No kidding, that's my secret too!

Shooting at the side of a barn - from the inside improves percentage of hits but even that is not 100% hits.

In the Air Force there was a joke that 100 % of our bombs dropped hit the earth. :lol:

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
