I finally got it!
Thanks for the inspiration Jaegoor and Mersa.
49 throws to get it today. I tried yesterday but didnt' count. It was more, probably around 80-100, so maybe 150 throws to get it.
It really forces you to focus. I think if I had a soda can where the card was, I would have had about 40 hits on the soda can. These is a really good training tool. Seemingly impossible shots, I mean.
Edit: Adding other's shots

Yes. It helps focus. The focus changes. Your shooting becomes quite physical. They get their minds to perceive a different goal

That's awesome man!
Unfortunately for me, I was not so accurate. I did around 130 throws today. I liked my overall consistency. Out of all my throws, probably only a handful were far off to the left or right. Everything else was in a pretty tight zone. But unfortunately no hit on the card. Got the bottles a couple times.

Woohoo! Nice shooting IG!
Next we want to see this while you’re blindfolded and riding a unicycle and juggling with the other hand

Great shot! I think you've created a new and even harder challenge as a result, which is hitting and moving the card without knocking it out!

Great shot! It would probably take me all day to make it.

Thanks guys. This felt much more difficult than hitting an egg, partially because I could barely make out the card with that white net being the background.
@AlbionSlinger Do trick shots count if you don't intend to do them? I'm not sure.
I think the trick to doing the card spin if one were to attempt it, is to get a really heavy top bottle and make a depression/groove in the card the shape of the bottle mouth (I had tried so many times and gotten sand in between the bottle and card, it had made a circular depression). Amazingly, the time I hit the card out was only 6 shots after the shot where I spun it. I think the card only came out because it wasn't in the groove the second hit and it started out pinched near the edge of the card.

I wish you could claim unintended shots.
A few are aware that I have been attempting a really hard challenge and I got a fluke , but I can’t claim it. If I get the actual shot I’ll be posting it on here.

I considered going with Lincoln but I didnt think John Wilkes Boothe would have quite the same ring to it. Of course you could make the cae that I simply shouldnt say it but we know thats not an option so realistically speaking Oswald it is.
Oh we could have quite the thread on that whole thing...

When it comes to achieving difficult hits, I look to the great philosopher Lil Jon
