Certainly nothing to brag about, even my incorrect spelling of the word "Warrior"...drained

But hey, I had fun right?

Made me think of Lonesome Dove when the bad guy was taunting Duvall and he raises the elevator and nails him!  Good shooting!

Looks like some pretty accurate shooting there.

It would be interesting to try the same exercise with real black powder loads with no cleaning in those guns  as was used back then at the Little Big Horn.

John Kort did that about 7 years ago 

 

Doc Pardee did 100 yards back in 1875

Very interesting, especially the link, thanks.

Have some experience with a S. Sharps 74 BPCR at long range with black but that is a different cat. There was a Sharps that was used at the little Big Horn, but not with Custer. Don't remember which unit. It was used by a 1st. Sgt. Ryan as I recall.
