Long Range Black Powder

[roy cobb]

Well I attended a competition shoot on the weekend and had a great time did not win and did not come last but part of the shoot was a single shot no sighters at a target at 1130 yards and I hit the target I Am very proud of that ( NO SCOPES USED ONLY vernier sights ) will have to see how I go next year at the shoot

That's a great feat roy cobb. What rifle were you using?? I have just discovered black powder cartridge rifles and am fascinated, love something different!!

Have a good day

1130 yards, black powder and open sights - very impressive

Agree very cool. I took my new 45-70 high wall out on the weekend for its first outing and my first foray into vernier sights and was having fun getting it on paper at 100 meters, 1130 yards is awesome.

Thanks for that, my rifle is a 45/70 1874 sharps love how well they can shoot any working loads and casting adds some much more to it as well :lol:

Careful they are very addictive, you can't stop at just 1

These new Winchester Hiwalls by Miruko are very nice especially after you add gold bling paint to the laser engraving!

I still prefer the Pedersoli's especially the pistol gripped "Classic Model"
