Many years ago, I shared an apartment with a graduate of West Point. One day he and his fellow cadets were told to bring their service pistols to a range. To save money on ammunition, apparently, each was issued only one bullet. When the officer came by to watch my roommate fire his 1911, my roommate hit a bull's eye smack dab in the center. The surprised officer nodded and said "Nice shooting." When that supervisor was out of earshot, the cadet standing next to my roommate observed that he had missed his own target entirely, and asked whether my roommate had deliberately aimed at that cadet's pristine target instead of his own. No, he had not.
No, that never happened.
