[QUOTE="Tesoro, post: 1433809, member: 44340"] We have a black powder silhouette club at my range. They all shoot variations of sharps 30 to 45 cal and once day spectating I got to play with one of the shooter's rifles when the competition was over. I was amazed how I was able to consistently ping the 24in rams at 500 yds. The next week I brought out my marlin guide gun 45-70 with scout scope to shoot at our big 500yd gong. I had to aim about 20 ft up a big pine behind it to make hits. I used the branch steps on the trunk as my ranging mechanism. Quite the rainbow trajectory but those guys shot and killed buffalo farther than that back in the day. [SIZE=14px] If I didnt have too many things to do already [/SIZE]I[SIZE=14px] would be shooting with those guys. Some of the old members will practically gift you a rifle to shoot with them as the younger crowd isnt that interested and packing the steel to set it up and take down isnt for those old boys![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
