ground. The feat was duplicated five more times until the pistol was empty. Six cords had been clipped, six bottles smashed. The seventh bottle still hung from the frame, swaying gently in the breeze.

  The rifle slammed again, the cord parted and the remaining bottle plummeted downward. The hunter's hand dived under the poncho and out again, almost too fast for the eye to follow, bringing his own pistol. His single shot broke the bottle a foot above the ground.
