"...Two brothers of the company took a piece of board five inches broad and seven inches long, with a bit of white paper about the size of a dollar, nailed in the center, and while one of them supported the board between his knees, the other, at a distance of upwards of sixty yards, and without any kind of rest, shot eight bullets through it successively, and spared a brother's thigh!"  Lancaster Pennsylvania Journal, August 23, 1775
