"...And I believe if he had the left blacked out a little, and put the crosshairs on target, I believe his shot will fall right (opposite of the blacked out crescent) of where his crosshairs are. It's an optical thing..."

It's called parallax. It has no effect at the range at which the scope is focused. And out of that range, it might move the point of impact by an inch a cupole hundred yards away.

It is EASY to kill people from far away with an ordinary rifle. Green soldiers have proven this millions of times. As have hundreds of millions of hunters (regarding killing game.)

"might move an inch at 100yrds"

That's what I was trying to explain to the lady, since this last shot seemed to be a little off, as compared to the others. It's too bad it didn't drift enough to miss all together.

Oh, and thanks for the terminology for "crescent moon" thing. I couldn't think of the technical name for anything.
