Stan, the guy you are describing is Lucky McDaniel. His system is the same as the system used by the U.S. Army in the "Quick Kill" course during the Viet Nam era. I took the Quik Kill course at Fort Bragg in late 1967. I had a bit of an advantage because I had been shooting aerial targets with rifles for several years before I joined (yeah, maybe not joined) the Army. However, the soldiers that had never shot a gun learned to shoot discs with the Daisy guns pretty quickly. I never got to where I could hit dime size thrown discs, but quarter size targets were a piece of cake. That one day with the BB guns was a welcome break from Infantry training.
