Kermit eyes the bullet
In me yoof I got hold of an old air rifle which had seen better days and didn't have enough puff to push a pellet down the barrel in a single shot. So being the industrious and curious type, I set about renewing its power with a new spring and a set of seals that I made to fit. The spring wasn't an airgun one but just something we had that roughly fitted. All this, to my surprise, actually worked and I borrowed an old scope and took the lot up to my bedroom to start sighting it in. Pellet in, barrel broken and reset, we are good to go.
Squinting through the grubby and just mounted scope I began to look around for a suitable target to roughly aim and was interested to spot a frog lurking in the flowerbed about 25 yards off. Not expecting to hit anything within feet of the innocent frog, I carefully pulled the trigger and that very first shot went straight through ol' froggy's eye like a scene from an improbable war movie.
Poor little bugger, minding his own business and taken out by a random sniper.
Yeah, it was only a frog but I felt fucking awful.

But what a shot.
