Joking aside, that is exactly right. You don't have to be off dead center much to stand a fair probability of a single pellet hit. As noted above, it will happen. The lower the probability, the rarer the event. But, shoot enough targets and you will get a one pellet hit or eve a zero pellet hit!! cry
