Long-distance shooting with Shiloh Sharps 45-70
Long-distance shooting with Shiloh Sharps 45-70
Like to watch long-distance shooting. I watched a 2018 video of Sagebrush Longshots clanging steel at 900 yards. But there was no split screen of the steel target, and the viewer would only hear the target hit. Tonight I found a 2017 video of him shooting the same rifle at 650 yards. This one shows the target; think it's about a 3' square.
Man, this fellow is relaxed, relaxed, relaxed and just having fun. Nice, simple set up with his wood tripod. And that is one sharp-looking 1874 Sharps with that Vernier sight. Hope some Folk might enjoy this video.

I have watched that one several times before but enjoy it every time. Thanks. I won't be shooting that distance with my new High Wall, but expect to have at least that much fun....

Wind (his screen name on another popular lever action forum)... he sure did make the tacticool long range crew look bad sometimes, lol.
Super nice guy, sorely missed... he passed away about a year and a half ago.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Will look forward to whatever distance you work out of your High Wall, RR. Easy to see you (anyone) being excited about getting/shooting one of these rifles.RanchRoper wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 11:26 pmI have watched that one several times before but enjoy it every time.

Re: Long-distance shooting with Shiloh Sharps 45-70
Glad to provide the reminder, Al. Eight years of fun, right? My only long-distance shooting experience was those two years sending 1-oz slugs downrange (between 150-240 yards) with my 12-ga smooth bore pump s/g. These rifles look to be even more fun, as they easily reach out much farther.
What were the distances you went out to? Since I don't know, are there competitions for this style shooting, too?
