    The term “pencil whip” is common in golf because the player marking the scorecard seldom loses. I have long recognized that there are a lot of similarities between golf and smallbore prone but, until I saw these results, I never gave any thought to possibility of getting “pencil whipped” in a prone match.

    It is not pencil whipping in the shooting sports. It is known as using the 22 caliber (or what ever caliber with which the match is being contested) pencil.

    My theory is if you can’t win on the firing line you can win in the stat office.

    Any way, you Crackers did not shoot so, as my Italian Nana used to say about the Pope making rules on birth control,”You no playa da game, you no makea da rules.”
