First of all if a real woodchuck would have been dead, it's a valid hit. Second, I'm part Welsh and deeply offended by the racial profiling. Or not; I'm also part Irish and I hear we drink a lot. I'm offended by that, too. I think I'll get a drink.

kiver, have you been married a year?
Would you like to stay married for two years??
(And did you read the marriage manual???)
This is not about firearms. Pay her.

Been married 8 years now and going strong.
We are not married on the range
![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
it is all on.
Unless you specified a clean, center mass hit, it went ding, you owe...
Think of it this way, had you wagered that she couldn't hit you with that .380 from that distance what would you say now with a bullet fragment in you?
Were you hit? I think so...![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

I got it being a guinea pig at a Friendly's taste testing she had me go to.
8 years?!
That's $5 a year or 42 cents a month.
Pay up!

Ha! Yeah, OK.
Were you planning on sleeping at the range?!

One more thing: I have found it's best not to conclude a marital debate with "Well, I polled everyone on NES and THEY said..."

Sounds like a hit to me. Also sounds like the kind of shot Bob Munden and Byron Ferguson get paid to do on TV. Pay the lady.

Too late...already voted
i agree with derek in this case. if you simply were messing around and hit it--it's a hit as it would have disabled the target. making a deal that you could hit the target and then hitting the ground which caused a ricochet into the target does not count as after the round hit the dirt you were taken out of the equation and physics takes over, etc.
What does the hole in the target look like? Bullet or stone? There is no possible way you could actually tell if the bullet hit it or a stone did. Unless you have high speed footage. Let's see the video.

All this thread does is make me realize that if I bet someone on NES that they can't hit a target I need to make sure that I specify that if they bounce it off the ground, hit a plane that falls from the sky and hits the target, or knock a tree down that makes the steel target go "ding" that it doesn't count. Wait, if you hit a hibernating bear who wakes up and bites the target, that doesn't count either... ![[rolleyes]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/042.gif "Roll Eyes [rolleyes]")

We saw a plastic cactus target at the show today. Want to go shooting?

You should see four brothers try to outshoot each other in archery and calling the 'shot/target'.
It sometimes got so bad we would have bets that if you were too far away from the original placement your nock became the target.
I needed to replace many nocks, fletchings and arrows. Big brothers can SUCK!
![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
Specificity counts BEFORE the shot is taken.
TO the OP: Lack of specifics and harmony in the marriage made me vote YES.
i want the plastic cactus. it can go next to the plastic penguin and the penis carved out of a log from the excrutiathon.

If I was at the range with a bunch of guys, I would 100% argue Derek's definition.
However, your wife with a 9mm Kurtz at 100 yards, making the shot with style points - Pay Up Buddy! (^_^)
Technicalities never makes the couch feel better.
BTW, speaking as Range Safety Officer, those kind of shots are really not a good idea as the ricochet could have popped it up over the berm just as easily. There are quite a few clubs that don't allow pistols at the longer ranges for that reason. Don't know if yours does or doesn't of if the other side of your berm is just dense forest, but I just want to mention it before others reading this try it and get in trouble with their club for it. Most people don't realize just how fast some pistol rounds drop.
I know, spoil sport. I'd just hate to see any NES member responsible for the next news story where some stray round landed in the back yard of some lawsuit happy liberal.

I believe in Agawam over the berm is a small mountain. The spot is approved for all calibers
