Hathcock once shot an enemy sniper through the enemies own scope; Striking him in the eye, killing him.
Funny thing. I went to a gun show he was scheduled to attend to have my copy of his book autographed.
Unfortunately, he became ill and was unable to attend.
I still have the book; just no autograph, sadly.
