[QUOTE="DMP25-06, post: 1433975, member: 27271"] The video showing the White Buffalo was filmed at NRA Whittington Center . Range to the buffalo is 1123 yards , and the black plate is 16" diameter . That plate is hard enough to hit with a .308 Win. , with scope , due to constantly changing winds . If you look back at Dave's 2 shots , you will see that they are only 4 or 5 inches apart . FANTASTIC SHOOTING . Do a search to find the : " Billy Dixon 1573 yard shot kills Indian Chief at the BATTLE OF ADOBE WALLS , Texas . If memory serves me correctly , Billy Dixon was a buffalo hunter with a group of people besieged by an Indian war party at the Adobe Walls settlement in Texas . Dixon took an EXTREMELY LONG shot at the Indian Chief , who was overseeing the battle from a distance , and incredibly he hit and killed the Chief , thus ending the siege . The distance was measured by a railroad survey crew with their survey transit equipment to verify the distance . I do not remember if the survey crew was part of the group that was under siege by the Indians . Wikipedia lists : Billy Dixon and gives a brief history of him , the battle , and the shot . He used a borrowed .50-90 Sharps , as he did not think that his .45-90 Sharps could carry that range . Billy Dixon was one of only a few civilians to be awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor .
