When I was in grad school there were about 5 students in our department who were shooting enthusiasts. We generally shot most weekends. By the time I graduated we had maybe a dozen regular shooters, many of them had never shot a pistol in their life.
One of our favorite pastimes was to line up a row of 12 guage shotgun shells (empties) at about 50 yards in an old clay pit. We would shoot at them mostly with .22's. Even the ones who had never shot until we showed them how, could hit the shells pretty regularly, maybe once in three shots. A couple of the better shots could hit them most of the time.
Now I will admit that at least half the hits were the result of hitting under the shell and having dirt knock the shells over or having the bullet bounce into the shell, but still the new shooters were amazed how well they could hit once they realized it was possible.
