Saw a bullet go through exact same hole

[cclaxton]

I was SO for Maryland State IDPA Sanctioned Match for Stage 4. I was running a shooter who I saw put a second round through the exact same hole. Upon examination you could not tell (without a magnifying glass) that the second round had gone through. But I saw the shooter line up his second shot and I saw the target virbrate at the same location where the first round had hit. The target was an IDPA paper target at about 9 yards. Upon inspection the hole was a tiny bit oval, but normally I would have not called it a hit.

I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it myself. But with tens of thousands of rounds going downrange and master level shooters it is bound to happen sometime.

I did the same thing the other week while shooting Dot Torture. The only way you could tell that a second round had passed through was from the significantly darker grease ring.

I have seen it a number of times now when shooting RDS equipped pistols.

I get perfect doubles all the time, the dumb RO just keeps calling them Alfa/mike.

Last year I shot an IDPA match in which a shooter kept arguing that his misses were perfect doubles. I don't know if he meant to be funny or serious, but he kept doing it. Finally, one of the other guys on the squad offered him $100 if he could shoot a perfect double on demand. The claims stopped.

I'm a lousy shot and thought I'd blown a round completely off the backer today in Dot Torture, despite having seen the sights lift on what looked like a good clean hit, until I noticed that one of the holes in dot #4 was ever so slightly ovoid. It happens. I'll bet the guy in the OP couldn't do it on purpose on a bet.

I've seen it several times and have done it a few times, myself.

Nope not once...I believe every bullet needs it's own hole...it the Obama craze these days.

I had this happen at the PNTC USPSA match just yesterday. One hole in the target, I fired twice and saw the front sight lift off twice. I wouldn't have called it a double myself, but upon close inspection the hole was a tiny bit ovaled out, and showed two distinct grease rings. It can happen.

I have done it shooting Bullseye with very accurate .45 ACP target pistols.
Usually on the short line (25 yards).

Not too many times, but I have done it.
Sometimes I didn't realize until a scorer at a match picked one up.
