Not SF quality yet...
My 15 yo had a wager regarding shooting a baseball cap at an unknown distance. He mil-doted it and took 4 shots with a friend's 30-06 Rem 700.

1st shot, nicks left edge of cap bill.
2nd and 3rd, very lucky snake eyes in the middle.
4th shot, drills UT Longhorn.

He showed it to me and dryly remarked, " Not SF quality yet, but I'm working on it". Brings a tear to a glass eye.

He shoots a lot better when cash is involved for some reason.

Forgot to add, his friends ranged it at ~300 yards.

Right now I can not think of a better target, except for an OSU ball cap. Nice shooting Mr. Mabuse.

As a Texas A&M grad, I will reiterate the excellent target selection - very nice shooting as well.
